前記した従来の技術には，次のような問題点があった。鏡と連結部材との接触箇所に水分が滞留することがある。水分との接触により鏡に汚染，劣化が生じることがある。例えばシケと称されるような斑点状の変色箇所が生じる。これは鏡の外観に影響する。特に，下端の連結部材付近は，滞留水分の影響を受けやすい。この場所はユーザーの視野にも入りやすく目立ってしまう。 The above-mentioned conventional technique has the following problems. Moisture may stay at the point of contact between the mirror and the connecting member. Contact with moisture may cause contamination or deterioration of the mirror. For example, spot-like discolored spots called shike occur. This affects the appearance of the mirror. In particular, the vicinity of the connecting member at the lower end is easily affected by retained moisture. This place is easily visible to the user and stands out.

本明細書の開示技術は，前記した従来の技術が有する問題点を解決するためになされたものである。すなわちその課題とするところは，鏡との接触箇所に水分が滞留しにくい連結部材およびそれを用いたミラーキャビネットを提供することにある。 The disclosure technique of the present specification has been made to solve the problems of the above-mentioned conventional technique. That is, the problem is to provide a connecting member in which water does not easily stay at the contact point with the mirror and a mirror cabinet using the connecting member.

本開示技術を具体化した実施の形態について，添付図面を参照しつつ詳細に説明する。本形態は，図１に示すミラーキャビネット１６として本開示技術を具体化したものである。図１のミラーキャビネット１６は，キャビネット本体１５と鏡アセンブリ１とを有している。キャビネット本体１５は，前面が開放されている箱状の部材であり内部は収納空間となっている。 An embodiment embodying the disclosed technology will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This embodiment embodies the disclosed technology as the mirror cabinet 16 shown in FIG. The mirror cabinet 16 of FIG. 1 has a cabinet body 15 and a mirror assembly 1. The cabinet body 15 is a box-shaped member whose front surface is open, and the inside is a storage space.

鏡アセンブリ１は図２に示されるように，鏡１０の上端および下端に連結部材２０を取り付けたものである。鏡アセンブリ１は，鏡１０をユーザーが見やすい位置に配置する役割と，キャビネット本体１５の前面を閉鎖する役割とを有している。鏡１０は，鏡本体板１１の裏面に裏板１２を貼り合わせたものである。貼り合わせは，両面テープあるいは接着剤による。 As shown in FIG. 2, the mirror assembly 1 has connecting members 20 attached to the upper and lower ends of the mirror 10. The mirror assembly 1 has a role of arranging the mirror 10 at a position where the user can easily see it and a role of closing the front surface of the cabinet body 15. The mirror 10 has a back plate 12 attached to the back surface of the mirror body plate 11. Bonding is done with double-sided tape or adhesive.

連結部材２０は，鏡１０の上端および下端を保持するとともに，鏡１０を被連結体であるキャビネット本体１５に連結するための部材である。以下，下側の連結部材２０に着目して説明する。下側の連結部材２０は，鏡１０の下端をその幅方向の全体にわたって保持する部材である。図２中では，キャビネット本体１５への取り付けのための蝶番２９を省略して示している。 The connecting member 20 is a member for holding the upper end and the lower end of the mirror 10 and connecting the mirror 10 to the cabinet body 15 which is a connected body. Hereinafter, the description will be given focusing on the lower connecting member 20. The lower connecting member 20 is a member that holds the lower end of the mirror 10 over the entire width direction. In FIG. 2, the hinge 29 for attaching to the cabinet body 15 is omitted.

単独での連結部材２０を図３，図４に示す。図４は，図３よりも高い角度から連結部材２０を見た斜視図である。図３，図４に示されるように連結部材２０には，基部４０と，前壁２２と，後壁２３とが設けられている。基部４０は，鏡１０の下端の下に位置する部位である。前壁２２は，鏡１０における鏡本体板１１の前面より前に位置する部位である。後壁２３は，鏡１０の後面より後ろに位置する部位である。本形態では前述のように裏板１２を有する鏡１０を使用しているので，後壁２３は裏板１２よりさらに後ろに位置している。図３，図４における連結部材２０にはこれらの他に，中間壁２４も設けられている。中間壁２４は，鏡本体板１１と裏板１２との間に位置する部位である。 The single connecting member 20 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the connecting member 20 viewed from a higher angle than that of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the connecting member 20 is provided with a base 40, a front wall 22, and a rear wall 23. The base 40 is a portion located below the lower end of the mirror 10. The front wall 22 is a portion of the mirror 10 located in front of the front surface of the mirror body plate 11. The rear wall 23 is a portion located behind the rear surface of the mirror 10. In this embodiment, since the mirror 10 having the back plate 12 is used as described above, the rear wall 23 is located further behind the back plate 12. In addition to these, the connecting member 20 in FIGS. 3 and 4 is also provided with an intermediate wall 24. The intermediate wall 24 is a portion located between the mirror body plate 11 and the back plate 12.

図４に現れているように，基部４０には，幅方向右端の第１端部４１と，左端の第２端部４２とが設けられている。第１端部４１と第２端部４２との間の幅方向中央の領域には，穴部４３が形成されている。基部４０にはさらに，中間凸部４４が形成されている。中間凸部４４は，幅方向中央より右寄りの位置と左寄りの位置との２箇所に設けられている。２箇所の中間凸部４４のいずれも，その幅方向中央の両隣に穴部４３が配置されている。中間凸部４４は，第１端部４１と第２端部４２とのいずれからも穴部４３により隔てられている。本形態の連結部材２０では，第１端部４１，中間凸部４４，中間凸部４４，第２端部４２の４箇所で鏡１０の下面を支持する。 As shown in FIG. 4, the base portion 40 is provided with a first end portion 41 at the right end in the width direction and a second end portion 42 at the left end. A hole 43 is formed in the central region in the width direction between the first end 41 and the second end 42. An intermediate convex portion 44 is further formed on the base portion 40. The intermediate convex portions 44 are provided at two positions, a position to the right and a position to the left of the center in the width direction. Holes 43 are arranged on both sides of the center of each of the two intermediate convex portions 44 in the width direction. The intermediate convex portion 44 is separated from both the first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42 by a hole portion 43. In the connecting member 20 of the present embodiment, the lower surface of the mirror 10 is supported at four points, the first end portion 41, the intermediate convex portion 44, the intermediate convex portion 44, and the second end portion 42.

連結部材２０の側視断面図を図５に示す。図５に現れている断面は，連結部材２０の幅方向における中間凸部４４が存在する位置（後出の図８中のＡ−Ａ位置）でのものである。中間凸部４４は，鏡本体板１１の下面１３に向かって凸状の形状の部位である。連結部材２０に鏡１０を装着した状態では，図５において前壁２２と中間壁２４との間に鏡本体板１１の下端が挿し込まれ，中間壁２４と後壁２３との間に裏板１２が挿し込まれる。 A side sectional view of the connecting member 20 is shown in FIG. The cross section shown in FIG. 5 is at a position where the intermediate convex portion 44 exists in the width direction of the connecting member 20 (position AA in FIG. 8 described later). The intermediate convex portion 44 is a portion having a convex shape toward the lower surface 13 of the mirror body plate 11. When the mirror 10 is attached to the connecting member 20, the lower end of the mirror body plate 11 is inserted between the front wall 22 and the intermediate wall 24 in FIG. 5, and the back plate is inserted between the intermediate wall 24 and the rear wall 23. 12 is inserted.

図５に示されるように，中間凸部４４と前壁２２との間は穴部４３により隔てられている。中間凸部４４と中間壁２４との間も穴部４３により隔てられている。このため，図５中における鏡本体板１１の下面１３は，その前後方向における中央部分でのみ，中間凸部４４と接している。下面１３のうち前後方向における前端寄りの部分および後端寄りの部分は，空気に面している。 As shown in FIG. 5, the intermediate convex portion 44 and the front wall 22 are separated by a hole portion 43. The intermediate convex portion 44 and the intermediate wall 24 are also separated by a hole portion 43. Therefore, the lower surface 13 of the mirror body plate 11 in FIG. 5 is in contact with the intermediate convex portion 44 only at the central portion in the front-rear direction thereof. Of the lower surface 13, the portion closer to the front end and the portion closer to the rear end in the front-rear direction face the air.

図４に戻って，第１端部４１と第２端部４２との間には，中間凸部４４以外に連絡部４５が設けられている。連絡部４５は，連結部材２０における前壁２２と中間壁２４とを接続する部位である。ただし連絡部４５の頂部は，中間凸部４４の頂部より低い。このため連絡部４５は，鏡１０が装着されている状態でも下面１３には接しない。この状況を図６に示す。図６は，連結部材２０の幅方向における連絡部４５が存在する位置（図８中のＢ−Ｂ位置）での側視断面図である。図６では，鏡本体板１１の下面１３が，前後方向の全体にわたって空気に面している。 Returning to FIG. 4, a connecting portion 45 is provided between the first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42 in addition to the intermediate convex portion 44. The connecting portion 45 is a portion of the connecting member 20 that connects the front wall 22 and the intermediate wall 24. However, the top of the connecting portion 45 is lower than the top of the intermediate convex portion 44. Therefore, the connecting portion 45 does not come into contact with the lower surface 13 even when the mirror 10 is attached. This situation is shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a side sectional view at a position (the position BB in FIG. 8) where the connecting portion 45 exists in the width direction of the connecting member 20. In FIG. 6, the lower surface 13 of the mirror body plate 11 faces the air throughout in the front-rear direction.

図７は，連結部材２０の幅方向における中間凸部４４も連絡部４５も存在しない位置（図８中のＣ−Ｃ位置）での側視断面図である。この位置では穴部４３が上下方向に貫通している。図７においても，鏡本体板１１の下面１３が前後方向の全体にわたって空気に面している。 FIG. 7 is a side sectional view of the connecting member 20 at a position (CC position in FIG. 8) where neither the intermediate convex portion 44 nor the connecting portion 45 exists in the width direction. At this position, the hole 43 penetrates in the vertical direction. Also in FIG. 7, the lower surface 13 of the mirror body plate 11 faces the air throughout in the front-rear direction.

図８に，連結部材２０の正面視での断面図を示す。図８に示されている断面の形状は，図５中における中間凸部４４のある位置（Ｄ−Ｄ位置）でのものである。この図では，第１端部４１，２箇所の中間凸部４４の頂部，第２端部４２の高さが同一の高さとなっている。連絡部４５の頂部は，前述のように中間凸部４４の頂部より低い。これにより鏡１０の下面をガタつきなく支持できるようになっている。以上，図２中の下側の連結部材２０に着目してその形状を説明した。図２中の上側の連結部材２０としては，下側の連結部材２０を上下に反転した形状のものを用いることができる。 FIG. 8 shows a cross-sectional view of the connecting member 20 in a front view. The shape of the cross section shown in FIG. 8 is that at a certain position (DD position) of the intermediate convex portion 44 in FIG. In this figure, the heights of the tops of the intermediate convex portions 44 at the first end portions 41 and 2 and the heights of the second end portions 42 are the same. The top of the connecting portion 45 is lower than the top of the intermediate convex portion 44 as described above. As a result, the lower surface of the mirror 10 can be supported without rattling. The shape of the lower connecting member 20 in FIG. 2 has been described above. As the upper connecting member 20 in FIG. 2, a member having a shape in which the lower connecting member 20 is inverted upside down can be used.

図１に示した本形態のミラーキャビネット１６では，上記のように説明した上下の連結部材２０により鏡１０が保持され，鏡アセンブリ１を構成している。鏡１０への連結部材２０の取り付けは，連結部材２０における前壁２２と後壁２３との間に鏡１０の上端，下端を挿し込むだけである。このとき連結部材２０の中間壁２４が鏡１０における鏡本体板１１と裏板１２との間に入り込むことになる。鏡アセンブリ１は連結部材２０により，キャビネット本体１５に対して開閉可能な形で取り付けられている。 In the mirror cabinet 16 of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the mirror 10 is held by the upper and lower connecting members 20 described as described above, and constitutes the mirror assembly 1. To attach the connecting member 20 to the mirror 10, simply insert the upper and lower ends of the mirror 10 between the front wall 22 and the rear wall 23 of the connecting member 20. At this time, the intermediate wall 24 of the connecting member 20 enters between the mirror body plate 11 and the back plate 12 of the mirror 10. The mirror assembly 1 is attached to the cabinet body 15 by a connecting member 20 so as to be openable and closable.

本形態のミラーキャビネット１６では，連結部材２０の上記の形状により，鏡１０と連結部材２０との取り付け箇所の排水性がよい。使用状態において鏡本体板１１の前面と前壁２２との間を伝って上から水分が降りてきた場合，その水分はそのまま前壁２２を伝ってさらに下降していくことになるからである。下面１３のうち前後方向における前壁２２寄りの部分が空気に面しているからである。鏡本体板１１の後面と中間壁２４との間においても同様のことが起こる。 In the mirror cabinet 16 of the present embodiment, due to the above-mentioned shape of the connecting member 20, the drainage property of the attachment portion between the mirror 10 and the connecting member 20 is good. This is because when water comes down from above along the front surface of the mirror body plate 11 and between the front wall 22 in the used state, the water goes down further along the front wall 22 as it is. This is because the portion of the lower surface 13 closer to the front wall 22 in the front-rear direction faces the air. The same thing happens between the rear surface of the mirror body plate 11 and the intermediate wall 24.

特に，下側の連結部材２０においてはこの排水性の良さは重要である。鏡１０の前面に洗浄のために水を掛けたような場合に，その水は鏡１０の前面に沿って下側の連結部材２０に向かって落下していくからである。結露により鏡１０の前面に水が発生した場合も同様である。結露については鏡本体板１１の後面上にも起こりうる。 In particular, the good drainage property is important for the lower connecting member 20. This is because when water is poured on the front surface of the mirror 10 for cleaning, the water falls along the front surface of the mirror 10 toward the lower connecting member 20. The same applies when water is generated on the front surface of the mirror 10 due to dew condensation. Condensation can also occur on the rear surface of the mirror body plate 11.

もし，鏡本体板１１の下面１３の全体が連結部材２０の基部４０に接しているような構成であると，鏡本体板１１の下端に達した水分は暫くそのままそこに滞留することとなる。このことにより鏡１０の前面の下端付近に，シケと称される変色箇所が生じる等，外観の劣化が生じうる。この場所はユーザーから見て目立つ場所であり，品質感の低下は大きい。 If the entire lower surface 13 of the mirror body plate 11 is in contact with the base 40 of the connecting member 20, the water that has reached the lower end of the mirror body plate 11 will stay there for a while. As a result, the appearance may be deteriorated, for example, a discolored portion called a shike may occur near the lower end of the front surface of the mirror 10. This place is conspicuous from the user's point of view, and the quality is greatly reduced.

しかし本形態では上記の理由により排水性が良好であるため，下側の連結部材２０における水分の滞留がほとんどない。このため水分が滞留することによる鏡本体板１１の外観の劣化は生じない。特に本形態では，鏡１０の幅方向における両端を除いた領域にてこの良好な排水性が実現されている。このため，ユーザーの目線上で特に目立ちやすい幅方向の中央を含む領域にて，外観の劣化が生じにくいようになっている。前壁２２の後面あるいは中間壁２４の後面に沿って鏡本体板１１の下面よりさらに下方に落下した水分は，穴部４３における図７等の貫通箇所を通して下方に排出される。 However, in this embodiment, since the drainage property is good for the above reason, there is almost no retention of water in the lower connecting member 20. Therefore, the appearance of the mirror body plate 11 is not deteriorated due to the retention of water. In particular, in this embodiment, this good drainage property is realized in a region excluding both ends in the width direction of the mirror 10. For this reason, deterioration of the appearance is less likely to occur in the area including the center in the width direction, which is particularly conspicuous from the user's point of view. Moisture that has fallen further below the lower surface of the mirror body plate 11 along the rear surface of the front wall 22 or the rear surface of the intermediate wall 24 is discharged downward through the penetration portion of FIG. 7 or the like in the hole portion 43.

連結部材２０は一般的には合成樹脂の成型品である。このため，正面視にてわずかに湾曲した形状のものができてしまう場合がある。しかしその湾曲の程度は，製造条件が同一であればほぼ一定である。このことにより，図９に示すように，湾曲していたとしても第１端部４１，中間凸部４４の頂部，第２端部４２の高さが同一となるようにすることができる。成型のための金型において中間凸部４４の高さを調整すればよい。これにより，成型した連結部材２０が湾曲していたとしても，鏡１０の下面をガタつきなく支持できる。図９では肉眼で認識できるように湾曲をやや大げさに描いている。実際には現物を肉眼で見ても分からない程度である。 The connecting member 20 is generally a molded product of synthetic resin. For this reason, a slightly curved shape may be formed when viewed from the front. However, the degree of curvature is almost constant if the manufacturing conditions are the same. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the heights of the first end portion 41, the top portion of the intermediate convex portion 44, and the second end portion 42 can be made the same even if they are curved. The height of the intermediate convex portion 44 may be adjusted in the mold for molding. As a result, even if the molded connecting member 20 is curved, the lower surface of the mirror 10 can be supported without rattling. In FIG. 9, the curvature is drawn slightly exaggerated so that it can be recognized with the naked eye. Actually, it is hard to tell even if you look at the actual product with the naked eye.

以上詳細に説明したように本実施の形態によれば，連結部材２０の基部４０の少なくとも一部に穴部４３を設けている。これにより鏡１０の下端に達した水分がそのまま下に落下するようにしている。このようにして，鏡１０との接触箇所に水分が滞留しにくい連結部材２０およびそれを用いたミラーキャビネット１６が実現されている。 As described in detail above, according to the present embodiment, the hole portion 43 is provided in at least a part of the base portion 40 of the connecting member 20. As a result, the water that has reached the lower end of the mirror 10 is made to fall down as it is. In this way, the connecting member 20 in which water does not easily stay at the contact point with the mirror 10 and the mirror cabinet 16 using the connecting member 20 are realized.

本実施の形態は単なる例示にすぎず，本開示技術を何ら限定するものではない。したがって本開示技術は当然に，その要旨を逸脱しない範囲内で種々の改良，変形が可能である。例えば，連結部材２０の基部４０のうち第１端部４１，第２端部４２の箇所は，不可欠な訳ではない。つまり鏡本体板１１の下面１３を中間凸部４４のみで支持するものであってもよい。あるいは，第１端部４１，第２端部４２が存在するものの，図４等に現れている中間凸部４４と同様の形状であってもよい。これらのようにすると，鏡１０の幅方向の全体において，水分の滞留による外観の劣化が抑止される効果がある。中間凸部４４の形状を，幅方向にある程度の長さを持つ形状としてもよい。 This embodiment is merely an example and does not limit the disclosed technology in any way. Therefore, as a matter of course, the disclosed technology can be improved and modified in various ways without departing from its gist. For example, of the base 40 of the connecting member 20, the first end 41 and the second end 42 are not indispensable. That is, the lower surface 13 of the mirror body plate 11 may be supported only by the intermediate convex portion 44. Alternatively, although the first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42 are present, the shape may be the same as that of the intermediate convex portion 44 appearing in FIG. 4 and the like. By doing so, there is an effect that deterioration of the appearance due to the retention of water is suppressed in the entire width direction of the mirror 10. The shape of the intermediate convex portion 44 may be a shape having a certain length in the width direction.

中間凸部４４については，その個数は問わない。その配置も必ずしも左右対称でなくても良い。ただし２個以上である場合，鏡１０の幅方向の中心に対して右端寄りの位置と左端寄りの位置との両方にあった方が，鏡１０のガタつき防止という観点では優れている。穴部４３については，必ずしも連結部材２０を上方から見たときに貫通して下側が見える形状でなくてもよい。穴部４３の形状を有底として横向きに水抜き形状を設けてもよい。 The number of the intermediate convex portions 44 does not matter. The arrangement does not necessarily have to be symmetrical. However, when there are two or more mirrors, it is better to have both the position closer to the right end and the position closer to the left end with respect to the center in the width direction of the mirror 10 from the viewpoint of preventing rattling of the mirror 10. The hole 43 does not necessarily have to have a shape that allows the lower side to be seen through the connecting member 20 when viewed from above.
