Abstract: A lighted travel mirror adapted to alternatively stand alone or be hand held including a housing with a pair of side lights, a reflective surface on one surface, a side having a lower edge, and an elongate recess opening to the housing along the lower edge. The recess includes slots upon opposing sides to receive a base support slidingly and frictionally mounted in the recess, and the support includes pivot arms at its inner end with the pivot arms being operatively engaged with the slots. The result is a mirror with a base support which can be alternatively stored within the recess or withdrawn from the recess and pivoted so as to form a stable T-shaped base for the mirror.

Abstract: An electric curling iron operative to provide uniform heating at both domestic (120 v) and foreign (240 v) voltages includes first and second rope-type electric heaters disposed side by side in the heatable barrel of the curling iron. The heaters are of the same configuration, coextensive in length with each other and the length of the barrel and are separated from each other by a sheet of electrical insulating material dividing the barrel longitudinally into two compartments each containing one of the heaters. A double throw switch on the curling iron enables energization of the first heater alone at the domestic voltage and both heaters in series at the foreign voltage, the relative resistances of the heaters being selected to produce the same output wattage whether the first heater alone or both heaters are energized.
