Illuminated spot mirror with retractable suction cups

Abstract

A portable mirror includes a pancake-shaped housing which contains a concave reflective mirror plate in a front side of the housing and a circular array of suction cups attached to a rear wall of the housing by re-positionable joints that enable the suction cups to be slid radially outwards to facilitate temporarily attaching the mirror to a flat surface, and slid radially inwards into slots provided in the rear wall of the housing to retract the suction cups into positions which inhibit accidental adherence to or entanglement with items typically carried in a purse. The mirror includes an LED illuminator which is powered by an internal battery and extends outwardly from the housing and emits light upwardly and inwardly toward a longitudinal center line of the mirror plate, thus obliquely illuminating a face which may viewed in the mirror, while avoiding direct illumination of the eyes.
