Abstract
A mirror tilt mechanism is provided for tilting a mirror assembly to a predetermined angle with respect to a vertical axis of the wall surface upon a relatively minor force being placed on the bottom portion of the mirror assembly. This mirror tilt mechanism includes a bracket member for mounting the mirror tilt mechanism to the wall surface and an arm member for engaging the mirror assembly to be tilted. This arm member is pivotally mounted to the bracket member such that the arm member is pivotally movable between a first position, wherein the mirror is supported in a generally vertical orientation with respect to the vertical axis of the wall surface, and a second position, wherein the mirror is supported at a predetermined angle with respect to the vertical angle of the wall surface such that the mirror is angled generally downwardly. In this manner, the mirror is 'accessible' for use by handicapped individuals.
