Description

Since the mirror surface of a bathroom or the like is clouded by steam, most of them are attached with a heating wire on the back surface of the mirror, and the mirror is heated by the heat from the heating wire to remove the fog.
However, equipment that requires such a heating wire is difficult to install and maintain to prevent leakage due to the ingress of water droplets.

The present invention relates to anti-fogging of a moisture-proof or corrosion-resistant mirror.

Therefore, an inventor who introduced hot water instead of heating wire only on the back side of the mirror to remove the fogging of the mirror, filed in 2005 by the inventor himself, and disclosed as a mirror anti-fogging device in Japanese Patent No. 3776114. However, the hot water did not reach the lower part of the mirror stoppers attached to the top, bottom, left and right, and it was difficult to remove the fog of the mirror as seen in the cloud 9 of FIG. 7 showing the conventional example.

There is no other technical field that combines the effect of heating and heat storage of the mirror by slowing the falling speed of the hot water when flowing warm water only on the back of the mirror for the purpose of removing the fog of the mirror in the bathroom etc., The prior art using warm water includes a case described in Japanese Patent No. 3776114 (see Patent Document 5).

There are the following documents as apparatuses for removing hot water from only the back surface of the mirror to remove the fogging of the mirror.
Patent No. 3776114

  In the mirror anti-fogging device according to Japanese Patent No. 3776114, the fogging of the mirror surface is removed vertically, but the flow of hot water is obstructed by the metal fittings at the lower part of the upper mirror's metal fittings, and there is hot water below that. As shown in FIG. 7 at 9 which shows a conventional example, the specular surface fog remains uneven and it takes time to completely remove the fog. This is because the thermal efficiency transmitted to the mirror is not perfect. It was because there was not.

As the anti-fogging mirror for wall hanging according to the present invention, the anti-fogging device of the mirror according to Japanese Patent No. 3776114 can be used, and the wall hanging mirror in which the shape of the mirror is square or rectangular and the upper side is horizontally attached, This is applied to wall-mounted mirrors whose upper part is made into a curved or polygonal shape.

The present invention is a mirror for hanging a bathroom wall as claimed in claim 1, wherein a sheet-like antifogging member is pasted on the back side of the mirror, and a rubber cushioning material is attached to the upper and lower parts of the mirror, respectively. A mirror-like metal fitting and a mirror metal fitting, and the cushioning material forms a gap between the mirror and the anti-fogging member affixed to the wall surface and the mirror, and a sheet-like anti-fogging member is formed above the gap. It is a bathroom wall-mounted mirror , characterized in that an inclined rectifying plate is provided to flow downward.
The anti-fogging member according to claim 2 is the bathroom wall hanging mirror according to claim 1, wherein a portion where the mirror stopper metal fitting and the mirror holder metal contact is cut out.
The bathroom wall hanging mirror according to any one of claims 1 and 2, wherein the anti-fogging member according to claim 3 is any one of a nonwoven fabric, cloth, and vinyl.
The mirror for bathroom wall hanging according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein a gap between the inclined tip of the current plate of claim 4 and the anti-fogging member is 0, 1 to 0, 8 mm.
The bathroom wall hanging mirror according to any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the upper part of the mirror according to claim 5 is either an arch shape or a polygonal shape.
As shown in FIG. 1, hot water dropped from the rectifying plate by attaching a non-woven fabric rich in water absorption as a sheet-like anti-fogging member to the entire mirror back surface is absorbed by the non-woven fabric having excellent water absorption and left and right. The action of delaying the falling speed of the hot water works while being diffused, and the heat storage action is expected by removing the fog on the entire back surface of the mirror, and the amount of hot water used can be further reduced.

The anti-fogging member according to claim 1 is cut so that the contact portion between the mirror stopper metal fitting and the mirror holder metal is not in contact with the anti-fogging member. This refers to a sheet-shaped sweet ship filter or microfiber cloth that is intertwined without weaving fibers, but for mirrors that have poor water quality and require frequent re-laying, nylon pyrene ( registered) Trademark ) filter cloth may be used.

  Nonwoven fabric, etc. is used for the purpose of filtering and absorbing various types of filters such as ventilation fans and various liquids. Nonwoven fabric with anti-mold and water absorption and quick drying properties are the best. Alternatively, it is completely in contact with the back surface of the mirror by an adhesive or heat welding so as not to collect air.

The heat of excess hot water transmitted from the stopper to the wall without cutting the mirror against the stopper with the thickness of the non-woven fabric or the like by cutting out the portion of the anti-fogging member overlapping the mirror stopper according to claim 2 Loss can be suppressed.

A sheet-like antifogging member rich in water absorption and quick-drying is attached to the back side of the mirror by the notch described in the above 0012, using water-resistant or waterproof adhesive double-sided tape or adhesive, and fixed to the top and bottom of the mirror. Stainless steel plate with a thickness of 0,3 mm to guide hot water from the upper part of the mirror to the anti-fogging member on the back of the mirror without touching the stopper and the bracket with the rubber cushioning material As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the rectifying plate is provided with a rectifying plate bent downward as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, and the hot water pooled on the rectifying plate is diffused horizontally.

The tip of the current plate is installed slightly below the sheet-like anti-fogging member, and the hot water pooled in the current plate does not overflow to the upper surface of the mirror, so there is a slight gap between the tip of the current plate and the anti-fogging member. By providing a gap of 0.1 mm to 0.8 mm, it is possible for hot water to fall smoothly while permeating and diffusing the entire surface of the anti-fogging member, and to quickly remove the surface fogging by warming the back side of the mirror. Become.

Even if the upper part of the mirror for hanging on the bathroom wall is not curved, the present invention can be applied even if it is polygonal if there is a gap between the mirror and the wall.

  The purpose of the present invention is not only to remove the fogging of the mirror uniformly and quickly, but also to bring the nonwoven fabric, etc., into the back of the mirror completely with water-resistant adhesive double-sided tape or adhesive, causing an unexpected accident, etc. In this case, it is possible to suppress the scattering of the glass and to protect the unprotected human body from the injury in the bathroom.

The anti-fogging effect of the mirror can be obtained quickly and uniformly by sticking non-woven fabric or the like on the back side of the mirror as shown in Fig. 1 of this application. It becomes.

If the thickness of the nonwoven fabric or the like is thin and the density is large, the fogging of the mirror surface is removed quickly, but the duration of antifogging is shortened.

If the thickness of the nonwoven fabric or the like is increased and the density is decreased, the time for removing the fog on the mirror surface is delayed, but the time for the anti-fogging effect is maintained.

For about 5 years, experiments were conducted in a unit bathroom with no windows and poor ventilation, but non-woven fabrics have good drying properties and can prevent mold growth and keep the mirror warm.

Or, no anti-fogging treatment is required, and the anti-fogging effect can be reflected semipermanently.

It is a front view by the Example of this invention. It is a left view of FIG. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of part (a). FIG. 4 (1) is a front view of the current plate with the receiving metal part cut away, and (2) is a right side view thereof. It is a figure which shows the shock absorbing material fixed to the mirror stop metal fitting, (1) is a front view, (2) is a left view. It is a front view which shows the other Example of this invention. It is a front view which shows the use condition in a prior art example.

The non-woven fabric that is the anti-fogging member 1 in FIG. 1 is slightly reduced in size from the mirror surface so that hot water introduced from the upper back surface of the mirror 2 does not flow out to the mirror 2 surface. Adhesives must be completely stuck to prevent air accumulation.

The entire circumference of the cut end of the nonwoven fabric 1 in FIG. 1 is subjected to heat treatment or adhesion processing to prevent fraying, and the cut end is solidified.

When the nonwoven fabric 1 in FIG. 2 has a thickness of 2 millimeters or more, the gap 17 with the wall 7 is narrowed, and the hot water 13 touches the wall 7 to prevent heat loss and to dry quickly. It is preferable to provide a gap of about 2,5 to 3,0 mm or more.
