Abstract
A mirror installation suitable for mounting on a wall, and having a wall mounting plate including a reflector surface, a transparent reflector surface protection sheet, positioning units carried on the wall plate for positioning the transparent sheet over the reflector surface, and a sheet clamp or frame for attaching to the wall plate and overlying edges of the transparent sheet for clamping the transparent sheet to the wall plate over the reflector surface, with the frame and the transparent sheet removable and replaceable without disturbing the reflector surface.
Claims3
A mirror installation suitable for mounting on a wall, including in combination:
- a wall mounting plate including a reflective surface and having a perimeter flange;
- a transparent reflective surface protection sheet;
- positioning means carried on said wall plate for positioning said transparent sheet over said reflective surface of said wall plate;
- frame means for attaching to said wall plate and overlying edges of said transparent sheet for clamping said transparent sheet to said wall plate over said reflective surface, with said frame means and said transparent sheet removable and replaceable without disturbing said reflective surface;
- said frame means comprising a pan with a central opening for viewing said reflective surface and a rim having a first edge for clamping engagement with said transparent sheet and a second edge substantially perpendicular to said first edge for connection to said wall plate;
- said positioning means including a plurality of screw assemblies, each of said screw assemblies including a screw with a head and a nut, with said screws passing through said wall plate into said nuts, and with said screw heads providing said positioning means for said transparent sheet, and said screw assemblies further including washers between said transparent sheet and said reflective surface for providing a space therebetween and with said screw, washer and nut clamping said reflective surface in place on said wall mounting plate while permitting said frame means and protection sheet to be removed and replaced;
- and
