Description

  The present invention relates to a mirror fixing bracket for fixing a mirror to a wash basin or a wall surface in a bathroom, and a mirror fixing structure using the same, and in particular, the mirror can be securely adhered and fixed to the wall surface, and The present invention relates to a mirror fixing bracket and a mirror fixing structure having an excellent design.

Conventionally, various configurations have been proposed for a structure for fixing a mirror to a washstand or a wall surface in a bathroom. For example, in Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 6, when the mirror 60 is fixed to the wall surface 70, the lower portion of the mirror 60 is fixed with a mirror receiving bracket 61 and covered with a lower cover 62. The upper part of the mirror 60 is fixed with a mirror pressing metal 63 and covered with an upper cover 64. A structure is disclosed in which a drain hole 65 is provided in the lower surface portion of the lower cover 62 and a space portion 66 is formed between the lower end surface of the mirror 60 and the lower cover 62.
According to this structure, the mounting strength of the mirror can be ensured and the mirror can be used safely, and the appearance of the mirror can be improved by arranging the cover, and the occurrence of corrosion on the mirror back surface can be prevented.

  However, since the mirror fixing structure according to the configuration of Patent Document 1 is not a structure in which the mirror 60 is pressed by a member having elasticity (for example, a spring), the problem that the adhesion of the mirror 60 to the wall surface 70 is not always good, and Since there are screws, metal fittings, and a cover between the mirror and the wall surface, there is a problem that a gap is generated between the mirror and the wall surface.

  In Patent Document 2, as shown in FIG. 7, a fixing tool 71 and a fixing cover 72 are integrally fixed to a wall surface 70, and spring elasticity of a mirror pressing piece 73 at the tip of the fixing cover 72 is used. Then, a structure has been proposed in which the mirror 60 is pressed against the wall surface 70 to attach the mirror and the wall surface in close contact.

However, in the mirror fixing structure according to the structure of Patent Document 2, spring elasticity is applied to the upper surface of the mirror 60 to fix the mirror and the wall surface in close contact, but the fixing tool 71 and the fixing cover 72 are integrated. However, there was a problem of increasing the size.

The mirror surface support piece 20 is provided to extend substantially at a right angle, and has a piece-like screw fixing portion 30 and a pair of wing pieces 40.

The mirror edge surface support portion 10 is formed of a plate-like piece whose lower surface contacts the upper surface edge of the mirror and supports the edge surface of the mirror.
The mirror edge surface support portion 10 is formed so that the center portion is slightly wider with respect to both sides, and a flat piece extending in the wide portion is bent at a substantially right angle, so that one of the mirror edge surface support portions 10 is The mirror surface support piece 20 whose inner surface supports the front upper end of the mirror is formed at the side end of the mirror.
The mirror surface support piece 20 is provided with a portion that is not continuous with the mirror edge surface support portion 10 at both ends thereof, and a holding portion 21 that is slightly bent inward at this portion is disposed, so that the upper surface of the mirror is surely secured by the spring action. The mirror is configured to prevent lateral displacement of the mirror while being pressed to improve adhesion to the wall surface.

The piece-like screw fixing portion 30 is formed of a rectangular piece that extends substantially perpendicular to the center of the other side end of the mirror edge support portion 10 and has a screw hole 31 for fixing to the wall surface.
The pair of wing pieces 40 and 40 are independent of the piece-like screw fixing portion 30 and form a corner slightly larger than a right angle with respect to the mirror edge support surfaces 10 on both sides of the piece-like screw fixing portion 30 (FIG. 1 ( see c)) each extended. Further, at each tip of the wing piece 40, a position of the bent portion 41 bent in the direction opposite to the wall surface protrudes from the piece-like screw fixing portion 30 (when mounted on the wall surface, it is positioned on the wall surface side). State).
With this configuration, when the cover is attached, the slide piece of the cover inserted between the wall surfaces by the pair of wing pieces 40 can be fixed by a spring action.

Next, in the case of obtaining a mirror fixing structure for fixing a mirror using the above-described mirror fixing bracket 1, a cover 2 covering the mirror fixing bracket 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

Next, a mirror fixing structure using the above-described mirror fixing bracket 1 and cover 2 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The mirror edge surface support portion 10 and the mirror surface support piece 20 of the mirror fixture 1 are brought into contact with the upper surface (or lower surface) and the front surface of the mirror 3, respectively, and are placed at appropriate positions on the wall surface (steel plate) 4. In this state, the screw 35 is inserted into the screw hole 31 of the piece-like screw fixing portion 30 and is screwed through the wall surface 4 and the gypsum board 5 below it. A piece of wood 6 corresponding to the screwing portion of the screw 35 is attached to the back side of the gypsum board 5, and the tip of the screw 35 penetrates the piece of wood 6 so that the mirror fixing bracket 1 is fixed to the wall surface 4 (FIG. 3).

  When the mirror fixing bracket 1 is fixed to the wall surface 4, when the piece-like screw fixing portion 30 is brought into close contact with the wall surface 4, it is disposed at both ends of the mirror surface supporting piece 20 by being slightly bent inside the mirror surface supporting piece 20. The holding part 21 securely presses the mirror 3 from the upper surface by a spring action, ensures close contact with the wall surface and prevents the mirror 3 from being laterally displaced.

Next, the cover 2 is attached to the mirror fixture 1. The cover 2 is mounted by positioning the cover 2 above the mirror fixing bracket 1 and positioning the slide piece 51 of the cover 2 between the wall surface 4 and the wing piece 51 (FIG. 4). Since the upper end of the wing piece 40 is bent in a direction away from the wall surface 4 to form a space between the wall surface 4, the slide piece 51 can be easily inserted.
By pushing down the slide piece 51 in this state, the slide piece 51 of the cover 2 is positioned between the wall surface 4 and the wing piece 51, and the front surface portion of the mirror fixing bracket 1 is covered with the front piece 52. The cover 2 can be fitted to the fixing bracket 1 (FIG. 5B).
That is, when the piece-like screw fixing portion 30 is in close contact with the wall surface, the bent portion 41 of the wing piece 40 is pushed against the wall surface, so that the cover 2 slides due to a spring action interlocking with the pair of wing pieces 40, 40. The piece 51 is pressed and integrated.
In this state, the slide piece 51 is pressed against the wall surface 4 by the spring force of the wing piece 40, so that the cover 2 can be reliably fixed by the mirror fixing bracket 1.
As shown in FIG. 5, the mirror 3 has a mirror fixing structure in which the mirror 3 is fixed to the wall surface 4 by attaching the mirror fixing brackets 1 to the upper edge portion and the lower edge portion, respectively.

  According to the above-described mirror fixing structure, the pressing portion 21 formed on the mirror surface supporting piece 20 presses the mirror 3 by a spring action by bringing the piece-like screw fixing portion 30 into close contact with the wall surface 4, and the mirror 3 is in close contact with the wall surface 4. Acts to Further, the slide piece 51 of the cover 2 can be reliably fixed by the spring action by the wing piece 40 and the bent portion 41.
