Abstract
Abstract A mirror is arranged to reflect a relatively large area of the observer''s head or face and hinged thereto for adjustment at a variety of vertical angles is a directed source of light for casting a definite restricted beam toward the mirror and thence reflected onto a restricted area of the observer''s features. Both the restricted nature of the reflected beam and the positioning of the light source with its rear dark end in front of the eyes of the observer serve to shield his eyes from the glare of the light beam. The mirror is preferably of the concave variety.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
An easily portable light and sight reflective device for the selfexamination of facial features or the like of an individual, comprising in combination a boudoir or toilet mirror of conventional diameter and being concave to afford some degree of magnification, a light fixture comprising a light bulb having a parabolic reflector for focussing a concentrated beam of light of restricted diameter into the mirror to be reflected onto a portion only of the face of the viewer, a friction hinged bracket for adjustably securing said light fixture directly to said mirror to position it between the reflecting surface of the mirror and the viewer''s face, and means for shielding the rearward portion of said fixture to prevent direct emission of light toward the face, the degree of spherical curvature of the mirror being below that at which the restricted diameter of the direct beam projected onto the mirror would result in such a magnification of the diameter of the beam reflected as would cause it to impinge on the viewer''s eyes or unnecessarily illuminate more of his features than the restricted area under examination.
