Abstract

A mirroring device having a housing, a mirroring assembly, an adjustable illuminator and an actuator is provided. The housing has a light transmissive cover. The mirroring assembly is disposed at the housing, the mirroring assembly has a display surface and the display surface exposes the outer housing, and the light transmissive cover surrounds the mirroring assembly. The adjustable illuminator is disposed in the housing corresponding to the light transmissive cover, the adjustable illuminator has a bracket, the bracket surrounds the mirroring assembly, at least one illumination component and at least one corresponding pivotal plate are arranged on the bracket, and the pivotal plate could pivot to change projecting direction of the illumination component. The actuator has a pusher connected to the pivotal plate for pushing the pivotal plate to pivot and thereby alter the projecting direction of the illumination component and focus position of the illumination component.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mirroring device, comprising:
a housing comprising a light transmissive cover;
a mirroring assembly arranged on the housing and comprising a display surface, the display surface being exposed on the housing, and the mirroring assembly being surrounded by the light transmissive cover;
an adjustable illuminator accommodated in the housing corresponding to the light transmissive cover, the adjustable illuminator comprising a bracket, the mirroring assembly is surrounded by the bracket, at least one illumination component and at least one pivotal plate corresponding to the illumination component being arranged on the bracket, the pivotal plate being rotatable for altering a projecting direction of the illumination component; and
an actuator comprising a pusher connected with the pivotal plate for pushing the pivotal plate to rotate.

2. The mirroring device according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator comprises an operating member, a slope is formed on one of the operating member and the pusher, the other of the operating member and the pusher is pressed by the slope, the pivotal plate is pushed to rotate by the operating member when the operating member is moved according to the pusher.

3. The mirroring device according to claim 2 , wherein the slope is formed on the operating member, the pusher is pivotally connected to the pivotal plate and the slope is pressed by the pusher.

4. The mirroring device according to claim 3 , wherein the light transmissive cover is circular ring-shaped and thereby being able to rotate around the bracket and be the operating member, the slope is arranged on an internal surface of the light transmissive cover, the slope is rotated by the light transmissive cover to push the pusher when the light transmissive cover is rotated and the pivotal plate is further rotated.

5. The mirroring device according to claim 3 , wherein the operating member is a screw rod arranged in the housing and is rotatable, the slope is formed on teeth of the screw rod, the slope is rotated by the screw rod to push the pusher when the screw rod is rotated, and the pivotal plate is further rotated.

6. The mirroring device according to claim 2 , wherein the slope is formed on the pusher, the operating member is arranged in the housing and movable, and the slope is pressed by the operating member.

7. The mirroring device according to claim 2 , wherein the pivotal plate is connected with an elastic member for pushing the pivotal plate to rotate and the pusher is thereby pushed toward the operating member.

8. The mirroring device according to claim 2 , wherein the slope is disposed oblique related to the display surface.

9. The mirroring device according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustable illuminator comprises a plurality of pivotal plates, the pivotal plates are arranged surrounding the mirroring assembly, and each pivotal plate is hooked with another adjacent pivotal plate, the respective pivotal plates hooked with each other are rotatable and interlocked with each other.

10. The mirroring device according to claim 9 , wherein a couple of flanges are respectively protruded from opposite edges of each pivotal plate, and each of the flanges is hooked with adjacent flange on the adjacent pivotal plate.

11. The mirroring device according to claim 10 , wherein the respective flanges of each pivotal plate are arranged deviated from each other and respectively toward two surfaces of the pivotal plate, and each flange is stacked and hooked with another flange on another adjacent pivotal plate.

12. The mirroring device according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator comprises the pusher connected with the pivotal plate and penetrating the housing.

13. The mirroring device according to claim 1 , wherein a pivot shaft is extended from the pivotal plate and the pivot shaft is pivotally connected to the bracket, and the pusher is extended along the pivot shaft from the pivotal plate and penetrates the housing.

14. The mirroring device according to claim 1 , wherein the pivotal plate is pivotally connected with the housing by a pivot shaft, and the pusher is extended along the pivot shaft from the pivotal plate and penetrates the housing.

15. The mirroring device according to claim 1 , wherein the mirroring assembly comprises a reflector, the reflector is surrounded by the light transmissive cover, the display surface for reflecting and displaying a mirror image is formed on the reflector.

16. The mirroring device according to claim 1 , wherein the mirroring assembly comprises a lens and a display panel, the display panel is electrically connected to the lens, the display panel is surrounded by the light transmissive cover, the display surface is formed on the display panel for displaying an imaged caught by the lens, and the lens and the display surface are arranged toward the same direction.
