Abstract
A wall-mounted mirror which can be convectively and radiatively heated to prevent fogging by a sheet heater separated from the mirror interior surface by an air gap. The mirror is electrically insulated and grounded to prevent electric shock.
Claims6
A wall-mounted mirror assembly comprising:
- a frame having generally planar, generally parallel top and bottom portions and generally planar, generally parallel left and right portions orthogonal to the top and bottom portions, the top, left, bottom and right portions determining a generally rectangular aperture;
- a mirror having an exterior surface and an interior surface with a lowermost portion, the surfaces generally parallel and bounded by top, left, bottom and right edges coated with a layer of electrically non-conductive material, the bottom edge and said lowermost portion closely received within and attached to a J-shaped metallic sheeting by a layer of electrically conductive adhesive, the interior surface circumferentially attached to the top, left, bottom and right frame portions;
- and
- a generally rectangular sheet heater comprising a blanket of a predetermined thickness with opposed electrically non-conductive first and second surfaces, and a bottom edge proximate to which are attached first and second electrical terminals, the blanket first surface separated by a preselected air gap from the mirror interior surface.
