ABSTRACT:
A dual-face mirror compact case which, in the closed position, is sufficiently small to be carried in a purse, pocket and the like. Disposed longitudinally inside the case is an extendable and retractable yoke with a pivoting, dual-faced mirror assembly attached at its distal end. The mirror assembly is pivotally attached to the yoke so that it may pivot on its transverse axis, allowing the user to easily choose a normal reflective surface or a magnifying reflective surface. A press button is attached to the housing which, when activated, enables the yoke and mirror assembly to automatically extend from the housing via a spring located inside the housing. When the user is done using the mirror surfaces, the mirror assembly is pivoted into a longitudinally aligned position on the yoke and the yoke is forced into a locked, retracted position inside the housing. An optional light is provided on the housing, which can be used to illuminate the used mirror surface and the reflected viewed surface. In another embodiment, the compact case is a clam shell design with two lids that pivot around the mirror assembly.
