<p>SELF-SUPPORTED, ADJUSTABLE, CONDENSION-FREE SHOWER MIRROR : A condensation-free, self-supported shower mirror assembly is heated by water dispersed into a temperature-control space behind the mirror. The water is supplied by a supply tube connected from a showerhead pipe to a dispenser which disperses the heated water in either liquid or spray form, preferably from holes in a tube mounted in such temperature-control space. Also the tube acts as a gasket to prevent the heated water from leaking through the front of the mirror. The back surface of the mirror is thereby heated to raise the temperature of the front surface of the mirror sufficiently to eliminate water condensation thereon. In one version, mirror adjustment is accomplished through a single flex-joint, such as a hinge or a ball joint which is physically separated from the supply tube. In a preferred version, mirror adjustment is accomplished through a flex-arm which allows rotatable and translational movement. Preferably the supply tube is carried inside the flex-arm; the supply tube is mounted by friction fit in the ends of the flex-arm. The flex-arm is attached by break-away distal and proximal joints so that the parts will not be damaged in case of trauma.</p> |
