Mirror assembly and method of use
View Patent ↗A mirror assembly that includes a center post, and a mirror arm assembly connected to and movable with respect to the center post. The mirror arm assembly includes a mirror that is movable between a retracted position and a deployed position. The mirror arm assembly is movable between a stowed position and a use position. The mirror assembly can be positioned adjacent to or on an exercise apparatus so that a user can view themselves while exercising.
1. A mirror assembly comprising:
a center post,
a mirror arm assembly connected to the center post, wherein the mirror arm assembly includes a first mirror that is movable between a retracted position and a deployed position, wherein the mirror arm assembly is movable between a stowed position and a use position; wherein the center post is mounted on a base, and wherein the base includes rollers on a bottom thereof, wherein the first mirror includes at least a first extension member that is configured to maintain the first mirror in the deployed position, wherein the mirror arm assembly includes a container member, wherein in the retracted position, the first mirror is positioned in the container member in a rolled format, and wherein in the deployed position, the first mirror is positioned outside of the container member in a planar format, wherein the mirror assembly includes a second mirror arm assembly connected to the center post, wherein the second mirror arm assembly includes a second mirror that is movable between a retracted position and a deployed position, wherein the second mirror arm assembly is movable between a stowed position and a use position, wherein the second mirror arm assembly includes a second container member that houses the second mirror in a rolled format in the retracted position.
2. A method of using a reflective surface, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) obtaining the mirror assembly of claim 1 ,
(b) moving the first mirror from a retracted position to a deployed position, and
(c) viewing a reflection in the first mirror.
3. The method of claim 2 further including the step of moving the first mirror arm assembly from a stowed position to a use position prior to step (b).
4. The method of claim 2 further including the steps of moving the second mirror from a retracted position to a deployed position, and orienting the first mirror at a different angle than the second mirror.
5. The method of claim 4 further including the step of moving the second mirror arm assembly from a stowed position to a use position prior to moving the second mirror from the retracted position to the deployed position.
6. The method of claim 2 further comprising the step of positioning the mirror assembly adjacent an exercise apparatus.
