Description

  The present invention relates to a frame mounting structure for a bathroom mirror for covering the lower edge portion of the front side of the mirror attached to the wall surface of the bathroom.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known one in which a resin mirror frame is attached in order to cover a peripheral portion of a mirror attached to a wall surface of a bathroom. The use of a resin mirror frame has an advantage that it can be manufactured at a lower cost than a metal frame such as aluminum.

  In Patent Document 1, a fixing portion that is screw-fixed in a state where the back side is in contact with a wall surface, a bottom portion that is formed to extend from the fixing portion toward the front side, and an upper end that extends upward from the front side end portion of the bottom portion. A visible part that covers the lower edge of the front of the mirror, and a folded part that has the upper end of the visible part folded back to the lower side and hooked to the retaining part that constitutes the front of the mirror mounting material. And a mounting lowering portion for horizontally supporting the lower end of the mirror mounting material extending from the middle part of the apparent part slightly downward to the wall surface side, is disclosed.

  The lower mirror frame disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a configuration in which a fixed portion and an apparent portion extend from the front end and the rear end of the bottom portion, respectively. Therefore, the water that has flowed into the lower mirror frame tends to stay on the bottom, and mold may be generated due to the water.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, the lower end portion of the lower mirror frame 400 is separated from the wall surface 200 to form a drain gap 410, and the folded portion 420 formed at the upper end of the lower mirror frame 400 is replaced with the mirror 300. A method of hooking and fixing to the latching portion 230 of the mirror mounting member 200 for supporting the lower end of the mirror is conceivable. Although it is possible to drain the water that has flowed into the lower mirror frame 400 by the gap 410 for drainage, there is a problem with fixing the lower mirror frame 400. In other words, since the lower mirror frame 400 is fixed to the mirror mounting member only by the folding portion 420, for example, when the wall surface 200 is cleaned, if the lower end of the lower mirror frame 400 is caught by a cleaning tool such as a sponge. Since the lower mirror frame 400 is made of resin with low rigidity, the folded portion 420 is deformed, and the lower mirror frame 400 is easily detached from the mirror mounting member 200.

  FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing the lower mirror frame 40. The lower mirror frame 40 is a long resin molded product having substantially the same length as the lower end of the mirror 3, and is manufactured by extrusion molding, so that the cross section has the same shape with respect to the length direction. . As shown in FIG. 10, the lower mirror frame 40 is formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section, and an obscuration portion 41 for obscuring the lower edge of the mirror 3, the lower mirror stopper 20, and the reinforcing tool 30, So that it can be engaged with the first engaging portion 33 of the reinforcing tool 30 at the intermediate position in the vertical direction of the wrapping portion 41 and the folded portion 42 that is turned back approximately 180 degrees from the upper end to the lower side. A second engagement portion 43 (second claw portion 44) is formed so as to protrude toward the back side and is inclined toward the lower side and the front side at the tip.

  FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a transition of a state in which the lower mirror frame 40 is fixed to the lower mirror stopper 20 and the reinforcing tool 30.

  First, in a state where the lower mirror frame 40 is tilted, the folded portion 42 of the lower mirror frame 40 is hooked on the hook portion 23 of the lower mirror stopper 20. Next, with the folded portion of the lower mirror frame 40 as an axis, the second engaging portion 43 of the lower mirror frame 40 is connected to the mirror mounting portion 22 of the lower mirror stopper 20 and the protruding portion 32 of the reinforcing tool 30. Plug in. At this time, each of the first engaging portion 33 and the second engaging portion 43 is slightly elastically deformed, so that the second claw portion 44 can get over the first claw portion 34.

  Thus, the lower mirror frame 40 has the upper end folded-back portion 42 and the hook portion 23 of the lower mirror stopper 20, and the second engaging portion 43 is the first of the reinforcing member 30 at the intermediate position in the vertical direction. Since the engaging portions 33 are fixed to each other, they are not easily detached.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, in the state where the first engagement portion 33 and the second engagement portion 43 are engaged, the drainage gap 70 is provided between the lower end of the lower mirror frame 40 and the wall surface 2. They are spaced apart to form. By forming the gap 70 for drainage, the water flowing into the lower mirror frame 40 is drained without remaining.

  In the present invention, the second engagement portion 43 having the second claw portion 44 protruding and formed downward is the first engagement having the first claw portion 34 protruding and formed upward. It is arranged above the portion 33. By doing in this way, even when a cleaning tool such as a sponge is hooked on the drain gap 70 and the lower end of the lower mirror frame 40 is pulled to the front side, the relatively strong strength made of the metal material is formed. Since the second engaging portion 43 is restrained by the high first claw portion 34, the movement of the lower end of the lower mirror frame 40 does not follow up to the second engaging portion 43.

For example, when the second engagement portion 43 is engaged with the first engagement portion 33 disposed at a position lower than the first engagement portion 33, the second engagement portion 43 is the lower end of the lower mirror frame 40. Since it is easy to follow the movement, the engagement is easily disengaged.

  As described above, according to the present invention, water does not accumulate in the lower mirror frame 40 and the lower mirror frame 40 can be reliably fixed.
