| 20090257140 | MOUNTING STRUCTURE FOR A MIRROR ASSEMBLY - A mirror assembly mountable to a wall includes a mirror platform having a front surface and a rear surface, a chassis engageable with the mirror platform to define a mirror assembly interior, at least one electrical component disposed within the mirror assembly interior, and a mounting structure. The mounting structure includes a support member mounted to one of the rear surface of the mirror platform and the chassis and a hanger member mounted to the other of the rear surface of the mirror platform and the chassis. The hanger member is removably securable on the support member to mount the mirror platform to the chassis. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090250586 | MIRROR WITH LOCKABLE MOUNTING SYSTEM - A mirror assembly includes a mirror and a hanger assembly secured to the mirror. The hanger assembly has a hanger fitting that defines a plurality of apertures, and a locking element that is slidably coupled to the hanger fitting to be movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The mirror assembly further includes a chassis having a plurality of support members sized and positioned to engage the plurality of apertures in the hanger fitting. When the locking element is in the locked position, the plurality of support members are prevented from disengaging the hanger fitting. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090231836 | MIRROR WITH ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY FOR DUAL LIGHT SOURCES - A mirror assembly includes a mirror and a light fixture configured to be releasably coupled to the mirror.
