Mirror apparatus

Claim 1

Apparatus comprising: a support rod; bracket means slidably mounted on said support rod; at least two mirrors articulatingly supported in said bracket means and pivotally movable about an axis parallel to said support rod; means comprising a plurality of legs for supporting said apparatus, said legs being coupled to said support rod and being individually adjustable to permit said support rod to remain relatively vertical on uneven terrain; said bracket means including at least one pair of opposed spherical chambers, each chamber having an elongated slot formed therein; said mirrors each having a generally spherical protruberance received by one of said chambers for being articulatingly supported in said bracket means; said bracket means having a generally vertical aperture for receiving said support rod; means for deforming said bracket aperture to increase the friction between said aperture and said support rod; said means for supporting said apparatus comprising block means having a plurality of apertures and a generally tubular leg slidably received in each aperture, each leg frictionally contacting said aperture; said block means having a central aperture for receiving said support rod; and each of said plurality of apertures extending at an acute angle relative to a horizontal plane and having a generally circular opening on one side of said block tapering to a generally elliptical opening on the opposite side of said block, said legs being pivotable within said aperture between a first position and a second position, said legs being freely slidable relative to said block in said first position, and frictionally fixed in said block in said second position.
