 Body supported mirror

Details
Inventors: Wright, Jane B.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Shafer; Ricky D.
Assistant Examiner: Robinson; Mark A.
Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A body supported mirror combination which includes a tube-like support which is draped around the neck of a wearer. The material of the tube is preferably made of a knitted fabric. The tube itself is filled with a kernel-type material to render the tube structure pliable so that it can drape itself around the neck of a wearer and so that it can conform itself to the chest contours of different wearers. The tube can be adjusted to different lengths. A stabilizing plate is removably attached to the front of the tube-like structure at the chest area of a wearer. A hook-type material is attached to the interior of a semi-circular claw which is part of the stabilizing plate which hooks will connect themselves with the loops of the knitted material when the claw is draped over the tube-like structure. A flexible goose neck at one end is attached to the stabilizing plate and another end thereof has an adjustable mirror attached thereto. The various adjustabilities of the mirror allow the same to be adjusted for different uses, that is, in one position the mirror can placed in the front of a user for make-up purposes or in an over the shoulder position so that it can used as a rearview mirror for bicycling or roller blading, for example.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to FIG.
1, the numeral 1 refers to the overall mirror-support combination.
The mirror 2 has two sides 3, the flat side and 4, the concave side.
The mirror 2 itself is supported on a U-shaped support 5.
The U-shaped support can be eliminated in that the mirror 2 can be directly supported on the goose neck 7 by a swivel connection (not shown) so that the mirror 2 can be turned so as to exhibit either face 3 or 4 simply by turning it in its swivel support.
The mirror 2 is supported by a goose neck 7 at a connection joint 13 at one end to a plate 8 which in turn is supported or connected with another connection joint 12 at its other end to a tube-like structure 10.
Plate 8 is a stabilizing plate which will stabilize the weight of the mirror and goose neck combination against the contour of the chest of the wearer, although the weight of the mirror as well as the goose neck is kept at a minimum.
The plate 8 is supported on the sock-like or tube-like support around the neck of a wearer by a semi-circular claw 9 that partially surrounds the sock-like support 10.
The sock-like or tube-like support is preferred to be made of knitted material so as to be pliable and to be able to assume a draping characteristic around the neck of the wearer.
Of course, the tube or sock has to be filled with a coarse granular material 11 of a size such as rice, granular sand or the plastic kernels that are found in the "Beany Dolls" that children enjoy.
It is contemplated that the sock-like support be washable after extensive use and therefore, anything hostile to moisture should not be used within this structure.
Therefore, the plastic kernels used in the "Beany Dolls" are preferred.
Turning now to FIG.
2, there are shown the details of a preferred connection joint 12 for connecting the goose neck 7 to the stabilizing plate 8.
To this end, there is a socket 17 which is tapering inwardly to create a female receptacle and the goose neck has a male extension 18 having a shape conforming to the shape of the socket 17
