Corrective makeup and employing prescription lenses

Claim 2

A makeup mirror assembly adapted for use by an individual having a visual handicap, which handicap can be corrected by means of corrective lenses or the like, comprising: a. a mirror having a reflecting surface, b. a first and second corrective lens assembly positioned in front of said reflecting surface, one at a right side and one at a left side, each of said first and second lens being pivotally mounted at a distance in front of said mirror to enable a user to view an image reflected from said surface with minimum distortion, and c. adjustable means for coupling said first and second lens assembly to such mirror for adjusting said distance in front of said mirror at a predetermined distance selected in accordance with the vision of said user.

Claim 3

The makeup mirror assembly according to claim 1 further comprising: a. a frame assembly adapted to retain said mirror about the peripheral edges thereof, and a stand secured to said frame for positioning said mirror on a horizontal surface.

Claim 4

The assembly according to claim 2 wherein said adjustable means further includes a separate rod for each of said lens, and adjustable means coupling each rod to said frame to permit said lens to be positioned in front of said mirror at any one of a plurality of predetermined distances.

Claim 5

The makeup mirror assembly according to claim 1 wherein said reflecting surface is of the type providing magnification.

Claim 6

A makeup mirror apparatus adapted for use by an individual having a visual handicap, which handicap can be corrected by means of corrective lenses as spectacles, comprising: a. a planar mirror, having a front reflective surface, and side surfaces defining a boundary for said reflective surface, b. a frame coupled to said mirror for retaining the same about the periphery of said side surfaces, c. a bracket secured to said frame and adapted to position said mirror at a given distance above a horizontal reference plane, d. first and second corrective lenses, each having an optical prescription according to the needs of said user, e. adjustable means coupling both said first and second lenses to said frame in front of said reflecting surface, said means as adjusted, enabling a user to position either of said lenses at any one of a plurality of distances in front of said surface.

Claim 7

A makeup mirror apparatus adapted for use by an individual having a visual handicap, which handicap can be corrected by means of corrective lenses as spectacles, comprising: a. a planar mirror, having a front reflective surface, and side surfaces defining a boundary for said reflective surface, b. a frame coupled to said mirror for retaining the same about the periphery of said side surfaces, c. a bracket secured to said frame and adapted to position said mirror at a given distance above a horizontal reference plane, d. first and second corrective lenses, each having an optical prescription according to the needs of said user, e. adjustable means coupling both said first and second lenses to said frame in front of said reflecting surface, said means as adjusted, enabling a user to position either of said lenses at any one of a plurality of distances in front of said surface.

Claim 8

The apparatus according to claim 5 wherein said adjustable means include a first rod coupled to said first lens at one end and a second rod coupled to said second lens at one end, and first and second brackets, one coupled to a right side of said frame and the other to a left side of said frame, each having a rod accommodating aperture for receiving the other end of one of said rods, to permit said rod to slide within said aperture for adjusting said distance.

Claim 9

The apparatus according to claim 5 wherein said reflecting surface of said mirror is of the type providing magnification.

Claim 10

The apparatus according to claim 6 wherein said first and second rods as coupled to said first and second lenses, comprises coupling means including a hinge assembly to permit the pivoting of said lenses with respect to said rod.

Claim 11

The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said first and second corrective lenses each include a frame for retaining the same, said frame being of the type generally employed in spectacles.
