Abstract
A multi-mirror system that includes an electrically-powered, lighted mirror having a plurality of reflective surfaces and a means with which to control the intensity of the emitted light.
Claims20
A device for applying cosmetics, the device comprising:
- a plurality of mirrors, each configured as an independent makeup mirror;
- a mirror support configured to support each of the plurality of mirrors, to position each of the plurality of mirrors circumferentially about a horizontal axis, and to orient each of the plurality of mirrors radially outward from said horizontal axis;
- an extension member with opposing arms configured to support the mirror support, the extension member further configured to elevate the horizontal axis to a height above a resting surface;
- and
- a base configured to support the extension member on a resting surface without supplemental support,
- wherein the arms rotationally connect to the mirror support.

A 3-in-1 mirror system comprising:
- a plurality of mirrors, each configured as an independent makeup mirror;
- a mirror support configured to support each of the plurality of mirrors, to position each of the plurality of mirrors circumferentially about a horizontal axis, and to orient each of the plurality of mirrors radially outward from said horizontal axis;
- an extension member with opposing arms configured to support the mirror support, the extension member further configured to elevate the horizontal axis to a height above a resting surface;
- a base configured to support the extension member on the resting surface without supplemental support;
- a light source;
- and
- a power supply configured to power the light source;
- wherein said plurality of mirrors include three mirrors circumferentially distributed about said horizontal axis;
- wherein said mirror support includes a cylindrical-type structure having a center axis, said center axis concentric with said horizontal axis;
- wherein the arms rotationally connect to the mirror support through a rotational couple between said cylindrical-type structure and said extension member;
- wherein said mirror support further includes a rotating cylinder exterior housing;
- wherein said rotational couple includes a pair of cylinder end caps, each cylinder end cap fixed to opposing ends of said rotating cylinder exterior housing;
- wherein the rotational couple further includes a pair of axle brackets, each axle bracket rotationally coupled to one of said pair of cylinder end caps, respectively;
- wherein said extension member includes opposing arms, each opposing arm extending toward each said cylinder end cap, respectively, and each fixed to one said axle bracket, respectively;
- wherein said base includes an extension member receiver that is configured to receive said extension member;
- wherein said power supply includes a universal serial bus (USB);
- wherein said power supply includes a rechargeable DC energy storage;
- wherein said power supply includes an AC power supply;
- wherein said light source includes a user interface that is configured to vary light intensity output by the light source, in response to a user command;
- wherein said light source includes at least one lighting tube configured to emit light onto said user;
- wherein said light source includes at least one light emitting diode and at least one diffusing medium configured together to provide an even distribution and softening of light source;
- wherein said light source is parallel and adjacent to at least one upper edge of said plurality of mirrors;
- wherein said light source is parallel and adjacent to at least one lower edge of said plurality of mirrors;
- wherein the arms are structured and arranged to secure said each of said plurality of mirrors in a desired position about 360 degrees of circumferential motion about said horizontal axis;
- wherein said plurality of mirrors includes at least one of a non-magnified mirror, a magnifying mirror having at least a magnification factor of seven, and a non-reversing mirror;
- wherein the light source is configured to light at least one of said plurality of mirrors ;
- wherein said plurality of mirrors includes said non-reversing mirror;
- wherein said non-reversing mirror is structured and arranged from two mirrors joined at a 90 degree angle along a shared vertical edge, such that a reflected image appears to the user as a non-reversed image.
