Abstract
A vanity mirror with a pivotally mounted front cover that can be kept opened and closed via a coil spring force. A coil spring and a sliding piece are installed in the main casing of the vanity mirror, and the coil spring presses the sliding piece against a mounting lug of the front cover, thus the pivot-opened front cover is kept opened by the coil spring and the pivot-closed front cover is kept closed by the coil spring.
