Assignee:

Prince Corporation - Holland MI

International Classification:

B60J 300

US Classification:

296 972

Abstract:

A vehicle accessory such as a visor includes a body with a vanity mirror frame and mirror mounted thereto. A pair of opposed covers are slidably coupled to the mirror frame and are coupled together such that movement of one cover between an open and closed position effects the movement of the remaining cover in an opposite direction. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the inwardly facing ends include external illumination sources which abut one another when the covers are closed to provide a point light source for the interior illumination of the vehicle when the visor is in a lowered use position and which is directable by movement of the visor for providing illumination for the vehicle occupants. When the covers are moved to an open position, the illumination sources are spaced-apart on opposite edges of the mirror and provide illumination for the face of the user of the illuminated vanity mirror facilitating use under low, ambient light conditions.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

A garment hanger support includes a housing for storably receiving a hanger support rod and a pair of spaced arms pivotally attached to opposite ends of the support rod. Each of the pivot arms have ends remote from the pivot mounting of each of the arms to the support rod which are pivotally and slideably mounted within the housing such that the support rod can be moved downwardly while the pivot arms at either end extend outwardly and downwardly forming a generally U-shaped structure when in an extended position. For storage, the support rod is pushed upwardly and the ends of the pivot arms remote from the hanger support slide inwardly and pivot for overlapping contracted storage within the housing with the lower surface of the hanger support rod enclosing the space into which the pivot arms are stored. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the ends of the pivot arms are intercoupled to one another for synchronous movement between a substantially horizontal collapsed stored position and a substantially vertical extended use position. In a preferred embodiment, a rack and pinion structure is used to synohronize the motion of the arms.
