Abstract

A makeup accessory comprising a base and a frame carrying a mirror mounted on the base, a bracket comprising pairs of pivoted members which permit pivoting the frame of the device mounting the frame to the base from a closed position over the base to an intermediate position extending outwardly beyond the side of the base of the device, and further swinging the frame from the intermediate position to an open position with the frame upstanding from one side of the base.

Claims

1. A makeup accessory comprising a base, a frame superposed on said base, a mirror extending across said frame, mounting means adjacent to one side of said base mounting said frame on said base for swinging movement between a closed generally horizontal position with said mirror facing upwardly and an upstanding position with said mirror facing inwardly from said one base side, said mounting means comprising a first pair of pivoted members connecting said frame to said base and having a pivotal axis transverse of both said base and frame for pivoting the latter to an intermediate position extending outwardly beyond said one base side, and a second pair of pivoted members connecting said frame to said base and having a pivotal axis generally parallel to said frame and base for swinging said frame from said intermediate position to said upstanding position, one of said first pair of pivoted members being integral with one of said second pair of pivoted members, and said first pair of pivoted members comprising a pair of facing plate portions, and a first pivot extending through said pair of plate portions transversely of said base and frame.

2. A makeup accessory according to claim 1, wherein said base comprises a receptacle, and said frame and mirror comprises a cover for said receptacle when said frame is in its closed position.

3. A makeup accessory according to claim 1, in combination with illuminating means carried by said frame.

4. A makeup accessory according to claim 1, in combination with electrical illuminating means carried by said frame, conductor means extending from said illuminating means into said base, and a stop lug on at least one of said plate portions limiting pivotal movement thereof.

5. A makeup accessory according to claim 4, said first pivot being hollow, and said conductor means extending through the hollow of said first pivot between said frame and base.

6. A makeup accessory according to claim 1, in combination with a second pivot connecting said second pair of pivoted members together for relative swinging movement of said frame and base in dihedral angular relation about an axis transverse of said first pivot.

7. A makeup accessory according to claim 6, in combination with resilient means urging said second pair of pivoted members in one direction of their relative swinging movement to bias said frame toward its closed and upstanding positions according to the relative position of movement of said first pair of pivoted members.

8. A makeup accessory according to claim 7, said second pair of pivoted members comprising hinge members, said second pivot comprising a hinge pin pivotally connecting said hinge members, and said resilient means comprising a spring operatively connected between said hinge members.

9. A makeup accessory according to claim 6, in combination with a resiliently yieldable cam having angularly disposed abutment portions, one cam abutment portion being engageable with said second pair of pivoted members when said frame is closed to yieldable maintain the frame closed, and another abutment portion being engageable with said second pair of pivoted members when said frame is open to yieldably maintain the frame open.

10. A makeup accessory according to claim 9, said cam comprising a disc seated on said plate portions and extending over one of said second pair of pivoted members for abutting engagement therewith.
