Be it known that 1, PETER L. JOHNSON, of Springfield, county of Hanipden, and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in VVindow-lliirrors, of which the following is a specification, reference be ing had to the accompanying drawings.
The object of my invention is to provide an improved adjustable reflector, which shall be simple, cheap, and easily operated, adapted to be secured outside a window, by which the street in both directions and the door of the house may be seen by a person within the room. I
Heretofore window-mirrors have been somewhat complicated and expensive, and were not easily adjustable.
The invention consists in the general con- I struction and arrangement, as hereinafter set metal.
out.
In the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate like parts, Figure 1 is a top view of my device. Fig. 2 is a front, and Fig. 3 a side, view of the same. Fig. 4 is a view of the device as seen from below, andv Fig. 5 is a view of the lower mirror. i
The frame is preferably constructed of sheet The dotted lines in Fig. 1 indicate the position of two of the reflectors. The part or projects over the mirrors to protect them from the weather. The mirrors b and 0 stand at an angle to each other, as shown, and the lower mirror, d, is arranged below, and is held at an incline, which may be easily varied by moving the mirror. A bracket, f, is secured to the window-frame, and a supporter, 6, extends from it to the reflector. The reflector is pro- (No model.)
vided with a socket, g, in which the part h of the supporter fits. with loops or straps z, which receive bent or circular portions of the supporter 6. This, it will be seen, forms a cheap and simple supporter, which allows of the utmost freedom of adj ustment.
The reflector may be separated from the supporter by turning it upon its pivot until the portion j escapes from the sockets i, when the pivotal portion h of the supporter may be removed from the socket g.
The facility with which'the device may be turned in either direction enables the observer The frame is provided 0 to have a much larger range of vision than 1 would otherwise be the case. r
The lower mirror is held in position by a metal strap, '70, which is secured to the mirror d, as shown, and is secured to the frame by passing through a loop, I, and over a catch orprojection, m, which passes through an opening in the strap made to receive it. The edges of the portion of the frame which holds the glass are turned to catch over the edges of the glass,
as heretofore stated. The frame is inclosed
