UNITED STATES SHERMAN HARROLD, F HARTFORD CITY, INDIANA.

WRIST MIRROR.

Application filed November 19, 1921. Serial No. 516,409.

To all whom z't may concern.'

Be it known that I, SHERMAN HARROLD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hartford City, in the county of Blackford and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wrist Mirrors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is a novel article which I term a wrist mirror and the object of the invention is to provide a device which may be worn upon the wrist at all times and will be attractive in appearance and furnish the wearer with a small mirror capable of use for all purposes for which any mirror may be used. The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings and will be hereinafter fully set forth.

In the drawings- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a wrist mirror embodying my invention;

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same. y

In carrying out my invention, I employ a base block 1 which may be of any preferred material and may be given any desired configuration. The under side of the base block is dish'ed, as shown at 2, so that it will fit comfortably upon the wrist without irritating the same and the edges of the base block are preferably beveled, as shown at 3, so as to impart an attractive appearance to the block and also reduce wear upon the securing strap or ribbon. Openings 4 are formed through the edge portions of the base block to provide ventllation and prevent perspiration accumulating excessively beneath the base block upon the wearers wrist. The outer,a side of the base block is preferably fiat, as indicated at 5, and upon the said flat outer face of the base block I. place a backing 6 which may be of any desired material but preferably will be of metal. This backing may be given any desired outline and in the drawing is shown as octagonal, although it may be circular, elliptical, or of any other preferred shape. In the underside of the backing and extending longitudinally of the base block is a groove or passage 7 throughA which the securing strap or ribbon 8 is 50 passed, the said strap or ribbon lying upon the base block, as clearly shown in Fig. 2, and being equipped with a buckle 9 at oneend of any desired formation to be engaged by the free end of the strap beneath the wearers wrist so as to secure the article in place. The mirror 10 is lplaced directly against the outer face of the backing 6 and is held thereto by an over-hanging rim 11 through which and the backing rivets 12 are 60 inserted to secure the rim and the backing to the base block. The rim 11 and the backing 6 may be embellished with any desired surface ornamentation so that an attractive article will be produced and the device may 05 vcover will be yieldably held in either, the

closed or the open position.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it'will be seen that I have provided an 80 exceedingly simple device which may be worn without discomfort and which will not be so readily lost as the mirrors which are now commonly carried in purses.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. An article of the character described comprising a base block, a backing secured upon the outer side of the base block, a mirror resting upon the backing, a rim secured upon the outer surface of the backing and overhanging the edge of the mirror,and a retaining strap passin between the backing and the base block an over the edges of the base block.

2. A device of the character set forth comprising a base block, a backing secured upon the base block and provided with a longitudinal groove in its face opposed to the base block, aretaining strap passing through said groove and over the edges of the base block, and a mirror carried by said backing.

3. An article of the character set forth comprising a base block adapted to t to the wrist of a wearer means for retaining said base block upon t e wearers wrist, a back- SHERMAN HARROLD. [L 5.]
