A resistance wire heating coil is surrounded by wafers of insulation and lies in 5 contact with the mirror. Leads pass down the handle to a plug and socket. The socket is in the battery compartment which allows the operator to unplug the handle and immerse the mirror and handle as a unit. The battery compartment has an integral switch for connecting the battery to the heating coil. The 3V rechargeable lithium battery maintains the lightweight mirror at 43*C. 1000 00 N 03 NN CCO Nw Nn LLL 00 LLL LLL
