However, in the case of the mirror mounting structure disclosed in JP-A-8-56793, a dedicated mirror mounting body having a spare screw receiving boss is required, and the mirror mounting structure is not limited. There has been a problem that the number of replacements is limited to the number of spare screw receiving bosses. In addition, since the mirror is directly pressed down by the holder and attached, there is a problem that when the mirror is deformed, a force is applied to the mirror and the mirror may be broken.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems. In other words, it is a mirror mounting structure to a wall such as a bathroom or a washroom, and it is excellent in design and can be replaced many times without using a special mirror mounting body,
Another object of the present invention is to provide a mirror mounting structure in which the mirror is not broken even if the mirror mounting body such as a bathroom wall has a certain deformation.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mirror mounting structure comprising a fixing tool and a fixing tool cover for covering the fixing tool. A fixing portion having a locking piece extending downward at a substantially right angle to the upper side, and a fixing portion having a mounting hole. The fixing device cover has a fitting portion that fits into a fitted portion of the upper side of the fixing device. An upper side, a front wall portion extending downward at a substantially right angle from the upper side end, and a mirror holding piece having a spring elasticity at a lower end portion of the front wall portion. Fix the fixture, place the mirror between the fixing piece of the fixing tool and the mirror mounting body, insert the mirror holding piece of the fixing tool cover between the mirror and the fixing piece of the fixing tool, and fit the fixing tool cover. Attach the fixture cover to the fixture by fitting the mating part to the fitting part of the fixture, and fix it Cover - mounting against a mirror in the mirror mount in the mirror retainer piece.

In the mirror mounting structure according to the first aspect of the present invention, after the fixing tool is mounted at a predetermined position of the mirror mounting body such as a bathroom wall with a screw, the mirror is connected to the locking piece of the fixing tool and the mirror mounting body. Install in between. Next, the mirror is attached by inserting the mirror holding piece between the locking piece of the fixture and the surface of the mirror, and fitting the fitting portion of the fixture cover to the fitted portion of the fixture. If the fixing device cover is mounted, the head of the screw to which the fixing device is mounted is covered with the fixing device cover and cannot be seen, resulting in a mounting structure excellent in design. Since the fixture can be attached to any place where it can be attached with a screw, a dedicated mirror attachment is not required. Since the mirror is mounted by pressing against the mirror mounting body with the spring elasticity of the mirror pressing piece of the fixing cover, the mirror can be removed by removing the fixing cover. In other words, the fixture cover can be removed by removing the fitting portion from the fitting portion of the fixture, so that the mirror can be replaced many times. In addition, since the mirror retainer has spring elasticity, even if the mirror mounting body is deformed to some extent, the deformation is absorbed by the mirror retainer and no large force is applied to the mirror, so the mirror may be broken. Absent.
