Application filed December 21, 1.905l vSlejra1- No@ 2921815@ and adjust the hat after the performance and to rovide for hanging' the hat and wraps, faci ity of use, ease of adjustment, simplicity of construction, comparative inexpensiveness of manufacture, strength, and durability. These objects I attain by means of ,j the mechanism illustrated in the accompa- 20 nying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation; Fig. 2, a rear elevation; Fig. 3, a vertical section Online 1 2 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4, a vertical section on line 3 4 of Fig. 2 Fig. 5, a plan view of the blank of which the socket-plate is formed; Fig. 6, a perspective view of the socket-plate, and Fig. 7 an edge view showing the mirror drawn out for use. a

Similar reference-numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

The stationary frame 1, the swinging frame formed of pieces 7 and 8, the mirror 3, and the hooks 4 constitute the 'body of the invention.

The numeral 2 designates the back of an auditorium-chair, only a portion of which is shown in the drawings.

The frame 1 is preferably stampedl from sheet metal in a single piece and hollow underneath. Near the upper part of the side bars depressions 11 may be formed to serve as halves of j ournal-boxes. A swinging frame for mounting mirror 3 is formed by the two vertical strips of metal 7 and a transverse strip 8. The transverse strip 8 is bent over at each end to form a U-shaped receptacle for the edgesof the mirror 3. The lower ends of strips 7 are similarly bent, and the upper ends of'these stri s are bent forward to form a circular eye an the ends then curved outward to correspond with the bevel of the mirror 3 and embrace it. Strip 8 may be riveted onto strips 7 at their intersection, thus forming a firm frame. f In the eyes formed at the upper ends of strips 7 a rod 6 is mounted?, spreferably riveted .in the eyes, yS0

that it srisswth the swinging frame. This rod extendsbeyond the edges of the mirror, and thus provides pintles upon which the mirror swings,l the pintles being ymounted in boxes 11 and secured by additional adjustable halves of boxes 5, which are secured to the frame underneath, so as to cover the pintles, andfastened with bolts 10. The boxes 5 are provided with integral sockets, in which are pivoted hanging hooks 4, thus forming combined adjustable socket-plates and journal-boxes. These I prefer to form of a sheetmetal blank, (shown in Fig. 5,) the finished member being shown in perspective in Fig. 6. The hanging hooks 4 being mounted at the edge of the frame are adapted to fold into the frame and have their knobs normally within the said frame, so that they will not interfere with the clothing of persons passing by.

mirror and its frame are also Hush with the chair in the rear of the one to which my attachment is applied, she may draw out the mirror into position and arrange her hair after removing her hat. She may. then hang her hat on one of the hooks 4 and her wraps on the other hook, and in this way, -if-she likes, may cover the mirror, so that persons behind her may not look into it. After the performance she may adjust her hat and wraps by the use of the mrror. Hooks 4 may then be pressed into the receptacle and mirror 3 pressed down flush with the stationary frame 1. It will be understood that on account of the friction produced upon the roo I have thus described my invention so that any one skilled in the art pertaining thereto may make and use it.

I claimsockets at right angles to the journal-boxes, a swinging frame carrying a mirror and provided With pntles at its upper corners, said In an attachment for auditorium-chairs, pintles being adapted to be mounted in the 5 the combination ofastationary frame adaptjournal-boxes, and hooks mounted in the ed to be secured to a chair and formedwth friction-sockets, as and for the purposes set depressions in its sides near its upper end, forth. adjustable clamping socket-p1ates secured to the stationary frame inregister With said deio pressions to form j ournal-boXes, said socketplates being provided with integral friction- BESSIE M.
