Abstract: An extending mirror which both swings out to space itself from its original position and also rotates about its mounting post has a crank mechanism which nests in a groove cut in the top of an upright panel which comprises one of the decorative members of a vanity, so that the mirror when in its home position does not reveal any of the extending mechanism, which comprises a double-ended crank, but when the mirror element is raised it can be swung rearwardly or forwardly on the crank to space it from other mirrors permanently mounted on the vanity so that the user may get side and rear views of his or her head.
