Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a mirror body, and more particularly to a mirror body capable of visually recognizing a normal image. The present invention is intended to see such a non-reversed normal image when you want to visually recognize a normal image that does not reverse left and right, that is, when you want to know exactly how you look from another person. It can be used as a mirror that can be used.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a mirror has been used to visually recognize oneself. However, what appears in the mirror is an image with the left and right reversed.

For example, if you look into a single plane mirror, you can see that the world reflected in it is reversed left and right from the world we see directly. The image in which the left and right are reversed is referred to as “reversed image” in the present specification, and the image in which the left and right are not reversed is referred to as “normal image”. The real image (the image seen by others) is a normal image in which the left and right are not reversed.

The reason why an image obtained by one plane mirror is an inverted image will be described below. Please refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. On the reflecting surface of the mirror, the light entering the right eye and the left eye are reversed left and right, and for example, the character “A” in FIG. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 7, when one's face is reflected in a mirror, an image that is reversed left and right is visually recognized.

[0005] The above can be said to be a major drawback when viewing the figure with a single plane mirror. If it is completely symmetrical, it may be said that the impression does not change so much even if it is an inverted image, but it still has at least a sense of incongruity and is not the same as the impression of a normal image. On the other hand, in the case of left-right asymmetry, the normal image and the inverted image have completely different impressions, and give a completely different impression. In addition, usually, it is not completely symmetrical. In particular, the face, body, facial expression, behavior, clothing, accessories, and belongings of the person cannot be symmetrical. Nevertheless, in many cases, a person sees a reversal image obtained by a single plane mirror, recognizes himself, and checks or evaluates himself by the reversal image.

[0006] In fact, for giving a different feeling between the normal image and the inverted image, for example, from a negative of a portrait of a person, a print of the inverted image and a print of the normal image are made one by one and compared. You can see that their impressions are quite different.

[0007] The basic purpose of a mirror is "How do you see yourself from other people?", But with a single plane mirror, the normal image seen by others cannot be obtained, You can only get an image.

[0008] In everyday life, there is no lack of means for obtaining a normal image. For example, to show on a television camera and watch it on a monitor, or get a photo or portrait. But these are by no means easy. It is not suitable for the use of "checking yourself a little before going out" like using a conventional mirror.

[0009]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 As described above, conventionally, only an inverted image can be obtained by a mirror, and even if a normal image is to be viewed, it cannot be easily obtained. The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mirror body which can easily obtain a normal image and visually recognize the normal image. In this case, such a mirror is practically easy to make, and therefore can be provided at a low cost, and a stable image can be obtained. No special maintenance is required, and the mirror can be easily used on a daily basis. It is hoped that it is.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, a mirror that can visually recognize a normal image according to the invention of claim 1 of the present application is configured by connecting a pair of (two) mirror surfaces in an arrangement in which the mirror surfaces are at right angles to each other, A transparent plate is placed on the front side of the mirror surface.

Moreover, it can be formed simply by connecting two mirror surfaces in a specific positional relationship, can be provided easily and inexpensively, and can be used easily like a conventional mirror. In addition, since the transparent plate is arranged on the front surface on the mirror surface side, it can be formed, for example, by joining three plates, and it is easy to make a strong structure. Since the transparent plate comes in front of the mirror surface to be viewed, it also has the function of protection and prevention of dirt, which is advantageous for maintenance.

[0015] In this configuration, the side surface of the right-angled triangular prism is further configured by three surfaces, so that it is easier to make and more robust. In addition, since it forms a right-angled triangular prism, the mirror itself can be stably stood. Therefore, it can be easily used by standing on an appropriate place such as a bookshelf or desk with the mirror side facing forward. Also, as described above, the two mirror surfaces and the transparent plate are integrated to form a right-angled triangular prism, so that it can be manufactured easily and robustly, has maintenance advantages, is easy to use, and has a stable image. can get.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference examples for comparison are also described. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.

Before describing specific embodiments, the principle of the present invention will be described. Please refer to FIG. 8 and FIG.

Basically, in order to obtain a normal image, two plane mirrors should be used and arranged at a position where a pair of mirror surfaces 1A and 1B can intersect with each other and at a position facing each other. No. FIG. 8 shows a case in which the character “A” is viewed as the object to be visually recognized 41. The to-be-viewed body 41 is visually recognized by the viewer 5 as a normal image 42. This is because “a” of the object to be visually recognized 41 becomes an inverted image 43 on the mirror surface 1B, which is further inverted on the mirror surface 1A. As a result of the two reflections caused by the pair of mirror surfaces 1A and 1B composed of the two plane mirrors as described above, the left-right reversal also occurs twice, and the reflection image twice, that is, the normal image is obtained. It is.

FIG. 8 shows a case where the object to be visually recognized 41 is the viewer 5 itself, that is, a case where the viewer sees himself. Also in this case, two reflections occur due to the pair of mirror surfaces 1A and 1B composed of two plane mirrors, and the inverted image 43 becomes the normal image 42, which is visually recognized by the viewer 5. Thus, the viewer 5 can see his or her normal image.

Next, reference is made to FIG. 10 and FIG. In both cases, the object to be visually recognized 41 is the viewer 5 himself, and looks at himself. Particularly, FIG. 10 shows the case where the right eye R of the normal image 42, which is a twice reflected image, is seen, and FIG. Also shows a case where the left eye L is seen. At this time, the mirror surface 1A and the mirror surface 1B must be orthogonal to each other in order to correctly look back at the eyes of the normal image 42 (two-time reflection image) that is viewed. It is desirable that the gap between the pair of mirror surfaces 1A and 1B be as small as possible. This is because the eyes are reflected here. In the figure, the position where the pupil is reflected is indicated by the symbol E. If the gap between the pair of mirror surfaces 1A and 1B is large, there is a possibility that "checking the expression when one looks at the other party" may be hindered.

FIG. 12 illustrates the above-described mechanism in a further enlarged manner. In FIG. 12, in order for the left eye L of the viewer 5 (the object 41 to be visually recognized) and the left eye L ′ of the normal image 42 to be accurately viewed, the mirror surface 1A and the mirror surface 1B must be orthogonal to each other. In addition, the gap between the mirror surfaces 1A and 1B must be as small as possible. The light 51 incident on the mirror surface 1B from the left eye L of the viewer 5 and the reflected light 52 from the mirror surface 1B need to form the same angle (indicated by a circle in the figure) with respect to the mirror surface 1B. The light (reflected light 52) reflected on the mirror surface 1B and incident on the mirror surface 1A, and the light 53 reflected on the mirror surface 1A and incident on the viewer 5 are also at the same angle with respect to the mirror surface 1A (triangle in the figure). (Indicated by a mark). This is achieved by the mirror surfaces 1A and 1B being orthogonal. Thus, the light 54 at the position where the left eye L ′ of the normal image 42 and the viewer 5 face each other matches, and it is possible to view the image so as to accurately look at each other.

FIG. 13 shows, for example, a case where the size of a figure is set. For example, when you are wearing kimono, you will be able to see yourself in the correct appearance of the unique kimono.

Next, as described above, it is shown how a pair of mirror surfaces, which are preferably orthogonal to each other and preferably perpendicular to each other without any gap, are specifically configured to form a preferred embodiment (FIGS. 1 and 2). This will be described using the specific example shown in FIG. 2). However, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated and specifically described examples. 3 to 5 show comparative reference examples. The description will be made with appropriate reference to comparison.

Embodiment 1 FIGS. 1 and 2 show a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the present invention is embodied in a form that can be easily and conveniently used at any time, such as on a desk or a chest of drawers.

FIG. 1 shows a configuration of the mirror body of the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows a use state of the mirror body of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1A, the mirror body of the present embodiment is formed by forming plates 21, 22, 3 made of three transparent bodies in the shape of a right-angled isosceles triangular prism as a whole. The inner surfaces of the plates 21 and 22 corresponding to the isosceles of the right-angled isosceles triangle constituting the right-angled isosceles triangular prism are made to be mirror surfaces. Thus, the mirror surfaces 1A and 1B are orthogonal to each other and are connected without any gap. The mirror surfaces 1A and 1B may be mirror-finished or mirror-finished by applying a film-like mirror to the corresponding surfaces. The plate 3 remains a transparent plate. As a result, the normal image according to the present invention, in which the pair of mirror surfaces 1A and 1B are connected in an arrangement where the mirror surfaces 1A and 1B are at right angles to each other and the transparent plate 3 is disposed on the front surface on the mirror surfaces 1A and 1B side, is obtained. The mirror should be visible.

This embodiment has a configuration in which two surfaces sandwiching a right angle of a right angle prism are anti-slope surfaces. If the plates 21, 22, 3 are formed of a transparent material such as acrylic resin, for example, it can be manufactured so that the right-angled corner is very narrow. Mirror surfaces 1A and 1B having stable planarity can be formed by a technique such as sputtering. In addition, it is possible to obtain a product in which the pair of mirror surfaces 1A and 1B (two reflecting surfaces) are exactly perpendicular to each other, and at the same time, the gap between the perpendicular portions is very narrow.

In the example of FIG. 1A, a right-angled isosceles triangular prism is almost exactly formed. As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, a right-angled triangular prism is used. Even for products that are not isosceles triangular prisms, for example, when the two angles are 48 ° and 42 °, the function of the mirror is almost the same.

In the case of using a film-shaped mirror 13 as in the reference example shown in FIG. 4, the production cost is high, there is a problem in maintenance, and there is a problem in product stability.

As in the reference example shown in FIG. 5, it is difficult to form a structure in which a normal image is accurately obtained by forming the glass plate 14 or the like and using the mirror surface 15 on the back surface (see FIG. 5). See optical path).

In this example, as shown in FIG. 2, a face or the like can be projected at any time by placing it on a bookshelf or a desk. It can be combined with a light source such as a fluorescent lamp, and it can also be designed and manufactured so that it also has the functions of a radio and an alarm clock.

As described above, the mirror body according to the present embodiment, which can visually recognize the normal image shown in FIG. 1A, has a pair (two surfaces) of mirror surfaces 1A and 1B, and a mirror surface 1A and 1B. Are connected at right angles to each other, and the transparent plate 3 is disposed on the front surface of the mirror surfaces 1A and 1B, so that a normal image can be visually recognized. This can be formed simply by connecting the two mirror surfaces 1A and 1B in a specific positional relationship, can be provided easily, at low cost, and can be used easily as in a conventional mirror. Since the transparent plate 3 is arranged on the front surface of the mirror surfaces 1A and 1B, it can be formed, for example, by joining three plates, and can be made robust. In addition, since the transparent plate 3 comes to the front of the mirror surfaces 1A and 1B to be visually recognized, the transparent plate 3 also has a function of protection or dirt prevention, which is advantageous for maintenance. Since it can be made into a stable shape, it is easy to use and an image can be obtained stably.

In addition, since the mirror body according to this embodiment, which allows a normal image to be viewed, is formed by integrating the pair of mirror surfaces 1A and 1B and the transparent plate 3, it can be manufactured more easily and durably. , Images can be obtained stably.

In particular, in the mirror according to the present embodiment, which allows a normal image to be visually recognized, two transparent bodies 21 and 22 are connected at a right angle to each other, and two surfaces sandwiching the right angle are mirror surfaces 1A and 1B. The transparent plate 3 is arranged on the front side of the mirror surfaces 1A and 1B, so that at least the side surface of the right triangular prism is constituted as a whole. The mirror itself can be stabilized. For this reason, it can be easily used by standing on an appropriate place such as a bookshelf or desk with the mirror side facing forward.

In particular, since the mirror according to the present embodiment, which can visually recognize the normal image, has a structure constituting at least the side surface of the right-angled isosceles triangular prism, it is easy to make, strong, and the mirror itself stably stands. The above-mentioned operation and effect that can be performed are further promoted.

It is needless to say that the right-angled triangular prism or the right-angled isosceles triangular prism may have a vertically-extracted structure composed only of side surfaces, or may have a structure having a top surface, a bottom surface, or both surfaces. No.

Further, here, the two transparent bodies 21 and 22 constituting the mirror surface and the transparent plate 3 arranged on the front surface are integrally formed. For example, three sheets were fixed with an adhesive or fused. As a result, a durable and stable product was easily obtained.

Here, the two transparent bodies 21 and 22 constituting the mirror surface and the transparent plate 3 arranged on the front surface are each made of a transparent resin. In particular, the acrylic resin plate 3 is made of acrylic resin. It can be configured by combining the sheets. The two surfaces were mirror-finished or a film-like mirror was adhered, and the mirror surface was obtained. According to this example, the transparent resin was easy to process, hard to break, and light, so it was practically used. It is advantageous. Glass requires optical polishing and tends to be expensive and heavy, but in this example there is no concern. Mirrors made of stainless steel and other metals are inferior to those in this example in terms of processing, weight and ease of use.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, the present invention can be implemented by forming an integral right-angled triangular prism from a transparent material, and forming two surfaces sandwiching the right angle into mirror surfaces 1A and 1B. In this case, it is desirable that the right-angle ridge 1C sandwiching the mirror surfaces 1A and 1B form an extremely sharp right angle so as to obtain a good normal image.

In this configuration, an integral, that is, a non-empty, right-angled triangular prism is formed of, for example, optical glass or transparent resin, and two surfaces sandwiching the right angle (right-angled ridge 1C) are formed by, for example, atomic vapor deposition or sputtering of aluminum. Can be obtained by mirror-finish the mirror surfaces 1A and 1B by the method described in (1). This has the advantage that a highly accurate and extremely stable product can be easily formed. For example, accurate and effective products can be obtained relatively easily by forming a solid right-angled triangular prism by integral molding with acrylic resin.
