Description

本発明は連結部材、及びそれを備えた鏡アセンブリに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a connecting member and a mirror assembly including the connecting member.

特許文献1は、鏡板の端部に組み付けられる鏡板把持サッシが開示されている。この鏡板把持サッシは、鏡板の端部の端面に対向して支持する支持部と、支持部に連設されて鏡板の前面側を押さえる前壁部と、支持部に連設されて鏡板の後面側を押さえる後壁部と、を備えている。鏡板は、後面がバックパネルに固定されている。   Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-228707 discloses a end plate holding sash that is assembled to an end portion of the end plate. The end plate holding sash includes a support portion that supports the end face of the end portion of the end plate, a front wall portion that is connected to the support portion and presses the front side of the end plate, and a rear surface of the end plate that is connected to the support portion. And a rear wall for pressing the side. The rear surface of the end plate is fixed to the back panel.

特開2014−209991号公報JP 2014-209991 A

しかしながら、特許文献1の鏡板把持サッシは、鏡板の前面において液体(例えば、化粧品や洗剤を含む液体など)が端部に向かって伝わる場合に、前壁部と鏡板との間に入り込み、さらに鏡板の端部と支持部との間に回り込む虞がある。そして、この鏡板把持サッシは、支持部の端面全体が鏡板の端面と接触する構成であるため、鏡板と支持部との間に、鏡板の後方側へとつながる浸入経路が形成されてしまう。そのため、鏡の後面に回り込む液体は、鏡の後面と鏡板把持サッシとの間において毛細管現象によって鏡の後面全体へと広がっていくことになる。このような液体は、鏡の後面を腐食してしまう。   However, the end plate holding sash of Patent Document 1 enters between the front wall portion and the end plate when liquid (for example, liquid containing cosmetics or detergent) is transmitted toward the end portion on the front surface of the end plate. There is a risk of sneaking around between the end portion and the support portion. Since the end plate holding sash has a configuration in which the entire end surface of the support portion is in contact with the end surface of the end plate, an intrusion path leading to the rear side of the end plate is formed between the end plate and the support portion. For this reason, the liquid flowing around the rear surface of the mirror spreads over the entire rear surface of the mirror by capillary action between the rear surface of the mirror and the end plate gripping sash. Such a liquid will corrode the back of the mirror.

本発明は、上記従来の実情に鑑みてなされたものであって、鏡の後面の腐食を効果的に防止し得る連結部材、及びそれを備えた鏡アセンブリを提供することを解決すべき課題としている。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional situation, and it is a problem to be solved to provide a connecting member that can effectively prevent corrosion of the rear surface of the mirror, and a mirror assembly including the connecting member. Yes.

本発明の連結部材は、
鏡の端部に組み付けられ、前記鏡と、前記鏡が取り付けられる所定の取付部と、を連結する連結部材であって、
前壁と、
前記前壁の後方に位置する後壁と、
前記前壁及び前記後壁によって構成され、前記鏡の端部が挿入される挿入部と、
前記前壁及び前記後壁の少なくとも一方に連結し、前記挿入部に前記鏡の端部が挿入された状態で、前記挿入部の内側の空間を前空間と後空間とに仕切る仕切部と、
を備え、
前記挿入部に前記鏡の端部が挿入された状態で、前記仕切部の前方又は後方において前記鏡の端面に対向する第1対向面が、前記仕切部において前記鏡の端面に対向する第2対向面よりも、前記鏡の端面から離れていることを特徴とする。
The connecting member of the present invention is
A connecting member that is assembled to an end of a mirror and connects the mirror and a predetermined mounting portion to which the mirror is attached,
The front wall,
A rear wall located behind the front wall;
An insertion part constituted by the front wall and the rear wall, into which an end of the mirror is inserted;
A partition part that is connected to at least one of the front wall and the rear wall, and partitions the inner space of the insertion part into a front space and a rear space in a state where an end of the mirror is inserted into the insertion part;
With
In a state where the end portion of the mirror is inserted into the insertion portion, a first facing surface facing the end surface of the mirror in front or rear of the partition portion is a second facing the end surface of the mirror in the partition portion. It is further away from the end face of the mirror than the facing face.

この連結部材は、挿入部に鏡の端部が挿入された状態で、仕切部の前方又は後方において鏡の端面に対向する第1対向面が、仕切部において鏡の端面に対向する第2対向面よりも、鏡の端面から離れている。そのため、連結部材は、液体が鏡の前面から端部へ伝わる場合に、液体を前空間において仕切部の前面を第1対向面に向けて伝わらせることができる。また、連結部材は、仮に鏡の端部に伝わる液体が前空間から後空間に到達しようとしても、仕切部の後面を伝わらせて、液体を後空間において仕切部の後面を第1対向面に向けて伝わらせることができる。このように、連結部材は、鏡の端部から離れた第1対向面に向かって液体が伝わるため、鏡の端部を介して鏡の後方側に液体が到達し難く、鏡の後面に液体が回り込むことに起因する鏡の後面の腐食を効果的に防止することができる。   The connecting member has a second opposing surface in which the first opposing surface facing the end surface of the mirror in the front or rear of the partitioning portion faces the end surface of the mirror in the partitioning portion with the end of the mirror inserted in the insertion portion. It is farther from the mirror end face than the face. Therefore, when the liquid is transmitted from the front surface of the mirror to the end portion, the connecting member can transmit the liquid in the front space with the front surface of the partition portion facing the first facing surface. In addition, the connecting member transmits the rear surface of the partition portion to the first facing surface in the rear space even if the liquid transmitted to the end of the mirror tries to reach the rear space from the front space. It can be transmitted toward. As described above, since the liquid is transmitted to the first opposing surface away from the end of the mirror, the connecting member is unlikely to reach the rear side of the mirror via the end of the mirror, and the liquid is not supplied to the rear surface of the mirror. It is possible to effectively prevent the corrosion of the rear surface of the mirror caused by the wraparound.

本発明における好ましい実施の形態を説明する。   A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.

本発明の連結部材は、
前記前壁又は前記後壁と、前記仕切部とを連結する連結部を備え、
前記第1対向面は、前記連結部における前記鏡の端面に対向する面であり得る。
この場合、連結部材は、連結部によって前壁又は後壁と、仕切部とを連結することで、強度を向上させることができる。そのため、連結部材は、連結部を設けることによって、強度を向上させつつ、鏡本体の後面の腐食を効果的に防止することができる。
The connecting member of the present invention is
A connecting portion that connects the front wall or the rear wall and the partition;
The first facing surface may be a surface facing the end surface of the mirror in the connecting portion.
In this case, a connection member can improve intensity | strength by connecting a front wall or a rear wall, and a partition part by a connection part. Therefore, the connection member can effectively prevent corrosion of the rear surface of the mirror body while improving the strength by providing the connection part.

本発明の連結部材は、
前記仕切部から前方又は後方に突出した凸部を備え、
前記第1対向面は、前記凸部における前記鏡の端面に対向する面であり得る。
この場合、連結部材は、凸部が仕切部の前方から突出するように形成される構成では、仕切部が例えば単純な板形状等の構成である場合に比べて、強度を向上させることができる。一方で、連結部材は、凸部が仕切部の後方から突出するように形成される構成では、裏板が凸部に干渉することで仕切部に接触しなくなり、液体を裏板に到達させることなく、仕切部の後面を伝わらせて鏡本体から排水し易くすることができる。
The connecting member of the present invention is
Protruding portions protruding forward or rearward from the partition portion,
The first facing surface may be a surface facing the end surface of the mirror in the convex portion.
In this case, in the configuration in which the convex portion is formed so that the convex portion protrudes from the front of the partition portion, the strength of the connecting member can be improved as compared with the case where the partition portion has a simple plate shape or the like. . On the other hand, in the configuration in which the convex portion is formed so that the convex portion protrudes from the rear of the partition portion, the connecting member does not contact the partition portion due to the back plate interfering with the convex portion, and allows the liquid to reach the back plate. In addition, the rear surface of the partition portion can be transmitted to facilitate drainage from the mirror body.

本発明の鏡アセンブリの前記鏡は、鏡本体、及び前記鏡本体の後面に固定された裏板を有し、
前記仕切部は、前記挿入部に前記鏡の端部が挿入された状態で、前記裏板に対して前方に離間し得る。
この場合、鏡アセンブリは、仕切部が裏板に対して離間しているため、前空間から後空間に到達しようとする液体を仕切部の後面を伝わらせる際に、裏板に液体が到達することを防ぐことができる。そして、鏡アセンブリは、鏡の端部を介して鏡の裏板に液体が到達し難く、鏡本体と裏板との間に液体が入り込むことに起因する鏡本体の後面の腐食を効果的に防止することができる。
The mirror of the mirror assembly of the present invention has a mirror body and a back plate fixed to the rear surface of the mirror body,
The partition portion may be separated forward with respect to the back plate in a state where the end portion of the mirror is inserted into the insertion portion.
In this case, since the partition part is separated from the back plate in the mirror assembly, the liquid reaches the back plate when the liquid to reach the back space from the front space is transmitted to the rear surface of the partition part. Can be prevented. The mirror assembly makes it difficult for the liquid to reach the back plate of the mirror through the end of the mirror, and effectively prevents the back surface of the mirror body from corroding due to the liquid entering between the mirror body and the back plate. Can be prevented.

次に、本発明の連結部材及びそれを備えた鏡アセンブリを具体化した実施例1について、図面を参照しつつ説明する。   Next, a first embodiment in which the connecting member of the present invention and the mirror assembly including the connecting member are embodied will be described with reference to the drawings.

連結部材20は、仕切部60の上記構成によって、金型を用いて成形する際に、仕切部60を形作る金型部分の強度を高めることができる。具体的には、前壁30と仕切部60との間に配置される金型部分(上下方向に延びる部分)は、下端部(前壁30と下仕切部62との間の部分)が前後方向で厚くなる。また、後壁40と仕切部60との間に配置される金型部分は、上端部(後壁40と上仕切部61との間の部分)が前後方向で厚くなる。このように、連結部材20は、金型における上下方向に延びる部分の根元の厚さを確保することで、金型の強度を高めることができる。   When the connecting member 20 is molded using a mold, the strength of the mold part that forms the partition 60 can be increased by the above configuration of the partition 60. Specifically, the mold portion (portion extending in the vertical direction) disposed between the front wall 30 and the partition portion 60 has a lower end portion (portion between the front wall 30 and the lower partition portion 62) at the front and rear. Thicker in the direction. Moreover, as for the metal mold | die part arrange | positioned between the rear wall 40 and the partition part 60, an upper end part (part between the rear wall 40 and the upper partition part 61) becomes thick in the front-back direction. Thus, the connection member 20 can increase the strength of the mold by ensuring the thickness of the base of the portion extending in the vertical direction of the mold.

Next, assembly of the connecting member 20 to the mirror 10 will be described.
The mirror 10 is inserted into the insertion portion 80 of the connecting member 20 as shown in FIGS. The extending part 14 of the back plate 12 is inserted into a gap between the convex part 64 and the rear wall 40. The extending portion 14 is disposed between the pair of horizontal partition portions 65 and 65 so as to be separated from the horizontal partition portions 65 and 65. The end 11 </ b> A of the mirror body 11 is placed on the upper surface 60 </ b> F of the partition portion 60, the upper surfaces 65 </ b> F and 65 </ b> F of the pair of horizontal partition portions 65 and 65, and the upper surface 52 </ b> F of the front / rear connecting portion 52. Here, the imaginary line L shown in FIG. 5 is a horizontal line in the horizontal direction passing through the upper surface 60F of the partition portion 60, the upper surfaces 65F and 65F of the pair of horizontal partition portions 65 and 65, and the upper surface 52F of the front and rear connection portion 52. The end 11A of the mirror body 11 is positioned on the imaginary line L to be in the state shown in FIG.

リブ75は、切欠部14Aの内側に挿入される。これにより、連結部材20は、鏡10に対して左右方向の位置合わせが行われるとともに、位置ずれを防止することができる。   The rib 75 is inserted inside the notch 14A. As a result, the connecting member 20 is aligned in the left-right direction with respect to the mirror 10 and can be prevented from being displaced.

連結部材20は、挿入部80に鏡10の端部10Aが挿入された状態で、仕切部60の前方において鏡本体11の端面11Fにそれぞれ対向する各連結部の上面(前後連結部51の上面51FA、前後連結部53の上面53FA、前連結部71の上面71F、および前連結部72の上面72F)が、鏡本体11の端面11Fに対向する仕切部60の上面60Fよりも、鏡本体11の端面11Fから離れている。ここで、図11に示すように、鏡10の端面10Fは、鏡本体11の端面11Fと、裏板12の本体部13の端面13Fとによって構成されている。例えば、前連結部71の上面71F、および前連結部72の上面72Fは、それぞれ図9、図10に示すように、仕切部60の上面60Fよりも鏡本体11の端面11Fから離れている。   The connecting member 20 has an upper surface of each connecting portion (an upper surface of the front and rear connecting portions 51) facing the end surface 11 </ b> F of the mirror body 11 in front of the partition portion 60 in a state where the end portion 10 </ b> A of the mirror 10 is inserted into the insertion portion 80. 51FA, the upper surface 53FA of the front / rear connecting portion 53, the upper surface 71F of the front connecting portion 71, and the upper surface 72F of the front connecting portion 72) than the upper surface 60F of the partition portion 60 facing the end surface 11F of the mirror body 11. It is away from the end face 11F. Here, as shown in FIG. 11, the end face 10 </ b> F of the mirror 10 is configured by an end face 11 </ b> F of the mirror body 11 and an end face 13 </ b> F of the body portion 13 of the back plate 12. For example, the upper surface 71F of the front connection part 71 and the upper surface 72F of the front connection part 72 are farther from the end surface 11F of the mirror body 11 than the upper surface 60F of the partition part 60, as shown in FIGS.

また、連結部材20は、挿入部80に鏡10の端部10Aが挿入された状態で、仕切部60の後方において鏡10の端面10Fにそれぞれ対向する連結部の上面(前後連結部51の上面51FB、前後連結部53の上面53FB)、および凸部64の上面64Fが、鏡本体11の端面11Fに対向する仕切部60の上面60Fよりも、鏡本体11の端面11Fから離れている。例えば、凸部64の上面64Fは、図9、図10に示すように、仕切部60の上面60Fよりも鏡本体11の端面11Fから離れている。   In addition, the connecting member 20 has an upper surface (an upper surface of the front / rear connecting portion 51) facing the end surface 10F of the mirror 10 behind the partition portion 60 in a state where the end portion 10A of the mirror 10 is inserted into the insertion portion 80. 51FB, the upper surface 53FB of the front / rear connecting portion 53), and the upper surface 64F of the convex portion 64 are farther from the end surface 11F of the mirror body 11 than the upper surface 60F of the partition portion 60 facing the end surface 11F of the mirror body 11. For example, the upper surface 64F of the convex portion 64 is farther from the end surface 11F of the mirror body 11 than the upper surface 60F of the partition portion 60, as shown in FIGS.

続いて、連結部材20は、抜け止め用ビスB1(図1(B)参照)を後壁40の後方から抜け止め部43(図3参照)に螺合させ、裏板12の延出部14をセルフタッピング作用によって貫通させる。このように、連結部材20は、抜け止め用ビスB1を延出部14に貫通させることで、延出部14が後壁40の前方に固定され、鏡10の抜け止めを行う。   Subsequently, the connecting member 20 screws the retaining screw B1 (see FIG. 1B) from the rear of the rear wall 40 to the retaining portion 43 (see FIG. 3) to extend the extending portion 14 of the back plate 12. Through the self-tapping action. In this way, the connecting member 20 allows the extension part 14 to be fixed in front of the rear wall 40 and prevents the mirror 10 from coming off by passing the extension-preventing screw B1 through the extension part 14.

続いて、連結部材20は、タッピングビスB2(図1(B)参照)を撓み部44(図3参照)に挿通させ、仕切部60にセルフタッピングにより螺合させる。撓み部44は、下端側が前壁30側に移動して撓み変形し、鏡10を前壁30側に押圧する。これにより、鏡10は、前壁30と撓み部44とによって挟持されて固定される。以上のようにして、鏡アセンブリ1が組み立てられる。   Subsequently, the connecting member 20 inserts the tapping screw B2 (see FIG. 1 (B)) through the bending portion 44 (see FIG. 3), and screws the partitioning portion 60 by self-tapping. The lower end side of the flexure 44 moves toward the front wall 30 and bends and deforms, and presses the mirror 10 toward the front wall 30. Thereby, the mirror 10 is clamped and fixed by the front wall 30 and the bending portion 44. The mirror assembly 1 is assembled as described above.

次に、上記構成の連結部材20および鏡アセンブリ1の作用について説明する。
上記のように組み立てられた鏡アセンブリ1において、液体(例えば、化粧品や洗剤を含む液体など)が鏡本体11の前面において端部11Aに向かって伝わる場合を考える。鏡アセンブリ1は、液体が表面張力などにより鏡本体11と前壁30との間に入り込む虞がある。しかしながら、連結部材20は、鏡本体11と前壁30との間に入り込む液体を、そのまま前壁30の後面を伝って、図11に示す経路R1のように下方に導き、排水することができる。ここで、連結部材20は、例えば、図11に示すように、液体が前連結部71の上面71Fに伝わる場合でも、経路R2のように液体を上面71Fの左右方向の両端部から下方に向けて排水することができる。そして、前連結部71の上面71Fは、仕切部60の上面60Fよりも低位置に位置するため、液体が前連結部71の上面71F上に伝わる場合でも、液体が仕切部60を超えて後方に伝わることを防ぐことができる。以上の作用は、前後連結部51の上面51FA、前後連結部53の上面53FA、および前連結部72の上面72Fのいずれに液体が伝わる場合でも同様に生じさせることができる。
Next, the operation of the connecting member 20 and the mirror assembly 1 configured as described above will be described.
In the mirror assembly 1 assembled as described above, consider a case where a liquid (for example, a liquid containing cosmetics or detergent) is transmitted toward the end portion 11A on the front surface of the mirror body 11. In the mirror assembly 1, there is a risk that liquid may enter between the mirror body 11 and the front wall 30 due to surface tension or the like. However, the connecting member 20 can guide and drain the liquid that enters between the mirror body 11 and the front wall 30 through the rear surface of the front wall 30 as shown in a path R1 shown in FIG. . Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the connecting member 20 directs the liquid downward from both left and right end portions of the upper surface 71 </ b> F as in the path R <b> 2 even when the liquid is transmitted to the upper surface 71 </ b> F of the front connecting portion 71. Can be drained. And since the upper surface 71F of the front connection part 71 is located in a position lower than the upper surface 60F of the partition part 60, even when the liquid is transmitted onto the upper surface 71F of the front connection part 71, the liquid passes the partition part 60 and is behind. Can be prevented from being transmitted to. The above operation can be similarly caused regardless of whether the liquid is transmitted to any one of the upper surface 51FA of the front / rear connecting portion 51, the upper surface 53FA of the front / rear connecting portion 53, and the upper surface 72F of the front connecting portion 72.

また、連結部材20は、鏡本体11と前壁30との間に入り込む液体が、鏡本体11の端部11Aに伝わった場合であっても、端部11Aが載置される仕切部60に接触することになる。そのため、連結部材20は、図12に示す経路R3のように、液体が前空間S1において仕切部60の前面を伝わり、鏡本体11から下方に排水される。ここで、連結部材20は、例えば、図12に示すように、液体が前連結部71の上面71Fに伝わる場合でも、経路R4のように液体を上面71Fの左右方向の両端部から下方に向けて排水することができる。このように、連結部材20は、鏡10の端部10Aから離れた前連結部71の上面71Fに向かって液体が伝わるため、鏡本体11の端面11Fを介して裏板12に液体が到達し難くなる。以上の作用は、前後連結部51の上面51FA、前後連結部53の上面53FA、および前連結部72の上面72Fのいずれに液体が伝わる場合でも同様に生じさせることができる。   Further, the connecting member 20 is provided in the partition 60 on which the end 11A is placed even when the liquid that enters between the mirror main body 11 and the front wall 30 is transmitted to the end 11A of the mirror main body 11. Will come into contact. For this reason, in the connecting member 20, as in a path R <b> 3 shown in FIG. 12, the liquid travels along the front surface of the partition 60 in the front space S <b> 1 and is drained downward from the mirror body 11. Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the connecting member 20 directs the liquid downward from both left and right end portions of the upper surface 71F as in the path R4 even when the liquid is transmitted to the upper surface 71F of the front connecting portion 71. Can be drained. In this way, since the liquid is transmitted to the upper surface 71F of the front connecting portion 71 away from the end portion 10A of the mirror 10, the connecting member 20 reaches the back plate 12 via the end surface 11F of the mirror body 11. It becomes difficult. The above operation can be similarly caused regardless of whether the liquid is transmitted to any one of the upper surface 51FA of the front / rear connecting portion 51, the upper surface 53FA of the front / rear connecting portion 53, and the upper surface 72F of the front connecting portion 72.

さらに、仮に鏡10の端部10Aに伝わる液体が、裏板12まで到達しようとする場合を考える。連結部材20は、仕切部60の後ろには後空間S2があり、仕切部60が裏板12に対して離間している。そのため、連結部材20は、図13に示す経路R5のように、液体が後空間S2において仕切部60の後面を伝わり、鏡本体11から下方に排水される。ここで、連結部材20は、例えば、図13に示すように、液体が凸部64の上面64Fに伝わる場合でも、経路R6のように液体を上面64Fの左右方向の両端部から下方に向けて排水することができる。また、連結部材20は、図13に示すように、液体が後連結部73の上面73Fに伝わる場合でも、経路R6のように液体を上面73Fの左右方向の両端部から下方に向けて排水することができる。このように、連結部材20は、鏡本体11の端面11Fから離れた凸部64の上面64F、および後連結部73の上面73Fに向かって液体が伝わるため、鏡10の端部10Aを介して裏板12に液体が到達し難くなる。以上の作用は、前後連結部51の上面51FB、および前後連結部53の上面53FBのいずれに液体が伝わる場合でも同様に生じさせることができる。   Furthermore, suppose that the liquid transmitted to the end 10 </ b> A of the mirror 10 tries to reach the back plate 12. The connecting member 20 has a rear space S <b> 2 behind the partition portion 60, and the partition portion 60 is separated from the back plate 12. Therefore, in the connecting member 20, as in a path R <b> 5 illustrated in FIG. 13, the liquid travels along the rear surface of the partition portion 60 in the rear space S <b> 2 and is drained downward from the mirror body 11. Here, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the connecting member 20 directs the liquid downward from both left and right end portions of the upper surface 64 </ b> F as in the path R <b> 6 even when the liquid is transmitted to the upper surface 64 </ b> F of the convex portion 64. It can be drained. Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the connecting member 20 drains the liquid downward from both left and right end portions of the upper surface 73F as in the path R6 even when the liquid is transmitted to the upper surface 73F of the rear connecting portion 73. be able to. Thus, since the liquid is transmitted to the upper surface 64F of the convex portion 64 and the upper surface 73F of the rear connection portion 73 that are separated from the end surface 11F of the mirror body 11, the connection member 20 passes through the end portion 10A of the mirror 10. It becomes difficult for the liquid to reach the back plate 12. The above operation can be similarly caused regardless of whether the liquid is transmitted to either the upper surface 51FB of the front / rear connecting portion 51 or the upper surface 53FB of the front / rear connecting portion 53.

また、裏板12の延出部14は、一対の横仕切部65,65の間において、各横仕切部65,65に離間して配置されている。そのため、連結部材20は、液体が鏡10の延出部14を除く端部10Aにおいて左右方向外側から延出部14に向かって液体が伝わる場合に、横仕切部65,65によって下方に排水することができる。具体的には、連結部材20は、端部10Aにおける延出部14よりも左側の部分において、左側から延出部14に向かって液体が伝わる場合に、図8に示す経路R7のように、後左空間S21において左側の横仕切部65の左側面を伝わらせて、下方に排水することができる。さらに、連結部材20は、仮に左側の横仕切部65の左側面よりも右側に液体が伝わっても、図8に示す経路R8のように、左側の横仕切部65の右側面を伝わらせて、後内空間S22において下方に排水することができる。同様に、連結部材20は、端部10Aにおける延出部14よりも右側の部分において、右側から延出部14に向かって液体が伝わる場合に、図8に示す経路R9のように、後右空間S23において右側の横仕切部65の右側面を伝わらせて、下方に排水することができる。さらに、連結部材20は、仮に右側の横仕切部65の右側面よりも左側に液体が伝わっても、図8に示す経路R10のように、右側の横仕切部65の左側面を伝わらせて、後内空間S22において下方に排水することができる。   In addition, the extending portion 14 of the back plate 12 is disposed so as to be separated from the horizontal partition portions 65 and 65 between the pair of horizontal partition portions 65 and 65. Therefore, when the liquid is transmitted from the outer side in the left and right direction toward the extending portion 14 at the end portion 10A excluding the extending portion 14 of the mirror 10, the connecting member 20 is drained downward by the horizontal partition portions 65 and 65. be able to. Specifically, when the liquid is transmitted from the left side toward the extending portion 14 in the portion on the left side of the extending portion 14 in the end portion 10A, the connecting member 20 is like a path R7 shown in FIG. In the rear left space S <b> 21, the left side surface of the left side partition 65 can be transmitted and drained downward. Furthermore, even if the liquid is transmitted to the right side rather than the left side surface of the left side partition portion 65, the connecting member 20 transmits the right side surface of the left side partition portion 65 as shown in a path R8 shown in FIG. In the rear inner space S22, the water can be drained downward. Similarly, when the liquid is transmitted from the right side toward the extending portion 14 in the portion on the right side of the extending portion 14 in the end portion 10A, the connecting member 20 has a rear right side as shown in a path R9 shown in FIG. In the space S <b> 23, the right side surface of the right side partition 65 can be transmitted and drained downward. Furthermore, even if the liquid is transmitted to the left side of the right side surface of the right side partition portion 65, the connecting member 20 transmits the left side surface of the right side partition portion 65 as shown in the path R10 shown in FIG. In the rear inner space S22, the water can be drained downward.

以下、本構成の効果を例示する。
実施例1の連結部材20は、挿入部80に鏡10の端部10Aが挿入された状態で、仕切部60の前方又は後方において鏡10の端面10Fに対向する前後連結部51の上面51F、前後連結部53の上面53FA、前連結部71の上面71F、前連結部72の上面72F、凸部64の上面64F、が、仕切部60において鏡本体11の端面11Fに対向する上面60Fよりも、鏡本体11の端面11Fから離れている。そのため、連結部材20は、液体が鏡10の前面から端部10Aへ伝わる場合に、液体を前空間S1において仕切部60の前面を上面51FA,53FA,71F,72Fに向けて伝わらせることができる。また、連結部材20は、仮に鏡本体11の端面11Fに伝わる液体が前空間S1から後空間S2に到達しようとしても、仕切部60の後面を伝わらせて、液体を後空間S2において仕切部60の後面を上面51FB,53FB,64Fに向けて伝わらせることができる。このように、連結部材20は、鏡本体11の端面11Fから離れた上面51FA,51FB,53FA,53FB,64F,71F,72Fに向かって液体が伝わるため、鏡本体11の端面11Fを介して裏板12に液体が到達し難く、鏡本体11と裏板12との間に液体が入り込むことに起因する鏡本体11の後面の腐食を効果的に防止することができる。
Hereinafter, the effect of this configuration will be exemplified.
The connecting member 20 according to the first embodiment includes the upper surface 51F of the front / rear connecting portion 51 facing the end surface 10F of the mirror 10 in front or rear of the partition portion 60 in a state where the end portion 10A of the mirror 10 is inserted into the insertion portion 80. The upper surface 53FA of the front / rear connecting portion 53, the upper surface 71F of the front connecting portion 71, the upper surface 72F of the front connecting portion 72, and the upper surface 64F of the convex portion 64 are more than the upper surface 60F facing the end surface 11F of the mirror body 11 in the partition portion 60. The mirror body 11 is separated from the end surface 11F. Therefore, when the liquid is transmitted from the front surface of the mirror 10 to the end portion 10A, the connecting member 20 can transmit the liquid toward the upper surfaces 51FA, 53FA, 71F, 72F on the front surface of the partition 60 in the front space S1. . Further, even if the liquid transmitted to the end surface 11F of the mirror body 11 tries to reach the rear space S2 from the front space S1, the connecting member 20 transmits the liquid to the rear surface of the partition portion 60 and causes the liquid to flow in the rear space S2. Can be transmitted toward the upper surfaces 51FB, 53FB, and 64F. Thus, since the liquid is transmitted toward the upper surfaces 51FA, 51FB, 53FA, 53FB, 64F, 71F, 72F away from the end surface 11F of the mirror body 11, the connecting member 20 is back through the end surface 11F of the mirror body 11. It is difficult for the liquid to reach the plate 12, and corrosion of the rear surface of the mirror main body 11 due to the liquid entering between the mirror main body 11 and the back plate 12 can be effectively prevented.

連結部材20は、前壁30又は後壁40と、仕切部60とを連結する前後連結部51、前後連結部53、前連結部71、および前連結部72を備えている。上面51FA,51FB,53FA,53FB,71F,72Fは、鏡10の端面10Fに対向する面である。
このため、連結部材20は、連結部51,53,71,72によって前壁30又は後壁40と、仕切部60とを連結することで、強度を向上させることができる。そのため、連結部材20は、連結部51,53,71,72を設けることによって、強度を向上させつつ、鏡本体11の後面の腐食を効果的に防止することができる。
The connecting member 20 includes a front / rear connecting part 51, a front / rear connecting part 53, a front connecting part 71, and a front connecting part 72 that connect the front wall 30 or the rear wall 40 and the partition part 60. The upper surfaces 51FA, 51FB, 53FA, 53FB, 71F, 72F are surfaces facing the end surface 10F of the mirror 10.
For this reason, the connection member 20 can improve intensity | strength by connecting the front wall 30 or the rear wall 40, and the partition part 60 by the connection parts 51,53,71,72. Therefore, the connecting member 20 can effectively prevent corrosion of the rear surface of the mirror body 11 while improving the strength by providing the connecting portions 51, 53, 71, 72.

連結部材20は、仕切部60から後方に突出した凸部64を備えている。上面64Fは、凸部64における鏡10の端面10Fに対向する面である。
このため、連結部材20は、凸部64が仕切部60の後方から突出するように形成される構成であり、裏板12が凸部64に干渉することで仕切部60に接触しなくなり、液体を裏板12に到達させることなく、仕切部60の後面を伝わらせて鏡本体11から排水し易くすることができる。
The connecting member 20 includes a convex portion 64 that protrudes rearward from the partition portion 60. The upper surface 64F is a surface facing the end surface 10F of the mirror 10 in the convex portion 64.
For this reason, the connecting member 20 is configured such that the convex portion 64 protrudes from the rear of the partition portion 60, and the back plate 12 does not come into contact with the partition portion 60 due to interference with the convex portion 64, so that the liquid Without reaching the back plate 12, the rear surface of the partition 60 can be transmitted to facilitate drainage from the mirror body 11.

鏡アセンブリ1の鏡10は、鏡本体11、及び鏡本体11の後面に固定された裏板12を有している。仕切部60は、挿入部80に鏡10の端部10Aが挿入された状態で、裏板12に対して前方に離間する。
これにより、鏡アセンブリ1は、仕切部60が裏板12に対して離間しているため、前空間S1から後空間S2に到達しようとする液体を仕切部60の後面を伝わらせる際に、裏板12に液体が到達することを防ぐことができる。そして、鏡アセンブリ1は、鏡10の端部10Aを介して鏡10の裏板12に液体が到達し難く、鏡本体11と裏板12との間に液体が入り込むことに起因する鏡本体11の後面の腐食を効果的に防止することができる。
The mirror 10 of the mirror assembly 1 has a mirror body 11 and a back plate 12 fixed to the rear surface of the mirror body 11. The partition portion 60 is separated forward from the back plate 12 in a state where the end portion 10 </ b> A of the mirror 10 is inserted into the insertion portion 80.
Thereby, since the partition part 60 is spaced apart from the back plate 12, the mirror assembly 1 has a rear surface when the liquid that is about to reach the rear space S2 from the front space S1 is transmitted to the rear surface of the partition part 60. The liquid can be prevented from reaching the plate 12. In the mirror assembly 1, it is difficult for the liquid to reach the back plate 12 of the mirror 10 through the end portion 10 </ b> A of the mirror 10, and the mirror main body 11 is caused by the liquid entering between the mirror main body 11 and the back plate 12. It is possible to effectively prevent the corrosion of the rear surface.
