Abstract: A vanity mirror assembly has a protective cover (7) which pivots with respect to a mirror frame (6) by virtue of a hinge arrangement consisting of a pivot arm (8), attached to the cover (7), snap-fitted to a pivot axle 14, attached to the frame (6). The cover (7) can be positioned and held in either a closed position, totally covering the mirror, or in one or more predetermined open positions. The cover is held in place by a band-type spring acting against a cam surface located on the pivot arm (8).

Abstract: A multiple lamp shade system for a light bulb in which one of the lamp shades is rotatable and powered by heat given off by the light bulb. A multiply apertured base is held against a light bulb socket by surface contact with the light bulb. A light transmissible stationary inner lamp shade is attached at one end to the base. The other end of the inner lamp shade is partially occluded by a thrust plate on which is located an axially positioned upstanding pointed member. A peripheral annular gap is provided between the wall of the inner lamp shade and the thrust plate. A light transmissible rotatable lamp shade is co-axially mounted over the inner lamp shade and is bearingly supported via a bearing plate, at one end on the upstanding pointed member. A plurality of air vent chutes are annularly arranged adjacent the bearing plate. In operation, the light bulb heats the air within the lamp shades, causing an air convection current which upwells within the lamp shades.
