ABSTRACT:
An illuminated mirror device is provided as an aid to application of cosmetics. The mirror device provides two mirror-carrying wings that are pivotable between an open planar position and a closed, cassette-like, construction that conveniently provides the mirror device with character as a travel appliance. Pivoting of the wings is about a translucent tube that surrounds an electrically energized source of illumination, and which tube transmits light to the wings which, by reason of their character, guide light therethrough to the free edges of the wings from where illumination is directed toward the object that is to be seen in the mirrors. The wings are provided with inclined border surfaces from which light is reflected toward the object to be illuminated. Accessories include: a pivotable second tube, concentrically within the translucent tube, for selectively changing the quality of the light transmitted therethrough from the light source; a support for the mirror device to make it free standing; and a light conducting rod, that when mounted on the translucent tube operates to selectively direct a spot of light from the light source against the object being examined in the mirrors.
