Abstract
A mirror for use in a steamy environment such as a shower stall. The mirror has a recess for holding a cylindrical can of shaving cream while exposing half of the can for easy grasping. Either a magnet or straps may be used to hold the can in the recess. A water channel has a push button valve for controlling water flow. The stream of flowing water equalizes the temperature of the mirror with the surrounding environment. A fitting at the bottom of the mirror may be turned in order to direct a stream of water in any suitable direction to wash away shaving debris from a razor. The water supply for the mirror may be obtained from an existing shower head supply pipe and may be diverted exclusively to the mirror, so that when the mirror is in use, water flows only when requested by the user.
Claims22
A mirror and caddy for use in steamy environments, said mirror and caddy comprising:
- a mirror and a frame surrounding said mirror, said frame having a channel for receiving water, conveying said water past said mirror, and exiting said water from said frame, said channel having an inlet near the top of said frame and an exit near the bottom of said frame;
- said channel having means for directing a stream of water onto a surface of a mirror in order to equalize the temperature of said mirror with the temperature of the surroundings;
- stream diverting means at the channel exit for directing water leaving said channel in a selected direction;
- said frame having a recess in which a can may set with a portion of the can projecting outwardly from the frame for easy grasping;
- a shelf on the bottom of said mirror, said shelf having an area formed thereon to fit into said frame recess in order to receive and support a portion of a surface of said can, and to receive a hanging razor;
- and
- holding means for securing said can while it is disposed in said recess.
A mirror and caddy for use in steamy environments, said mirror and caddy comprising:
- a mirror and a frame surrounding said mirror, said frame having a channel for receiving water, conveying said water past said mirror, and exiting said water from said frame;
- said channel having means for directing a stream of water onto a surface of a mirror in order to equalize the temperature of said mirror with the temperature of the surroundings;
- said frame having a recess in which a can may set with a portion of the can projecting outwardly from the frame for easy grasping;
- a shelf on the bottom of said mirror, said shelf having an area formed thereon to fit into said frame recess in order to receive and support a portion of a surface of said can, and to receive a hanging razor;
- and
- a magnet in said frame adjacent said can for securing said can in said recess.
A mirror and caddy for use in steamy environments, said mirror and caddy comprising:
- a mirror and a frame surrounding said mirror, said frame having a channel for receiving water, conveying said water past said mirror, and exiting said water from said frame;
- said channel having means for directing a stream of water onto a surface of a mirror in order to equalize the temperature of said mirror with the temperature of the surroundings;
- said frame having a recess in which a can may set with a portion of the can projecting outwardly from the frame for easy grasping;
- a shelf on the bottom of said mirror, said shelf having an arc formed thereon to fit into said frame recess in order to receive and support a portion of a surface of said can, and to receive a hanging razor;
- and
- a strap having fastening means fitting around a can on said shelf for securing said can in said recess.
A mirror comprising a frame having a vertically extending semi-cylindrical recess for receiving approximately half of a cylindrical can while exposing the remaining approximately half of the can for easy grasping;
- means at the bottom of said recess for supporting the weight of said can, means for capturing said can while supported in said recess;
- a water channel extending from an inlet near the top of said frame, and around said frame to an exit location of said frame near the bottom of said frame, at least one exit between said inlet and said exit of said frame for spraying water onto said mirror for equalizing the temperature thereof to the surrounding environment;
- and stream diverting means near the bottom of said frame for directing water leaving said channel in a selected direction.
A frame comprising a water channel in said frame extending from an inlet to an outlet and surrounding at least part of said frame, a valve in said channel for controlling the flow of water therethrough, a mirror in said frame and positioned to receive a spray of water for heating a surface of said mirror to the temperature of said water, a semi-cylindrical recess in said frame for receiving one half of a cylindrical can holding means for securing said can in said recess while enabling an easy grasping and removal of said can from said recess, and means on said frame for supporting at least one razor.
A mirror and caddy comprising:
- a mirror and a frame at least partially surrounding said mirror;
- a water channel in said frame extending from an inlet to an outlet, said channel surrounding at least part of said mirror;
- means in said water channel for spraying water onto said mirror in order to equalize the temperature of said mirror to the surrounding environment;
- means located at the inlet of said channel for admitting water into said channel;
- stream diverting means at the outlet of said channel for directing water leaving said channel in a selected direction;
- and
- a recess formed in said frame in which a can may set.
