  • Patent number: 4602855
    Abstract: A mirror (1) is made accessible to non-ambulatory persons, such as those confined to a wheelchair, by providing a handle (44) at its base and a mechanism, actuated by the handle, for tilting the top of the mirror forward by up to 30 degrees. The mirror is attached to its support frame on each side at a fixed upper pivot (8) and at vertically sliding middle (10) and lower (5) pivots. The pivots do not attach directly to the mirror, but rather to a collapsible articulation mechanism. In the preferred embodiment, a connecting link (9) attaches to the middle sliding pivot (10) and to a bracket (14) at the top of the back of the mirror. An upper holding arm (7) depends from the upper fixed pivot and attaches to the center of the connecting link (9). The lower sliding pivot (5) is connected by a short angle bracket (13) to the bottom of the back of the mirror. The lower end of the connecting link (9) is supported on a height-adjustable track (11).
