To all when-t it may concern! Be it known that we, CHARLES H. AYER, FRANKLIN .l. linen, and RALPH E. Denny,

citizens of the United Stetes of America, residing at Mount Clemens, in thecounty of Me: comb and State of Miclngan, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Adf'ustablo Mirror-Supports, of which the folowing is aspi-icilication, reference being had therein to the areompen ing drawings.

This invention particularly relates to toiletmirrors which are supported between standerds upon articles of furniture, such as toiletburesus, and which permit of moving the mirror bodily out from between the supports and to be'turned laterally and inclined at verious angles in any position into which it miiy he moved.

The invention consists in the novel construction of the supporting-flirts res, involving an in'xprovcment in the means for hinging them to the supporting-standards of the mirror and also in providing certain stops to limit the movement of the fixtures to prevent injury to the furniture or to the wall against which it is standing, ell 8.8:!1019 fully hereinafter described, and shown in .the ac companying drawin s, in which Figure] is arcercievation of n toilet-mirror )rovided with our improved mirror-support. hig. 2 is a detached perspective view of the universal-hinge connection between the nlirror-sup mrt and the mirror-frame. Fig, 3 is a detached perspective View of the adjustable bracket-support. Fig. 4 is a partial rear elevetion showing a. modified form of bracket and bracket-s11 pport.

1n the drawings, A represents the vertical standards attached to the top of a toilet-bureau,and B is a toilet-mirror su p ported there on by a pair of fixtures (3, which are duplimites o I each other and form the suhject-met-' tor of this invention. Each fixture comprises a bracket ineinber ll, provided with aliued aivots in. top and bottom and with means ior pivotally securing it in position on the standard toswingin a vertical ilauc. To this end the u )per )ivot is provided with a fixed bearing-i mu l the lower pivot has an adjostahie hearing l which consists of a ilatc it, having moons for securing it to the hack of the standard, and an ontrigwr-nrm b, slidingly adjustable thereon and orining a Step c [or the lower pivot of the bracket, all

so arranged that the lower pivot is laterally adjustable to admit of the nseofourfixtures on furniture of artistic design-es, For instance, shown in the drawings, wherein neither the mirror nor the standards have the conven-' tional straight vertical outlines. As shown in Fig. 3, the arm I; is provided with stops d 2, so positioned in lt'liitloll to the bracket that the step d limits its rear movement to revcnt it from striking against the well against which the bureau stands, while the other sto limits its forward movement to prevent it from striking the standards n ion the inside. Upon the swinging end of the )racket is pivotnlly secured an arm G, so as to swing in a horizontal plane. It is adapted to fold and rest on top of the bracket in the normal position of the mirror. To the end of this arm the mirror-frame is secured by-meens of 'a universelly-edjnstehle hinge connection com 'rrising the plate H, which is secured to the lyric k of the mirror-frame, and the link I, which is formed with two ears, one of which is iv otelly secured between the forked ends 0 the plate H and the other between the forked ends of the arm G, the pivotal connections being respectively mode by a vertical bolt f and a. horizontal clamping thumb-screw g, which permit of applying suitable friction to the hugeoints.

In Fig. 4 we show a slight modification, in which the bracket has ears for hingeconnection with its supports by means of bolts h, which form removable hinge-pins for the bracket, and the outrigger is screw-threaded into the late a for the mrpose of adjustability. s shown in the drawings, the arm E folds on top of the bracket, so that when the mirror is in its normal rearward osition the arm will hear at its free end on tile parts below, and thus relieve the hinges of a. portion of the weight of the mirror.

It will be seen that the construction herein shown and described forms a simple and -1uexpensive adjustable mirror-supIport which is easily applied and which is app cable to a greater variety of designs in toilet-bureaus then those in present use.

What we claim as our invention is l. A mirror-support for bureaus and the like, comprising a pair of like fixtures, each com rising a bracket, an arm hinged to the bran et, a u 111' vorsnhhinge connection between the arm and the mirror-frame, and supports hin edly connecting the bracket at its upper an lower ends withone of the supportingstandards of the mirror, the lower support being laterally adjustable. Y

2. A mirror-support for bureaus and the like comprising a air of like fixtures, each com rising a brac et, an arm hinged to the brao et and adapted to fold on top of the bracket, a universal-hinge connection between the arm and the mirror-frame and supports hingedly connecting the bracketat its upper and lower ends with one of the supporting-standards of the mirror the lower su portbeing laterally adjustable and provi ed with stops to limit the swing of the bracket thereon.

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
