Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a cosmetic pedestal mirror,
and more particularly to a cosmetic pedestal mirror that has no
weighting blocks and needs no polishing and electroplating
processes in manufacture.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Art
[0004] Conventional cosmetic mirror is suspend to the wall or
combined with a vanity to help users to check their appearance.
Thus, the conventional cosmetic mirror is immovable and can not be
adjusted in angles. Another conventional movable cosmetic mirror is
a single piece embedded in a cosmetic case and has to be held by
hands when using. Therefore, it is troublesome and inconvenient in
use and the holding hand will be tired or numb without other
supporting after a spell. Meanwhile, trimming the cloth and face by
only one hand is more difficult than by two hands.
[0005] To overcome foregoing drawbacks, a modified desk cosmetic
mirror as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is provided. The desk cosmetic
mirror substantially comprises a base 10 mounted with an erecting
connecting rod 20, an arc mirror frame 30 mounted on the connecting
rod 20, and a dual-side round mirror 40 pivotally mounted on the
mirror frame 30. Wherein, the base 10 is a thin outer shell 101
made of metallic material and having a weighing block 102 wrapped
with a plastic coating layer. The connecting rod 20 has a lower end
extending a bolt 201 with a small diameter that penetrates through
holes 1011, 1021 on the outer shell 101 and the weighing block 102
in cooperating with cushion A and nut B for securing to combine the
connecting rod 20 and the base 10. Moreover, the outer shell 1 has
a bottom combined with a bottom board 103 for closing and the
bottom board 103 has a fixing hole 1031 defined at its center to
allow the bolt 201 of the connecting rod 20 penetrating
therethrough to cooperate with another nut C for securing to make
the bottom board 103 and the outer shell 101 securely combined.
Additionally, a slip-proof pad 102 is attached to an outer surface
of the bottom board 10 to keep the cosmetic mirror being placed
stably.
[0006] However, the later conventional cosmetic mirror still has
some drawbacks in actual practice that need to be resolved:
[0007] 1. The base 10 needs to combine with the weighing block 102
and its surface needs polishing and electroplating process so that
manufacturing cost is high.
[0008] 2. Except the waste water generated by the electroplating
process caused by the treatment of the out shell 101 of the base
10, the outer shell 101 and the weighing block 102 of the base 10
is highly difficult in recycling when the cosmetic mirror is
damaged. Therefore, the dumped cosmetic mirror causes more
environmental problems.
[0009] 3. Although the outer shell 101 of the base 10 is treated by
the electroplating process, it still has the rusting problem after
a period of time.
[0010] If the base 10 is made of wood, the durability is poor and
becomes rotten soon.
[0011] 4. The base 10 has no variety in appearance so that it is
monotonous and the decorative efficiency and quality is
increased.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0012] One main objective of the present invention is to provide a
cosmetic pedestal mirror that has adjusted weight of a glass disk
hood served as base to lower the gravity center to eliminate
weighing block and needs no polishing and electroplating treatments
to reduce the manufacturing cost and increase economic
efficiency.
[0013] Another main objective of the present invention is to
provide a cosmetic pedestal mirror that uses the glass disk hood
without electroplating coating to replace metal outer shell so that
the base can be recycled after disassembled and caused no
environmental problems when the cosmetic pedestal mirror is
damaged.
[0014] Still another main objective of the present invention is to
provide a cosmetic pedestal mirror that uses the glass disk hood to
replace the conventional metal outer shell with the weighing block
so that the base does not deteriorate to obtain better utility.
[0015] Further another main objective of the present invention is
to provide a cosmetic pedestal mirror that has the glass disk hood
inlayed with decorative pieces and coated with a decorative layer
on the interior surface both can be veried in different
combinations to increase appearance variety and thus to increase
the decorative and quality efficiency.
[0016] To achieve the foregoing objectives, the cosmetic pedestal
mirror comprises:
[0017] a base with a connecting rod erecting thereon, a mirror
frame mounted on the connecting rod, and a mirror pivotally mounted
within the mirror frame, wherein the connecting rod has a lower end
extending a small-diameter bolt to penetrate the base to cooperate
with a securing element for combination;
[0018] improvements of the cosmetic pedestal mirror are:
[0019] the base is composed of a glass disk hood with a bottom
combined with a bottom board for closing; an outer surface of the
bottom board is pasted with an slip-proof pad; an interior surface
of the glass disk hood is coated with a decorative coating layer;
and a through hole is defined at a center of the glass disk hood to
allow the small-diameter bolt on the lower end of the connecting
rod penetrating therethrough.
[0020] Further benefits and advantages of the present invention
will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed
description with appropriate reference to the accompanying
drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0028] A cosmetic pedestal mirror in accordance with the present
invention has a base composed of a glass disk hood with a thickness
combined with a bottom board for closing. The bottom board has an
outer surface pasted with a slip-proof pad. The glass disk hood has
an outer surface embedded with decorative pieces and an interior
surface coated with a decorative coating layer. The glass disk hood
has a through hole defined at center to allow a bolt with a small
diameter on a connecting rod penetrating and cooperating with a
securing element for fixing. Thereby, the cosmetic pedestal mirror
has reduced manufacturing cost and improved utility and appearance,
and needs no electroplating treatment to eliminate environmental
issue.
[0029] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, a preferred embodiment of the
cosmetic pedestal mirror comprises a base 1 mounted with an
erecting connecting rod 2, an arc mirror frame 3 mounted on the
connecting rod 2, and a dual-side round mirror 4 pivotally mounted
on the mirror frame 3. The base 1 comprises glass disk hood 11, a
bottom board 12, and a slip-proof pad 13. Wherein, the glass disk
hood 11 is shaped by mold and has a proper thinkness, particularly
an enhanced thickness, to obtain enough weight too keep the base
steady without weighing block. Particularly, the glass disk hood 11
has the enhanced thickness of 4.0 mm to 5.0 mm and an outer
diameter of 150 mm to provide 396 g in this preferred embodiment to
replace conventional iron base with 0.8 mm-1.0 mm thickness and 110
g weight in the same outer diameter and the conventional weighting
block with 200 g-250 g. The glass disk hood 11 has an outer surface
embedded with multiple decorative pieces 111 that is selectively
mono-color or multi-color. In practice, the decorative pieces 11
are made of glass pieces and glass marbles. Because the glass disk
hood 11 is shaped by high temperature melting to glass, the glass
pieces can be placed in the melted glass to combine during the
formation of the glass disk hood 11. The glass pieces are
selectively added with pigments and arranged into word forms or
patterns in the glass disk hood 11 to create more versatility. An
inter surface of the glass disk hood 11 is coated with a decorative
coating layer 112 and a through hole 113 is defined at a center of
the glass disk hood 11. The bottom board 12 is corresponding to the
bottom of the glass disk hood 11 in shape and has a fixing hole 121
defined at its center. The slip-proof pad 13 is also corresponding
to the bottom board 12 in shape. The connecting rod 2 has a lower
end extending a bolt 21 with a small diameter.
[0030] The small-diameter bolt 21 on the lower end of the
connecting rod 2 penetrates the through hole 113 on the glass disk
hood 11 to combine and cooperate with cushion A and nut B to
secure, thereby, the base 1 and the connecting rod 2 are assembled.
Then, the bottom board 12 is attached to the bottom of the glass
disk hood 11 to make the small-diameter bolt 2 of the connecting
rod 2 to penetrate through the fixing hole 121 on the bottom board
12 and then to combine with another nut C for securing to make the
bottom board 12 and the glass disk hood 11 combined securely.
Furthermore, the slip-proof pad 12 is attached to an outer surface
of the bottom board 12 to make the cosmetic pedestal mirror to
stable.
[0031] Moreover, the decorative piece 111 on the outer surface of
the glass disk hood 11 of the base 1, the mirror frame 3' and the
mirror 4' are arranged as shown in FIG. 6.
[0032] Additionally, the decorative pieces 111 on the outer surface
of the glass disk hood 11 of the base 1 are selectively arranged
into different patterns as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B to have better
variety.
[0033] According to above description of the structure of preferred
embodiment, the cosmetic pedestal mirror has the benefits listed in
below:
[0034] 1. Increased economic efficiency: By taking the weighed
glass disk hood 11, the base 1 has lowered gravity center and needs
no weighing block and no polishing and electroplating processes to
reduce the manufacturing cost.
[0035] 2. Environmental product: Because the glass disk hood 11
without electroplating coating replaces the conventional metal
outer shell 101 with the weighing block 102 so that the base 1 can
be recycled after disassembled and causes no environmental problems
when the cosmetic pedestal mirror is damaged.
[0036] 3. Utility: Because the glass disk hood 11 replaces the
conventional metal outer shell 101 with the weighing block 102, the
base 1 does not deteriorate to obtain better utility by the
non-rust property of glass.
[0037] 4. Excellent artistry: Because the glass disk hood 11 has
inlayed decorative pieces 111 and coated with a decorative coating
layer 112 on the interior surface both can be veried in different
combinations, the base 1 has increased appearance variety and
improved the decorative and quality efficiency.
[0038] Although this invention has been described in its preferred
form with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that
the present invention of the preferred form has been made only by
way of example and that numerous changes in the details of
construction and the combination and arrangement of parts any be
resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the
