Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a built-in tool with a mirror that can be folded in a wall.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At the entrance of a condominium such as an apartment, the steps of the entrance and the corridor in the dwelling unit are separated by a frame material or the like, but their floor levels are almost the same height. General. Therefore, when wearing or taking off boots or high heels, tying shoelaces, letting children wear shoes, or when the elderly wear or take off footwear, it is not stable while standing, so if you sit down, I had to sit on the floor in the corridor inside the dwelling unit.
However, the action of sitting or standing in a corridor in a dwelling unit at the same level as the stepped portion generally imposes a heavy burden on the waist and the like.
In addition, when a child is allowed to sit on the floor, the mother must bend down or kneel down, and sitting on the floor while wearing boots or the like is an act of hesitation for women.

For this reason, a chair or the like is placed at the entrance,
Alternatively, apartments and the like in which stools are installed in advance have been proposed. However, the reality is that there is usually not enough space at the entrance, and when not in use, there is a problem that these chairs and stools (hereinafter referred to as stools) hinder people from coming in and out and getting things in and out.

[0004] In order to solve this problem, there has been proposed a stool structure in which the stool can be stored in a wall (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-308670). This seat structure is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 4, the seat 1 is composed of a seat 1, a leg 2, a guide bar 3, and a housing 4. When stored, the seat 1 and the leg 2 are folded and housed in the housing 4, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the leg 2 is pulled out by putting a finger on a concave portion 5 provided at the lower portion of the leg 2, and the seat 1 and the leg 2 are held at a substantially right angle by the guide bar 3 for use. Has become. Further, in this stool structure, the case where the leg 2 is omitted and the lower surface of the seat 1 is in contact with a part of the housing 4 and held horizontally is also disclosed.

[0005]

However, the above-mentioned conventional storable seat structure has the following problems. (1) If the legs 2 are omitted, or if there are legs, if they are not held vertically correctly, the load (eg, human weight) acting on the seats cantilever state (cantilever state). , And a large bending moment acts on the bearing of the seat 1. In this state, even when the leg 2 is set vertically at one end by the guide bar 3, the person's leg hits the lower end of the seat,
Occurs easily. Therefore, the support portion (rotating portion) of the seat portion 1
And the housing 4 connected to the housing 4 needs to be strong enough to support at least the weight of a person in a cantilevered state. Further, in order to support the housing 4 so as to endure the large bending moment, the wall itself for fixing the housing needs to be strong. Therefore, such a wall structure needs to be thicker and stronger than an ordinary partition plate. Therefore, in order to adopt such a stool structure, it is necessary to carry out a design in which the portion is sufficiently reinforced in advance. For example, in the case of installation by renovation or the like, a large-scale remodeling work including a wall structure is required.

In other words, the conventional stool described above is
Since a structure that can withstand at least a cantilever load when a person is sitting is required, the structural members are enlarged to support the wall that supports the rotatable stool as well as the rotatable stool. The reality was that it took time. Therefore, in the case of new construction, it is possible to reinforce it in advance, but the wall becomes thicker, and when retrofitting with a reform, etc., not only the remodeling cost is higher than the manufacturing cost of the stool (stool) itself, but also the exposure There was a problem that the part was large and easily obstructed, and the remodeling took considerable time and effort.

(2) To pull out the leg and set it vertically, it is necessary to pull out the lower part of the leg 2 and push this part down near the floor. Therefore, in order to set the stool in the use state, the user needs to bend down to the same level as the corridor. Further, in order to avoid the above-mentioned cantilever state (cantilever state), it is necessary to accurately set the leg 2 vertically, but this determination is difficult for a child. Therefore, the above-mentioned conventional stool has to be set by an adult having sufficient judgment. On the other hand, at the entrance, it's good to have a look at your grooming and checking before you go out, but to mount such a large mirror, you can attach it to the surface of a normal partition plate and the wall will not bear the weight There were many problems.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems. That is, the object of the present invention is:
A large bending moment does not act on the wall, only a downward load acts on the wall itself.Thus, the wall of the mounting part can be made thin, and it can be easily installed with a simple modification even when remodeling, and it is impossible for children and women Another object of the present invention is to provide a built-in tool with a mirror that can be set or stored in a state of use without fail, and further provides a spacious entrance to the entrance with a mirror, and can be used to prepare a grooming when going out.

[0009]

According to the present invention, a pair of frame members (18) installed vertically on a wall horizontally spaced apart from each other, and a built-in frame attached to a lower portion of the frame members. A stool (10) and a figure (2
0), wherein a vertical load generated from the built-in tool and the appearance is received by a frame member, and a built-in tool with a mirror is provided.

[0010] According to the configuration of the present invention, since the vertical load generated from the built-in stool and the appearance is attached to the frame material so as to act downward, the bending moment does not act on the wall surface and the frame is relatively thin. Materials can support the built-in stool and appearance. Also, since the built-in tool (10) is provided, it can be stored in the storage position when not in use to prevent a person from getting in and out and getting in and out of things. Furthermore, the appearance (20) is provided, so that the mirror can be used to give a spacious appearance to the entrance, and to help the appearance of the outings.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the built-in stool (10) has a leg member (12) extending in a vertical direction and a storage position which always holds the leg member parallel to a wall surface and is close to the wall. A guide member (14) for movably guiding between the guide member and a use position away from the wall, and a seat member (16) attached to the guide member, wherein the lower end of the leg member is a floor surface in the use position. , And the upper surface of the seat member becomes substantially horizontal.

According to this structure, the guide member (14) guides the leg member (12) movably between the storage position close to the wall and the use position away from the wall. It can be stored in the storage position to prevent people from getting in and out and getting in and out of the place. In addition, since the leg member is always kept parallel to the wall surface (that is, vertically) by the guide member, a load (for example, the weight of a person) is imposed on the seat member (16) by mistake at an intermediate position between the storage position and the use position. However, only the lower end of the leg member (12) moves to the use position where it contacts the floor surface, and no large bending moment acts on the wall surface, and only a downward load acts on the wall itself.
Further, since the leg member (12) is always held vertically, there is no need to reach to the lower part of the leg member and push this part down to the vicinity of the floor, and it is sufficient to operate near the upper end of the leg member. Therefore, there is no need to forcibly bend the waist, and even a child or a woman can operate it easily. Similarly, since the leg members are always held vertically, there is no need to confirm the leg members, and even a child without judgment can safely operate the leg members.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the guide member (14) has upper and lower link members (14a, 14b) of the same length, and both ends of each link member are
It is attached to the wall and the leg member respectively at the same distance D in the vertical direction so as to be rotatable around a horizontal axis, thereby constituting a parallel link mechanism.

With this configuration, the parallel link mechanism allows
The leg member (12) can always be held parallel to the wall with a simple mechanism. Further, according to this configuration, even if a load is applied to the seat member (16) at an intermediate position between the storage position and the use position by mistake, the leg member (12) is maintained while the parallel link is held.
Simply moves to the use position where the lower end of the is in contact with the floor. Therefore, on the wall where one side of the parallel link is fixed,
Since only a downward load acts and the bending moment does not essentially act, it can be installed as is on a normal partition wall,
Requires little reinforcement.

It is preferable that the vehicle further comprises a vertical fixing member (14c) fixed to the pair of frame members (18) and pivotally connecting the upper and lower link members (14a, 14b).

Since only a downward load acts on the wall surface and essentially no bending moment acts on it, this structure fixes the frame member (18) to the ceiling and floor when embedding it in a wall in a new construction. If you do not need to provide special reinforcement and do not embed in the wall,
It is sufficient to attach a frame material to the surface of the wall, and in any case, it can be easily constructed. In addition, even in the case of remodeling, when not embedding in the wall, of course, even when embedding in the wall, no extra reinforcement is required for renovating the wall equivalent to the width of the mirrored built-in tool of the present invention, so it is easy. Can be built.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same reference numerals are given to the common parts in the respective drawings, and the duplicate description will be omitted. FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing a use state of a built-in tool with a mirror according to the present invention, and FIG.
It is sectional drawing in a line. Note that the left half of FIG. 2 shows the used state and the right half shows the housed state.

As shown in FIG. 1, a built-in tool 10 with a mirror according to the present invention comprises a leg member 12, a guide member 14, and a seat member 16.

The leg member 12 comprises an elongated frame 12a extending in the vertical direction, and a decorative plate 12b (for example, art wood plywood) fixed to the surface (left side in the figure). A contact member 13 is attached to the lower end of the frame 12a so as not to damage the floor 6 or the like. Also, frame 1
A connection hole is provided in the upper part of 2a at a distance D in the vertical direction, and a link member described later is attached thereto. In this figure, a plurality (at least two) of the leg members 12 are provided in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG.
Are integrally attached to the plurality of leg members 12. Further, a finger hook 12c for pulling out the decorative board 12b is provided at an upper portion or an intermediate portion thereof.

The guide member 14 includes upper and lower link members 14a and 14b having the same length and a vertical fixing member 14c for connecting the upper and lower link members 14a and 14b to a wall. In this example, a pair of frame members 1
8 are vertically (up-down direction) on the wall with a space for accommodating the leg members 12 in a horizontal direction (perpendicular to the paper surface in this figure).
Installed in The frame member 18 has a lower end in contact with the floor surface 6 and supports a load acting in the vertical direction on the floor surface. As shown in this figure, a mirror (mirror) is attached to the upper part of the built-in stool 10 of the present invention. .

As shown in FIG. 2, the vertical fixing member 14c
Are provided on the left and right in this example (only one is shown in the figure), and are fixed to the pair of frame members 18 with bolts or the like. The vertical fixing member 14c is provided with a connecting hole at the same distance D as the connecting hole of the frame 12a in the vertical direction, and the upper and lower link members 14a and 14b are respectively attached to the holes.

Both ends A and B of the upper and lower link members 14a and 14b are separated by the same distance D in the vertical direction from the vertical fixing member 14c and the frame 12a of the leg member 12, respectively.
Are connected to each other by a pin or the like so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis of the pin, thereby forming a parallel link mechanism. Therefore, the upper and lower link members 14a, 1
By vertically holding the ends A, A of the link 4b by the vertical fixing member 14c, the leg members attached to the other ends B, B of the link members 14a, 14b can always be held parallel to the wall surface.

The seat member 16 is made of a decorative board (for example, art wood plywood), and is fixed to the upper surface of the upper link member 14a. In the use position, the upper surface of the seat member 16 is substantially horizontal, and a person can sit thereon. In the storage position shown in FIG.
Is stored inside the leg member 12.

According to the configuration of the present invention described above, the leg member 12 is movably guided by the guide member 14 between the storage position close to the wall and the use position away from the wall.
When not in use, it can be stored in the storage position to prevent people from getting in and out and getting in and out of objects. Further, since the leg member 12 is always held parallel to the wall surface (that is, vertically) by the parallel link mechanism of the guide member 14, the load (for example, the weight of the person) is erroneously applied to the seat member 16 at an intermediate position between the storage position and the use position. ) Only moves to the use position where the lower end of the leg member 12 contacts the floor surface, and no bending moment acts on the wall surface, and only a downward load acts on the wall itself.

Further, since the leg member 12 is always held vertically, it is not necessary to reach to the lower part of the leg member 12 and push this part down to the vicinity of the floor, and a finger hook 12c provided near the upper end of the leg member 12 is provided. Just pull it out. Therefore, the operation of forcibly bending down the waist is not required, and the elderly can easily operate by themselves. Similarly, since the leg member 12 is always held vertically, it is not necessary to confirm the leg member 12 and even a child without judgment can safely operate the leg member 12.

Further, since the guide member 14 is constituted by the parallel link mechanism, the leg member 12 can be always held parallel to the wall surface with a simple mechanism. Further, even if a load is applied to the seat member 16 by mistake between the storage position and the use position, the lower end of the leg member 12 simply moves to the use position where the lower end of the leg member 12 contacts the floor surface while the parallel link is held. In addition, only a downward load acts on the wall surface to which the one end A of the parallel link is fixed. Therefore, it can be installed on a normal thin partition wall as it is, and hardly requires reinforcement.

Further, a pair of frame members 18 vertically installed on the wall with a horizontal space therebetween, and a vertical fixing member 14c fixed to the frame members 18 and pivotally connecting the upper and lower link members 14a, 14b. With this construction, only a downward load acts on the wall surface. Therefore, in the case of a new construction, when embedding in the wall, the wall may be constructed after fixing the frame member 18 to the ceiling and floor, and special reinforcement When it is not necessary to apply the frame to the inside of the wall, a frame member may be attached to the surface of the wall, and it can be easily constructed in any case.

Next, the mirror mounting structure will be described.
A frame member 18a is provided in a horizontal direction between a pair of frame members 18 installed vertically on a wall with an interval, and both ends thereof are fixed to the frame member 18. The lower end of the mirror 20 is supported by the frame member 18a via a metal fitting (not shown) for preventing floating. That is, the vertical load is transmitted to the frame members 18 on both sides of the mirror via the frame members 18a.
Therefore, the Lauan plywood on the back side of the mirror 20 only needs to have the strength necessary to adjust the mirror entry / exit position and to attach a metal fitting for preventing the mirror from floating, and excessive reinforcement is required. do not do. Note that the mirror load may be supported by the frame member 18 by fixing both sides of the mirror with a clip and directly connecting the mirror to the frame member 18.

In addition, even in the case of remodeling, when not embedding in the wall, even when embedding in the wall, extra reinforcement is required for renovating the wall corresponding to the width of the built-in tool with a mirror of the present invention. No, so it can be easily constructed.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the above description, the built-in tool with a mirror of the present invention is incorporated in the wall surface, but it may be installed independently close to the wall.

[0031]

As described above, in the built-in tool with a mirror according to the present invention, a large bending moment does not act on the wall surface, and only a downward load acts on the wall itself.
The wall of the mounting part can be made thin, and it can be easily installed with a simple modification at the time of renovation, even children and women can be set or accommodated in a reliable state without difficulty. It has an excellent effect that it can be used to prepare
