Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a fixing structure for mounting a mirror on a wall or the like.

2. Description of the Related Art A mirror fixed using a wall in a washroom or the like is supported at its upper and lower sides by metal fittings. FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b) show a typical example of a mirror fixing structure using a conventional mirror fitting.

In the figure, a lower end of a mirror M arranged along a wall W is placed on an L-shaped support bracket (not shown) fixed in advance to the wall W, and an upper end is restrained by a mirror stopper 20 shown in FIG.
Fixed to The mirror stopper 20 is made of a metal plate having an inverted L-shaped vertical cross section, and forms an elliptical hole 20b on the back surface that forms a holding portion 20a at the upper end and abuts against the wall W,
Further, a cushioning member 21 for receiving the rear surface of the mirror M is attached to the front surface.

 The attachment of the mirror stopper 20 is performed in the following manner.

First, after fixing the support bracket at the lower end, the mirror M is placed on this, and the level at the upper end is confirmed. As shown in FIG.
22 is passed through the hole 23 and temporarily fixed at a position slightly higher than the level. The temporary fixing is performed so that the mirror stopper 20 can be pushed downward and can be moved, and the mirror M is fixed so that the mirror M does not wobble. Thereafter, the mirror stopper 20 is pushed down to restrain the upper end of the mirror M by the holding portion 20a as shown in FIG. 5B, and the rear surface of the mirror M is supported by the cushioning material 21 and fixed to the wall W.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, when the wall W is strongly tightened with the screw 22 in order to temporarily fix the mirror stopper 20 to the extent that it is pushed down,
The mirror stopper 20 cannot be pushed down.
I had to loosen 22 and the work was troublesome. Especially,
Since the manner of tightening the screw 22 differs depending on the worker in the field work, such a problem of the tightening of the mirror fastener 20 cannot be ignored at present.

A problem to be solved in the present invention is to make it possible to easily fix a mirror to a wall or the like regardless of the skill of an operator.

[Means for solving the problem]

The present invention is directed to a cushioning member having a fixed seat fixed to a mounting surface such as a wall, a spacer portion integrally provided at a distance between the fixed seat and a front surface of the fixed seat, the fixed seat and the cushioning material. A mirror stopper having an opening for extrapolating the spacer portion interposed therebetween and having an upper holding portion for restraining the upper end of the mirror on the upper side, wherein the mirror stopper is provided on the spacer portion. A ring made of an elastic material elastically fitted to the inner peripheral edge of the opening of the fitting is provided, and the opening of the mirror stopper is provided with a projection that engages with the ring and regulates its removal. And

[Action]

With the spacer interposed in the opening of the mirror stopper, the fixed seat, the mirror stopper, and the cushioning member are connected.
Then, the fixing seat integrated with the spacer portion is firmly fixed to a mounting surface such as a wall with screws. Even in this state, the mirror stopper can freely move depending on the thickness of the spacer portion.

First, the mirror stopper is set at a position slightly displaced upward, then the mirror is pressed against the cushioning material, and the mirror stopper is slid downward, whereby the upper end of the mirror is restrained by the holder of the mirror stopper. At this time, the spacer part is firmly fitted to the upper part of the opening of the mirror fitting.

As described above, the fixing seat and the cushioning material are fixed to the mounting surface in advance, and the opening of the mirror stopper is slid and fitted to the spacer portion of the cushioning member, thereby fixing the mirror stopper to the mounting surface. And the mirror can be fixed at the same time. Also,
By providing a protrusion made of an elastic material in the spacer portion and opening the mirror stopper in the opening of the mirror stopper, when the mirror is fixed, the engagement force of the protrusion on the ring allows the mirror stopper to be used. The mirror can be restrained exactly on the fixed seat side, and the mirror can be stably held.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of members used for a mirror fixing structure of the present invention. These members are a mirror stopper 1 for restraining the upper end of a mirror M and a mirror stopper as in the conventional example. The fixing seat 2 includes a fixed seat 2 and a cushioning material 3 for restraining the fixed seat 1 on the wall W side, and a screw 4 for fixing the fixed seat 2 and the cushioning material 3 to the wall W.

2 (a) and 2 (b) are a front view and a side view of the mirror fitting 1, respectively. The mirror fitting 1 has a holding portion 1a at the upper end, a mounting portion 1b extending downward from the holding portion 1a, and an opening 1c formed in the mounting portion 1b.
Is formed. The opening 1c is formed in a convex shape, the upper opening 1d is formed in a size that fits into the spacer portion described later, and the lower opening 1e is formed in a size larger than the spacer portion.

A projection 5 is provided at an intermediate portion to fix the spacer portion. In addition, the lower side of the protrusion 5 is formed in an inclined shape so that the spacer portion can easily slide.

The mirror mounting seat 6 is composed of the fixed seat 2 and the cushioning material 3, as shown in FIG. The fixed seat 2 is a metal plate material, and has a hole 7 for inserting the screw 4 in the center.
The size of the fixed seat 2 is wider than the opening 1c. The cushioning member 3 is made of synthetic resin, and the spacer portion 8 and the projection 9 are formed integrally. A rubber ring 10 is adhered to the periphery of the spacer portion 8 and the fixing seat 2 is further adhered to the spacer portion 8, so that the structure is less prone to cracking. The spacer portion 8 is formed in a quadrilateral shape, and the size in the width direction is slightly larger than the upper opening 1d so that the protrusion 5 can bite into the ring 10. Further, the thickness of the spacer portion 8 is larger than the thickness of the mirror stopper 1 so that the stopper 1 can slide freely. The projections 9 are formed at the four corners of the cushioning material 3 and are formed of rubber or the like that can be elastically deformed when the mirror M touches and presses the projections 9.

The procedure for fixing the mirror M to the wall W using the above members is as follows.

First, after the mounting height of the mirror M is determined, the screw fixing type mirror stopper (not shown) shown in the conventional example is mounted on the wall W in accordance with the position of the lower end of the mirror M. 4 (a) and 4 (b), together with the position of the mirror stopper on the lower end side, as shown in FIGS. The material 3 is fixed to the wall W with screws 4. At this time, the fixing seat 2 can be strongly fixed via the spacer portion 8 of the cushioning material 3 by strongly tightening the screw 4.

After the two fixed seats 2 and the like are attached to the wall W so as to match the both ends of the mirror M, the lower side of the mirror M is held by the lower end metal fittings, and the back surface of the upper end is formed on the projection 9 of the cushioning material 3. Strike. Then, the mirror stopper 1 is pushed downward until the holding portion 1a completely covers the upper end of the mirror M and the spacer portion 8 is completely inserted into the upper opening 1d. In this state, the protrusion 5 is
And the mirror stopper 1 is fixed to the cushioning material 3, and the mirror M is firmly fixed to the projection 5 and the holding portion 1a.

In the construction described above, the worker performs the operation of fixing the cushioning material 3 and the fixing seat 2 to the wall W with the screw 4 and the operation of fixing the mirror M by sliding the mirror stopper 1. Among them, fixed seat 2
The operation of fixing the cushioning material 3 to the wall W is only an operation of strongly tightening the screw 4, and is uniformly and firmly fixed regardless of the manner of operation. Further, the mirror stopper 1 itself can be slid smoothly regardless of the skill of the operator, and the spacer 8 is firmly fixed to the upper opening 1d.

In this way, by simply fixing the screw 4 to the wall W, the fixing of the mirror stopper 1 to the wall W and the holding of the mirror M can be performed reliably and easily, and the skill and experience of the worker can be improved. Stable construction can be performed without being affected.

[Effect of the invention]

In the present invention, the mirror is mounted after the fixing seat and the cushioning material are strongly fixed to the mounting surface such as a wall with screws. For this reason, the fixation of the mirror stopper and the restraint of the mirror by the mirror stopper are uniform regardless of the working method, and the skill and experience in the tightening degree of the screw using only the mirror stopper and the screw as in the conventional case are obtained. Compared with the required construction, it is only necessary to fix the fixing seat and the cushioning material to the wall with screws, which simplifies the operation and stably fixes the mirror to the wall. In addition, since the mirror stopper and the cushioning material are connected, it is not necessary to find the position of the spacer portion when fixing the mirror stopper,
Work can be done smoothly.
