Description

The present invention makes it possible to move the mirror to any desired position without undue effort when performing operations such as shaving while looking at the face with a mirror, while maintaining the position without using both hands (or one hand). It is related with the material of a member, the order of connection, the number, and a mechanism for working in a proper posture.

Use of a mirror that has been processed into a shape that can be easily held by hand.
Alternatively, a fixed mirror represented by a washstand or dresser is used.

If the mirror is held by hand, the hand used is not free and workability is poor.

When a general washbasin or dresser is used, there is a sink and a table at the bottom, and the distance between the eyes and the mirror is widened so that the reflected image is difficult to see, and the eyes are brought close to the mirror. This leads to an unstable forward bending posture and increases the burden on the waist.

When removing dirt from a fixed mirror such as a wash basin, it is necessary to wipe it off in consideration of the installation location. It is good for glass, but for acrylic materials it is easy to get scratches due to light weight. Deteriorate.

When a mirror is attached to the tip of an arm-shaped member fixed to a wall or the like, the arm-shaped member needs to have a certain length, and even a lightweight mirror can be moved to any desired position and its position. In order to prevent the arm-shaped member from falling down due to its own weight, such as a mirror, the movable part (especially the movable part that can be bent on the wall surface side) must be sturdy or complex in design. Considering the place to use, it is not realistic in terms of cost, space, visual and mechanical.

In claim 1, a mirror (mirror 1) having a detachable mechanism, an arm-like member (spherical joint joint arm 8) having an arbitrary length, and a spherical surface fixed to a wall surface (wall surface 15). The jointed member (spherical joint joint arm 12) is connected using two bendable connecting members (joints 5, 6, 7 and joints 9, 10, 11), and the mirror (mirror 1) is attached to a wall or the like. It can be moved to any desired position and angle within the range of the length from the fixed part to the mirror, and the position and angle are held by the device itself using an elastic member (elastic member 16). It is a mirror characterized by being capable of being made of lightweight materials such as acrylic for weight reduction except for the removable members (members 2 and 3 removable by 2 and 3) and the suction cups (suckers 13 and 14) shown in FIG. It is what was used. In Claim 2, it attached to the front-end | tip part or front-end | tip part of the arm-like (spherical joint joint arm 8) fixed in the state which can bend a mirror (mirror 1) and one side to a wall surface etc. (wall surface etc. 15) By attaching detachable members (members 2 and 3 detachable with 2 and 3 such as hook-and-loop fasteners) to each spherical jointed member (spherical jointed plate 4), the product of the present invention (FIG. 1) and mirror (Mirror 1) can be easily attached and detached, and even if it is a material such as an acrylic material, it is possible to remove dirt without damaging it by washing it with a detergent while running water.
4. The bendable connecting member according to claim 3, wherein two spherical joint receiving joints (spherical joint receiving joints 5 and 7) are connected to both ends of the spherical joint joint (spherical joint 6). Alternatively, a bent joint in which the joint with a spherical joint (joint 6 with a spherical joint) and the spherical joint joint (spherical joint joint 7) is replaced with a spherical joint joint member with a spherical joint having both functions as a single unit (FIG. 3). By using a possible connecting member, the connecting member with the minimum number of members is a connecting member that can be bent to a substantially free position and angle.
In claim 4, at one end of an arm-shaped member (spherical joint joint arm 8) having an arbitrary length, two spherical joint receiving joints at both ends of the spherical joint (spherical joint 6) ( A member having a spherical joint (a plate 4 with a spherical joint) is connected by a connecting member that can be bent by connecting the spherical joint receiving joints 5 and 7). A member (with a spherical joint) having a spherical joint fixed to a wall surface (wall surface 15 or the like) by a connecting member (spherical joint joint 10 and spherical joint receiving joints 9 and 11) similar to the above on the other end. By connecting the joint arm 12), only one arm-shaped member (joint arm 8 with a spherical joint) having an arbitrary length can be bent to almost free positions and angles. The mechanism is simple and minimizes the number of members.
In claim 5, connecting members (joints 5, 6, 7 and joints 9, 10 having a plurality of bendable spherical joints and the like at both ends of an arm-like member (spherical joint joint arm 8) having an arbitrary length. 11), a mirror (mirror 1) or a member (spherical joint plate 4) fixed to the mirror (mirror 1) and a member (spherical joint joint arm 12) fixed to a wall surface (wall surface 15). The mirror (mirror 1) can be moved to any desired position and angle.
In Claim 6, the member (spherical joint joint arm 12) fixed to the wall surface etc. which were connected in the state where each can be bent, and the arm-shaped member (spherical joint joint arm 8) which has arbitrary lengths Are connected by an elastic member (elastic member 16), and a side not connected by a bendable arm-like member (joint arm 8 with a spherical joint) (part of mirror 1 in the present invention product) A simple mechanism to prevent lodging due to its own weight.

When working with a shave while looking at the face with a mirror, the mirror can be placed at the desired position and angle using the connection method of the present invention, so you can work with a natural body that does not put a burden on your waist in a washroom etc. Can be used.
The mirror can be easily removed, and even a lightweight mirror can be cleaned with a detergent while pouring tap water, so it is always clean and not scratched.
Since it is an inexpensive lightweight member (acrylic, etc.) and has a small number of components, it is space-saving and there is no visual intimidation, so it can be installed without hesitation in a washroom where the product can be used most.
Although the elastic member can be deteriorated due to aging, it can be used as a consumable because rubber bands can be used and is inexpensive and easy to replace. In addition, it is easy to maintain and maintain with a simple mechanism.

It is a side sketch of the present invention. (Including partial cross-sectional view) It is a sketch of the code | symbol 5, 7, 9, 11 of "FIG. 1". FIG. 12 is a sketch of the substitutable members 5, 7 and 9, 11 of “FIG.
