## Abstract

Adjustable side mirrors flanking a central cabinet door mirror are supported by frames formed as stampings from sheet material so as to permit the side mirrors to be pivotally adjusted from positions in the same plane with the central mirror into both adjacent angular relationships with the central mirror and into remote angular relationships therewith.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mirror mounting support comprising a vertically planar arm section provided at its opposite ends with horizontal, first and second ears extending oppositely and normal to the plane of said arm section, a mounting bracket having a horizontally extending ear directly pivotally connected to the first ear of said arm section and an anchor portion adapted for attachment to an end of a wall-mounted frame so that the ear of said mounting bracket extends laterally beyond said frame end, a mirror support bracket having a horizontally extending ear directly pivotally connected to the second ear of said arm section and a mirror-supporting portion adapted for attachment to a mirror and pivotable into abutting relationship with respect to said vertically planar arm section and said second ear.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A mirror assembly comprising a pair of mirror mounting supports according to claim 1 carried by a wall-mounted cabinet at opposite sides thereof and carrying wing mirrors.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

A mirror assembly according to claim 2 including a cabinet mirror mounted between said wing mirrors.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

A mirror assembly according to claim 3 in which said cabinet mirror is pivotally mounted at one edge thereof.

### Claim 5

A mirror mounting support comprising a pair of vertically planar arm sections vertically spaced from each other and provided at their opposite ends with horizontal, first and second ears extending oppositely and normal to the plane of said arm section, a reinforcing strut connecting said sections, a pair of mounting brackets each having a horizontally extending ear directly pivotally connected to one of said first ears of said arm sections and an anchor portion adapted for attachment to an end of a wall-mounted frame so that the ears of said mounting brackets extend laterally beyond said frame end, a pair of mirror support brackets each having a horizontally extending ear directly pivotally connected to one of said second ears of said arm sections and a mirror-supporting portion adapted for attachment to a mirror and pivotable into abutting relationship with respect to said vertically planar arm sections and said second ears.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

A mirror assembly comprising a pair of mirror mounting supports according to claim 5 carried by a wall-mounted cabinet at opposite sides thereof and carrying wing mirrors.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

A mirror assembly according to claim 6 including a cabinet mirror mounted between said wing mirrors.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

A mirror assembly according to claim 7 in which said cabinet mirror is pivotally mounted at one edge thereof.
