Abstract
An adjustable telescoping mirror is disclosed which may be secured to a surface such as a wall or mirror secured to a wall. The adjustable mirror includes a base having four suction cups arranged in two rows which are parallel to the ground when the base is secured to the wall. A telescoping rod is secured to the base by a first coupling which is located below the suction cups when the base is secured to the wall. The mirror is secured to the other end of the telescoping rod by a second coupling. The couplings have sufficient friction to support the weight of the mirror when it is extended and placed in a desired location, but do not prevent the user from easily moving the mirror as desired. The two rows of suction cups, and their locations above the first coupling, resist forces created by the mirror when it is extended which tend to pull the mirror away from the wall. The location of the first coupling is close to the lower edge of the base so that the device is compact when contracted and folded.
