KATE MANSFIELD GREENWOOD, OF KENSINGTON, ENGLAND.

MIRROR-SUPPORT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 439,001, dated October 21, 1890..

Application filed May 19, 1890.

To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, KATE MANSFIELD GREENWOOD, spinster, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain` residing at 19 Argyll Road, Kensington,in the county of Middlesex, England,'have invented an Improved Mirror-Sup port, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to enable a lady to use bot-h hands to dress her back hair and at the same time to see what she is doing, thus obviating the troublesome necessity of repeatedly taking up and putting down the hand-glass to ascertain whether the dressing of the back hair is being rightly carried on.

A pad, to which is pivoted one end of a bracketandto the other end of which is pivoted a mirror, is attached to the body of the wearer bya band,the middle of which passes around the back of her neck, the ends coming to the front and passing down through eyes or slits in the pad are crossed and pass to the back of the waist, where they are secured, so that the pad is held firmly in position. The mirror can then be adjusted by turning it about the pivots.

In order that my lsaid invention Inay be fully understood and readily carried into effect, I will proceed to describe the drawings hereunto annexed.

Figure 1 is a front elevation showing the parts constituting the improved mirror-support as I prefer lto arrange it. Fig. 2 shows the mirror-support in use.

a is a frame with a small mirrormounted in it and resembling an ordinary hand-glass.

Serial 110.352,357. (No model.)

b is a bracket tdwhich the part a is pivoted, and this bracket b is in turn pivoted to a pad c. The pad c is secured to the body of the user by a band cl, which, as is seen in Fig. 2, passes around the neck and through loops or guides on or in the pad. In these the band runs freely, and its ends are connected together behind the back.

- e in Fig. 2 indicates a cheval glass. The reection in this is seen inthe mirror set in the frame ct.

What I claim isbracket b, pivoted thereto, the strap d, extending around the waist and over the shoulders of the user, and the pad @secured'to the band CZ between the waist and shoulders and to which the bracket is pivoted.

2. The combination of the mirror-frame a, the bracket b,pivoted vertically to the frame c and to the pad c, the said pad c and the band cl,connected with the pad, passing thence behind the neck of the wearer, returning to the front, passing through a loop or guide on the pad, and afterward passing again to the back and there meeting and being connected with the other end of the band, all substantially as herein described.
