  • Patent number: 6273575
    Abstract: A self-inspection apparatus includes a frame that supports a mirror. The frame includes first and second side members connected to first and second cross-members. The inner edges of the first and second side members and the first and second cross-members define an opening that permits access to a user's genital region. The first side member includes a first protrusion and the second side member includes a second protrusion that along with the inner edge of the first cross-member define a slot for holding the mirror. Furthermore, the first side member extends beyond the second cross-member to form a first mounting member and the second side member extends beyond the second cross-member to form a second mounting member. The inner edge of the first mounting member, the inner edge of the second mounting member, and the outer edge of the second cross-member define a curved surface that approximates the shape of a toilet bowl.
