[Prior art]

 In recent years, as the aging of society has progressed, there has been a call for enhanced medical care for the elderly or nursing care for the elderly, and large-scale hardware such as hospital facilities or other medical / welfare facilities is being prepared every day. However, it can be said that there is still a shortage of daily-use-level small-scale hardware to support sick people, such as bedridden elderly people, who have difficulty in moving their bodies, to spend their daily lives comfortably. I can't.

[0003] For example, a sick person who has difficulty moving his / her head or upper body can immediately know who has entered the room because his / her field of view is fixed upward or sideways when sleeping in a bed. I am not able to do this, and I feel inconvenience when visiting doctors and nurses and visiting visitors.

On the other hand, the number of women walking alone at night such as after returning from work is increasing year by year with the advancement of women into society, and such women are easily targeted by suspicious persons such as molesters and snatches. For this reason, women who walk alone at night have conventionally carried security buzzers or tear sprays, etc. as crime prevention products to protect themselves. However, since all of these security products are activated only after the user knows that the suspicious person is approaching, if the suspicious person wraps around from behind and approaches, the operation will be delayed. There is. Therefore, with the increasing importance of crisis management, even if a suspicious person tries to approach from the outside of the field of vision, such as from the rear, he / she can immediately detect the suspicious person without being noticed and operate the crime prevention article appropriately. There is a need for crime prevention equipment that can enable and secure time to move to risk avoidance operations. However, despite this need, this type of security equipment still did not exist. This type of security equipment may also be necessary for professionals who provide security services such as guardmen.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and a sick person whose head is difficult to move can easily see the surroundings, or a woman walking alone at night can see the rear without looking back. The objective is to provide a hand mirror that enables the field of view to be expanded, such as when viewing.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The hand mirror of the present invention is characterized by comprising a mirror body having a mirror provided on the upper surface thereof, and a wrist band at least partially fixed to the mirror body.

Further, it is preferable that the mirror is provided so as to be inclined with respect to an axial direction of the mirror body.

Moreover, it is preferable that a mark is provided on the upper surface of the mirror body to indicate the tilt direction of the mirror.

Further, it is preferable that an adhesive cloth is provided on at least a part of the back surface of the wristband.

The hand mirror of the present invention is used by attaching it to a user's wrist using a wristband. For example, if a sick person uses a hand mirror, even if he / she is lying in bed with his / her head immobile, a slight movement of his / her arm causes the mirror to reflect the environment around the bed. The person entering the room can be easily identified. In addition, when used by a woman walking alone at night, without looking back, you can easily see the back by simply moving the arm and adjusting the angle of the mirror appropriately. The approach of a suspicious person can be detected early, and the crime prevention effect becomes extremely high.

[Embodiment of device]

 Next, the hand mirror of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the hand mirror of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a view of the hand mirror of FIG. 1 seen from the back, FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line III-III of the hand mirror of FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of the use of the hand mirror shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing another embodiment of the hand mirror of the present invention.

The hand mirror shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is composed of a mirror body 1 having a mirror 2 provided on the upper surface thereof and a wrist band 3 fixed to the back surface of the mirror body 1.

The mirror body 1 can be made of a synthetic resin such as polypropylene or ABS resin, and has a shape in which the upper surface of a cylinder is inclined with respect to the axial direction. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, a recess 4 is formed on the upper surface of the mirror body 1 with a uniform depth, and the mirror 2 is fitted inside the recess 4. The hand mirror can be easily assembled by fitting the mirror 2 into the recess 4. The mirror 2 is fixed to the inner surface of the recess 4 with an adhesive. Therefore, the mirror 2 fixed inside the recess 4 is inclined with respect to the axial direction Z of the mirror body 1.

The tilt angle θ of the mirror 2 is not particularly limited in the present invention, but is usually 3 to 15 degrees, preferably 5 to 10 degrees.

In addition, as a mark for indicating the tilt direction M of the mirror 2, from the concave portion whose inside is colored red near the uppermost position and the lowermost position of the mirror 2 on the upper surface of the mirror body 1. The respective marks 5 are provided. By looking at the positions of the two marks 5, the tilt direction M of the mirror 2 can be easily known. In this embodiment, the two red recesses are described as the marks by way of example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and, for example, arrows-shaped marks may be used.

As shown in FIG. 3, the mirror 2 is a reflection plate made by depositing silver or adhering an aluminum thin film on the back surface of a transparent plate 2a made of a glass material or a resin material such as PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate). It is produced by providing 2b. Particularly, when PMMA is used, there is no risk of injury even if it breaks, which is preferable. The surface of the mirror may be flat, but in order to obtain a wide field of view, it is preferable to employ a convex mirror having an R (R) of about 700 to 1200.

As shown in FIG. 2, the wristband 3 is formed by covering a surface of a belt-shaped base material 3a made of expanded polystyrene or the like with a slightly fluffy cloth piece 3b made of a synthetic resin so that both end edges of the cloth piece 3b are covered. It is produced by wrapping the material around the back surface of the base material 3a and then sewn it, and further fixing an adhesive cloth 6 having a large number of hook-shaped projections formed on the back surface at one end of the wrist band 3. The mirror 2 is adhered to the wristband 3. With this configuration, when the hand mirror is attached, the wrist band 3 can be wrapped around the arm and then the adhesive cloth 6 can be attached to the surface of the other end of the wrist band 3 to easily attach the hand mirror. . Further, when removing the wristband 3, it can be easily removed only by peeling off the adhesive cloth 6. Such attachment / detachment of the adhesive cloth 6 is very convenient for an old man who is not good at delicate manual work. In the present embodiment, an example in which the adhesive cloth 6 is adhered to the cloth piece 3b has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and instead of the cloth piece, the surface of the other end of the wristband 3 may be used. Even if an adhesive cloth having a large number of loop-shaped projections is fixed, the above-mentioned effect can be obtained.

Further, although the wristband having the adhesive cloth has been described as an example in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and a belt holder is attached to one end and a plurality of holes are formed. You may use the belt provided at equal intervals. Alternatively, the wrist band may be made of synthetic resin, and a protrusion may be formed on the bottom surface of the mirror, and the protrusion may be fitted into a hole formed in the wrist band to integrate the two.

Further, the wrist band may be a single continuous band, or a wrist band may be divided into two and fixed to the side surface of the mirror body 1 respectively.

The hand mirror configured as described above is used by being worn on the wrist of the user using the wristband 3. For example, when a sick person uses a hand mirror, as shown in Fig. 4, even if he / she is lying in bed with his / her head still immovable, a slight movement of his / her arm causes the mirror to show the surroundings of the bed. .

In addition, when used by a woman walking alone at night or a guard man, it is possible to easily know the rear state by moving the arm and adjusting the angle of the mirror appropriately without looking back. Therefore, the presence of a suspicious person and the approach of a suspicious person can be detected early, and the crime prevention effect is extremely high. Furthermore, in a business environment, for example, a person operating a terminal can know the situation behind him without looking back.

In the above embodiment, the fixed type hand mirror in which the mirror is fixed in the tilt direction has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable hand mirror shown in FIG. It may be a hand mirror. The hand mirror shown in FIG. 5 is divided into a mirror body upper part 7a and a mirror body lower part 7b by dividing the mirror body 7 into upper and lower parts, which are connected to each other by a connecting portion 7c. The connecting portion 7c has a structure for rotatably supporting the upper part 7a of the mirror body. For example, an annular protrusion provided on the inner surface of the upper part 7a of the mirror body and the protrusion 7c on the outer surface of the lower part 7b of the mirror body. And correspondingly formed annular grooves. Therefore, since the mirror main body upper portion 7a is rotatably supported on the upper portion of the mirror main body lower portion 7b by the fitting of the projection and the groove, the mirror 2 is rotated at an arbitrary angle with respect to the wrist band 3. be able to.
