Abstract
A portable heated mirror includes a mount subassembly that includes a mount housing and a mount member that is configured to releasably attach the heated mirror to a support surface. The heated mirror also includes a mirror subassembly that is pivotally attached to the mount subassembly by a ball-in-socket arrangement. The mirror subassembly includes a mirror housing that contains a mirror and a flexible heating element in the form of a flexible heat film that contains heating elements and is secured to a rear surface of the mirror for heating the mirror when the flexible heat film is actuated. A battery power source is operatively connected to a printed circuit board that is contained within the mirror housing.
Claims23
A portable heated mirror comprising:
- a mount subassembly including a mount housing and a mount member that is configured to releasably attach the heated mirror to a support surface;
- a mirror subassembly that is pivotally and detachably coupled to the mount subassembly such that the mirror subassembly can be completely detached from the mount subassembly and remain fully operative, the mirror subassembly including a mirror housing that contains a mirror and a flexible heating element that is disposed relative to a rear surface such that when the flexible heating element is actuated, heat is generated along the rear surface of the mirror;
- and a battery power source that is operatively connected to heating element.
A portable heated mirror comprising:
- a mount subassembly including a mount housing and a mount member that is configured to attach the heated mirror to a support surface, wherein the mount housing includes a notch formed therein and open along a perimeter of the mount housing;
- a mirror subassembly that is pivotally attached to the mount subassembly by a ball-in-socket arrangement that includes a ball member that has a ball at a first end and a locking block at an opposing second end that is configured for sliding insertion into the notch of the mount housing for detachably coupling the mirror subassembly to the mount subassembly such that the mirror subassembly can be completely detached from the mount subassembly, the mirror subassembly including a mirror housing that contains a mirror and a flexible heating element in the form of a flexible heat film that contains heating elements and is secured to a rear surface of the mirror for heating the mirror when the flexible heat film is actuated;
- and
- a battery power source that is operatively connected to a printed circuit board that is contained within the mirror housing.
A portable heated mirror comprising:
- a mount subassembly including a mount housing and a mount member that is configured to releasably attach the heated mirror to a support surface;
- a mirror subassembly that is coupled to the mount subassembly, the mirror subassembly including a mirror housing that contains a mirror and a flexible heating element in the form of a flexible heat film that contains heating elements and is secured to a rear surface of the mirror for heating the mirror when the flexible heat film is actuated;
- and
- a battery power source that is operatively connected to a printed circuit board that is contained within the mirror housing;
- wherein the mirror housing includes a front part that surrounds a perimeter of the of the mirror and rear part to which the battery power source and the printed circuit board are fixedly coupled, the flexible heat film being disposed between the mirror and the battery power source, the front part being fixedly coupled to the rear part.
