DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a vanity table.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a vanity table has been commercialized in which a washbasin can be moved up and down according to a user and fixed at a desired height so that a wheelchair user or a child can easily use it.
In such a vanity table, the mirror on the top is moved up and down together with the vanity ball.

However, the combined weight of the washbasin and the mirror part is heavy, and the up-and-down movement structure must be considerably rugged.
High costs were incurred. In addition, if the weight is heavy, there is a problem that a wheelchair user or a child needs force to move up and down, which makes it difficult to operate.

[0004]

Therefore, a configuration has been considered in which the mirror portion is fixed, and only the wash ball and the ball supporting portion for supporting the same are vertically moved. In this case, the ball support is configured to move up and down on the front side of the mirror.

[0005] However, in this case, when the ball support is moved upward, the upper portion of the ball support protrudes from the lower side of the front of the mirror, and the lower part of the mirror cannot be used. Inconvenient. Bringing something like a hand mirror separately to the front side of the upper part of the ball support is also inconvenient.

[0006] The present invention is to solve such a problem.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a mirror cabinet fixed to a wall of a house or the like in a non-movable state and having a main mirror portion on the front surface, a wash ball located below the mirror cabinet, and a wash surface. In a vanity stand comprising a ball fixed and a ball support moving up and down together with the wash ball, a second mirror cabinet is provided in the ball support above the wash ball, and the ball support is configured to move when the ball moves upward. A second mirror cabinet is inserted and stored in the mirror cabinet from below,
At the time of downward movement, the second mirror cabinet is configured to protrude downward from inside the mirror cabinet.

[0008] Further, an auxiliary mirror portion is arranged on the front surface of the second mirror cabinet. Further, the auxiliary mirror section is configured to be inserted and housed in the mirror cabinet from below when the ball support section moves up, and to go down from inside the mirror cabinet when moving down.

The movable cabinet 3 is attached to the upper part of the washbasin 9, and when the movable cabinet 3 is moved to the uppermost position, the inside of the mirror cabinet 2, that is, the large mirror portion 5 and the small mirror portion 6 of the mirror cabinet 2 are moved. The second mirror cabinet 1 which is completely inserted and stored in the rear side and appears when the movable cabinet 3 is moved to the lowermost position.
7. The front of the second mirror cabinet 17 and the large mirror section 5
And a second mirror portion 18 serving as an auxiliary mirror portion disposed on the back surface of the second mirror portion.

The operation lever 16 is disposed within the outer peripheral edge 9a of the basin ball 9, and the outer peripheral edge 9a
Is viewed from a cutout portion 9b which is cut out in a substantially semicircular arc shape on the front surface of the light emitting device. With this configuration, while the user is using,
Inadvertent contact with the operation lever 16 to prevent the height from being changed is prevented.

When the movable cabinet 3 is moved downward, that is, when the washbasin 9 is moved downward, the large mirror 5 and the small mirror 6 are fixed to the wall surface 4. So it remains above. If a short user such as a child or a wheelchair user uses the washbasin 9 while lowering it, the large mirror unit 5 and the small mirror unit 6
Is located at a high position and cannot be seen. However, since the second mirror unit 18 is arranged in the second mirror cabinet 17 that appears when the movable cabinet 3 is moved downward, the second mirror unit 18 can be seen.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a front panel that hides piping and the like that appear below the inspection panel 15 when the movable cabinet 3 is moved upward.

In FIG. 3, 20 is fixed to the wall surface 4,
A main frame for fixing the mirror cabinet 2 and the front panel 19; a reinforcing member 21 provided at an appropriate position on the main frame 20; a right rail 22 for controlling the movement of the movable cabinet 3; Rails 24 are rail connecting members for connecting the right rail 22 and the left rail 23 so as to be vertically movable, and 25 is a rail connecting member 2
A movable frame 26 connected to the movable frame 5 and forming a frame of the movable cabinet 3 is connected to the movable frame 25 and a lower portion of the main frame 19, and a gas spring for fixing and holding the movable cabinet 3 at a desired height of a user. , 27
Is an elevating mechanism which is connected to the operation lever 16 and switches between a state in which the gas spring 25 can be moved up and down and a fixed holding state.

In such a configuration, a short user
When lowering the movable cabinet 3, that is, lowering the position of the washbasin, first, the notch 9 in the front of the washbasin 9 is used.
b. Grasp the operation lever 16 peeping from b with one hand and lift it slightly. At this time, the operation is transmitted from the operation lever 16 to the elevating mechanism 27, and the gas spring 26 is made movable up and down.

Then, the upper surface of the wash ball 9 is pushed down to a desired position with the other open hand. Then
As the washbasin 9 drops, the mirror cabinet 2
A second mirror cabinet appears together with the second mirror section 18 at the lower part of the box. When the wash ball 9 reaches a desired position, the hand holding the operation lever 16 is released. At this time, this operation is transmitted from the operation lever 16 to the elevating mechanism 27, and the gas spring 26 is fixedly held at the stopped position.

Thereafter, the user enters the large mirror section 5 and the small mirror section 6.
Or the user looks at the second mirror section 18 and operates the faucet fitting 11 or the like to use the vanity body 1.

When the height of the washbasin 9 is low because the position of the washbasin 9 is low, the operator first grasps and lifts the operating lever 16 looking through the cutout 9b of the washbasin 9 with one hand, and at the same time lifts it to a desired position. At this time,
