Abstract
The invention relates to a frame assembly for displaying a plurality of indicia and reflecting an image. The frame assembly comprises a frame supporting at least one light source, a sheet member positioned adjacent to the light source, a substrate bearing indicia releasably secured to the sheet member, a mirror positioned adjacent to the sheet member and light source, and a sensor for detecting an object. The frame assembly in a first mode displays desired indicia through the mirror and, upon the sensor detecting an object at a desired distance, in a second mode functions as a mirror to reflect an image.
Claims17
A frame assembly for displaying indicia and reflecting an image, said frame assembly comprising:
- a frame;
- at least one light source supported by said frame;
- a sheet member supported by the frame and positioned substantially adjacent to said at least one light source, said sheet member bearing indicia;
- a mirror supported by the frame and positioned substantially adjacent to said sheet member and said at least one light source, said mirror for reflecting an image;
- and
- a sensor supported by said frame, said sensor for detecting the presence of an object at a desired distance;
- wherein said frame assembly in a first mode of operation functions to display said indicia through said mirror;
- and
- wherein said frame assembly in a second mode functions as a mirror.
A frame assembly for displaying indicia and reflecting an image, said frame assembly comprising:
- a frame;
- a display panel supported by said frame, said display panel capable of displaying a plurality of indicia;
- a mirror supported by said frame and positioned substantially adjacent to said display panel, said mirror for reflecting an image;
- and
- a sensor supported by said frame, said sensor for detecting the presence of an object at a desired distance;
- wherein said frame assembly in a first mode of operation functions to display said indicia through said mirror;
- and
- wherein said frame assembly in a second mode functions as a mirror.
