Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a dual-switch multi-lamp makeup mirror having a bulb combination and configuration designed to simulate various light conditions.
  • Cosmetic mirrors are used to aid users in the application of cosmetics, installation of contact lenses and completion of other grooming tasks which require a close look at portions of the face. These devices feature mirrors that are generally face-sized or larger and are provided with one or more lamps configured to shine on the face of the user. Some products include a dual mirror construction wherein two mirrors are mounted on opposite faces of a housing, with each mirror having different magnification factors.
  • the present invention provides a makeup mirror equipped with a plurality of sockets for a plurality of lamps of differing wattages and temperatures.
  • the lamps may be compact fluorescent lamps (“CFLs”), cold cathode fluorescent lamps (“CCFLs”), or light emitting diodes (“LEDs”).
  • CFLs compact fluorescent lamps
  • CCFLs cold cathode fluorescent lamps
  • LEDs light emitting diodes
  • the lamps are placed adjacent to each other in a central portion behind the mirror. When illuminated, the different lights blend as the lightwaves travels to the perimeter.
  • a reflective surround at the perimeter of the mirror directs the blended light outward toward the face of the user.
  • the device allows a selection of two or more bulbs to provide the desired lighting condition.
  • one embodiment of the invention includes a soft warm CFL bulb, having a temperature of about 3000 Kelvin, similar to what may be found in traditional indoor lighting, with a wattage between 3 and 10 watts, and a second lamp could be a CFL bulb of about 5000 Kelvin, having a wattage between 11 and 23 watts.

  • the proximity of the two bulbs to each other provides light similar to daylight.
  • Other embodiments of the invention can include lamps of additional temperatures and wattages.
  • the user may light one, two, or more of the lamps in order to simulate a particular lighting situation. For example, the user may wish to light only the soft warm bulb to simulate more of a candlelight situation or light only the cool bulb to simulate

  • Figs. 2 and 3 show the interior of the inventive device with mirror 11 and translucent area 22 removed.
  • Frame 21 houses an interior space in which at least two CFL bases 24 are mounted, such that CFLs 31 inserted into bases 24 will be adjacent to each other, as shown in Fig. 3.
  • Bases 24 may be any standard CFL base, e.g., E12, E26, E27 or GU24.
  • the inside surface of frame 21 is lined with reflective material 25.

  • the switches may be configured so that one switch is a master switch, capable of turning off all the bulbs, and additional switches control specific individual bulbs.
  • the switches may be of any technology familiar to those skilled in the art, such as toggle, rotary, or touch pad switches.
  • the frame may be mounted on a pivot axle attached to a support base for rotating the frame such that either the first or second mirror may be used with equal ease.
  • the first switch controls a soft white light with a temperature between 2700 ad 3200 K, having a wattage between 3 and 10 watts. This sheds a warm and cozy light.
  • the second switch controls a 11w to 23w full spectrum bulb, having a temperature of about 5000 K. Both bulbs are energy saving CFLs; LEDs are also appropriate for this use. The two bulbs are proximal to each other. When both switches are turned on, this bulb placement allows the even blending of the different wattages and colors to yield a natural light which is reflected by the reflective surfaces through the translucent perimeter onto the face of the user.
  • Alternative embodiments may include a third bulb of 9-1Ow with a temperature between 3900 and 4900 K or between 3300 and 3800 K.
  • the bulbs could be configured as shown in Fig. 4A where the sockets 24 would be placed either in a symmetrical configuration around the perimeter of the inner frame or, as shown in Fig. 4B, in an asymmetrical configuration.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un miroir à maquillage doté d’une pluralité de douilles destinées à accueillir une pluralité de lampes dont chacune est dotée d’une température et d’une puissance nominale différente. Les lampes sont disposées de manière adjacente les unes par rapport aux autres, dans une partie centrale située à l’arrière du miroir, de telle sorte que les longueurs d’onde différentes puissent se combiner à mesure que la lumière se propage vers le périmètre. Un cadre réfléchissant disposé sur le périmètre du miroir, dirige la lumière combinée vers le visage de l’utilisateur. Le dispositif permet de sélectionner une ou plusieurs ampoules afin d’obtenir la condition d’éclairage voulue.
