Abstract
Abstract An adjustable mirror stand assembly such as may be used to assist in the application of make-up, has a pair of spaced apart pivoting units to allow substantially one hundred eighty degree spherical positioning at any angular relationship to a supporting surface. An adjustable length shaft further provides height variations of the mirror above the supporting surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
230 words
An adjustable mirror stand unit comprising: a base member of substantial mass and having a shape of a portion of a shpere with a post extending away therefrom along an axis normal to the horizontal plane of said base; a first cylindrical shaped pivoting unit having a vertical angular positioning section and an axially in line horizontal rotating section, said angular positioning section having a stationary ball pivot secured to said post on said base for pivoting said unit through an angle of one hundred eighty degrees about said axis normal to said base and said horizontal rotating section havina a cam means for rotating said pivoting unit about its axis; a telescoping staright shaft means adapted to be secured at one end to said horizontal rotating section of said first pivoting unit for rotation therewith and having threaded means at the other end of said shaft; a second cylindrical shaped pivoting unit adapted to be threadably secured to said shaft at one end and having a ball pivoting member extending from the other end, said pivoting unit having means adapted for rotating through a circular plane of movement parallel to said shaft means; and a mirror attached to said ball pivoting member of said second pivoting unit, said mirror positionable in a hemispherical arc having its center at said first pivoting unit and rotatable about said second pivoting unit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
An adjustable mirror stand mirror stand unit according to claim 1 wherein said mirror has dual spaced apart rim resilient bumper means surrounding said mirror, the inner rim containing said mirror and the outer rim deforming for absorbing any external forces within the plane of said mirror.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
An adjustable mirror stand unit according to claim 2 wherein said mirror is circular in shape and is retained in said dual spaced apart rim resilient bumper means by means of the elastic forces due to said inner rim diameter being stretched to encircle said mirror.
