Description

The present invention relates to a vanity table provided with a counter provided with a washbasin, a three-sided mirror provided above the counter, and a lighting device for irradiating a user with light.

Traditionally, the vanity table has been used to look at one's own face in the mirror and make up while checking the makeup applied to the face.
In general, makeup is one of the appearances when going out, and it is done so that others can see your face beautifully by emphasizing a part of the face such as eyes and cheeks and hiding spots and pores. The result of makeup changes depending on the balance of makeup such as color, shade, and contrast.
Under such circumstances, the common desire of makeup wearers is to be conscious of whitening and small faces, and to be seen beautifully by others. I want to do it. "

In order to fulfill the wishes of a person who wears such makeup, a three-sided mirror type vanity table including a central mirror and side mirrors provided on the left and right sides of the central mirror as in Patent Document 1 is disclosed. In this vanity, the left and right side mirrors are each provided with lighting extending in the vertical direction. Since this illumination emits light over the entire length in the vertical direction, the light emitted from the illumination can be applied to the front of the face so as not to cast a shadow.
In addition, when the side mirror is rotated around the end of the central mirror toward the user, the light emitted from the side mirror is focused on the side of the face, so that the front of the face The sides of the face can be brighter than the sides. Therefore, the bright state in which the face is evenly illuminated with light can be reflected in the mirror of the vanity, and the person who put on the makeup can understand the makeup applied by looking at the face reflected in the mirror of the vanity in a bright environment. , Color, shading, and contrast make it easier to balance makeup.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2011-15892

In the past, it was thought that it was the desire of makeup wearers to provide a vanity that illuminates the face evenly so as not to cast shadows on the face, making it easier to balance makeup such as color, shade, and contrast. With that in mind, a vanity was being developed.

However, as a matter of fact, the person who puts on make-up does not want to adjust the optimum balance of make-up reflected in the mirror of the vanity, and he puts on make-up according to the scene from now on.

Specifically, when heading to the karaoke room, apply a gloss with glitter, or apply a generous amount of cheek to make it stand out for a glittering makeup, or when heading to the library, beige or brown that is close to the skin color. Use the foundation or coral lipstick for a plain make-up, or if you're heading to a sports gym, use less foundation to make it look healthy and lightly make up with only the eyeliner without mascara. To do.

One of the factors is that the state of light incident on a person's face changes from scene to scene. As an example, the state of light incident on the actual human face in each of the above scenes is shown below. In a karaoke room, the incident state of light on a person's face receives spot light, and the front of the face is bright and the side of the face is dark. Also, in the library, the front of the face is bright and the sides of the face are dark due to the direct light from the pendant lighting. In a sports gym, the front of the face is bright and the sides of the face are dark due to the direct light from the downlight.
However, in the conventional mirror of the vanity, the purpose is to evenly shine light on the user's face to balance the makeup such as color, shade, and contrast, and because the light is evenly shined on the face. Although it was possible to create an outdoor scene in the daytime, it was not possible to create a positive contrast light incident state in which the front of the face, which is often faced in actual scenes, is bright and the sides of the face are dark, as shown above. ..
In other words, the state of the light that hits the user's face reflected in the mirror of the vanity did not match the state of the light that hits the user's face in the scene from now on.

Therefore, what the make-up person used to do as a way to reproduce the appearance in the actual scene in front of the mirror of the vanity was to imagine a concrete scene such as destination and time in his head. The incident state of light was adjusted by applying makeup according to the state of light at that time, adjusting the lighting of the room, and changing the standing position of the vanity with respect to the mirror.
In this way, a lot of experience and high know-how were required to make makeup that matches the actual scene.

From the above, the present invention is a "scene simulation LD", that is, "the scene from now on can be easily reproduced in front of the mirror of the vanity, and the person who makes up can easily reproduce the scene in the mirror of the vanity. By reproducing it in front of, you can experience the state of light in a simulated manner, you can easily make makeup that is perfect for the scene you are heading to without relying on your own experience and know-how, and the makeup you applied is suitable for that scene. The purpose is to provide the world's first completely new concept vanity table, which can be confirmed under light conditions.

In order to achieve the above object, in the vanity according to claim 1, a counter provided with a wash bowl, a three-sided mirror provided above the counter, a lighting device for irradiating the user with light, and the like. The three-sided mirror has a central mirror and side mirrors provided on the left and right sides of the central mirror and movable toward the user, and the lighting device is of the three-sided mirror. The user is illuminated by the upper illumination that illuminates the user by projecting light from above to the front of the three-sided mirror, and the light that is projected from below the three-sided mirror toward the counter and reflected by the counter. By having a counter illumination to irradiate and moving the side mirror to the user side in front of the three-sided mirror, the light on the side mirror side illuminating the user by the upper illumination is dimmed. At the same time, the light on the side mirror side that illuminates the user is dimmed by the counter illumination, and the side mirror is moved to the user side in front of the three-sided mirror. The amount of dimming of the light reaching the user side is the amount of dimming of the light projected from the counter lighting, reflected by the counter, and reaching the user side, rather than the amount of dimming of the light reaching the user side from the upper lighting. Is characterized by being smaller.
In the vanity table configured in this way, when the side mirror is not moved to the user side, the direct light is projected from the top light to the front of the three-sided mirror to directly irradiate the user, and / Alternatively, the mirror-surface reflected light that is projected from the top illumination to the front of the three-sided mirror, reflected by the mirror surface of the three-sided mirror, and irradiates the user with light equivalent to direct light uniformly illuminates the user's face, for example. , You can experience the scene of walking in the city where the sunlight and the strong reflection from the road surface are received by the face in the daytime.
Then, when the side mirror is moved to the user side, the direct light on the side mirror side projected from the top illumination and / or the side mirror side projected from the mirror surface reflected light and the counter illumination Since the counter reflected light is dimmed more than the central mirror side, for example, direct light from a scene in a karaoke room or pendant lighting where the front of the face is bright and the side of the face is dark due to spot light. The scene in the library where the front of the face is bright and the side of the face is dark, and the scene in the sports gym where the front of the face is bright and the side of the face is dark due to the direct light from the downlight. You can have a simulated experience.
Further, in the present invention, when the side mirror is moved to the user side, the direct light illuminating the user projected from the top illumination to the front of the three-sided mirror, and / or the mirror-reflected light and the counter illumination. The counter-reflected light (indirect light), which is the diffused reflection reflected by the counter projected from the mirror, is dimmed more than when the side mirror is not moved, and illuminates the user, but the amount of dimming is The counter lighting is smaller.
Therefore, for example, in the beer garden at night or at night when the lower surface of the face becomes vaguely bright due to the indirect light reflected from the floor surface, the front surface of the face is dark and the side surface of the face is dark due to the direct light from the pendant lighting. The front of the face is bright due to the scene in the lobby of the hotel and the direct light from the downlight, the side of the face is dark, and the indirect light reflected from the floor makes the lower surface of the face vaguely bright. You can experience the scene in the waiting room of the hospital.
Therefore, by moving the mirror, the light that reaches the user side can be dimmed, there is no need to adjust the lighting of the room, the front of the face is bright to the user's face, and the side of the face is dark. By creating a contrasting state and an incident state of light that makes the lower surface of the face vaguely bright, you can experience the light state not only outdoors in the daytime but also outdoors and indoors at night, even when there is a time constraint for women. It is easy to use and can apply appropriate makeup to various scenes that the user envisions.

Further, in the vanity according to claim 2, the lighting device further has under-illumination that illuminates the user by projecting light from below the three-sided mirror to the front of the three-sided mirror. By moving the side mirror to the user side, the light on the side mirror side that illuminates the user by the underlighting is dimmed, and the side mirror is moved to the front of the three-sided mirror. The amount of dimming of the light that reaches the user side due to the movement to the user side is projected from the counter lighting and reflected by the counter rather than the amount of dimming of the light that reaches the user side from the under lighting. The feature is that the amount of dimming of the light reaching the user side is smaller.
From this, when the side mirror is not moved to the user side, the direct light that is projected from the underlight to the front of the three-sided mirror and directly irradiates the user, and / or is reflected by the mirror surface of the three-sided mirror. When the mirror reflected light that illuminates the user is added, the light can be evenly applied to the user's face, while when the side mirror is moved to the user side, the underlighting of the three-sided mirror Direct light and / or mirror-reflected light that is projected forward to illuminate the user and counter-reflected light (indirect light) that is diffused reflection that is projected from the counter lighting and reflected by the counter are both on the side. The light is dimmed to illuminate the user compared to the state where the square mirror is not moved to the user side, but the amount of dimming is smaller in the counter lighting, and the diffused reflected light in the counter lighting that functions as indirect lighting. Since the amount of dimming is smaller than the amount of dimming of the underlighting, it is possible to prevent the indirect lighting function of the counter lighting from being impaired.
Therefore, by having more under-illumination, it is possible to illuminate the user's face brighter without moving the side mirror to the user side, and it is possible to apply appropriate makeup to the scene assumed by the user. Can be done.

Further, in the vanity according to claim 3, in the lighting device, the counter lighting and the lower lighting use light from the same light source to project light onto the counter and the three-sided mirror. It is characterized by.
As a result, it is not necessary to newly install a lighting device to irradiate the counter, which leads to cost reduction, the structure is not complicated, and the design can be maintained.

Further, in the vanity according to claim 4, in the lighting device, the amount of light projected by the counter lighting and the lower lighting is characterized in that the amount of light projected by the counter lighting is larger than the amount of light projected by the lower lighting. It is supposed to be.
This leads to more emphasis on the diffuse reflected light reflected from the counter, and it is possible to apply more appropriate makeup to the scene assumed by the user.

Further, in the vanity according to claim 5, the illuminance of the light emitted to the user by the upper lighting in the state where the side mirror is not moved to the user side is the counter lighting and the lower. It is characterized by being higher than the illuminance of the light emitted to the user by the lighting.
Because of this, the light that arrives from the upper lighting has a higher illuminance that hits the user's face than the light that arrives from the lower lighting, so the user can reflect the sunlight and the ground, or the indoor lamp and the ground. You can experience a simulated experience of how the light emitted from above is stronger than the light reflected from the floor.
Therefore, the light reaches the user's face from the light source located above, for example, the scene of a walk in the daytime receiving sunlight, the scene of watching a baseball game receiving stage lighting from above, or the light of a street lamp on the street at night. You can experience the scene you receive in a simulated manner, and you can apply appropriate makeup to various scenes that the user envisions.

According to the aspect of the present invention, by moving the mirror, the light reaching the user side can be dimmed, the lighting of the room does not need to be adjusted, and the front of the face is bright to the user's face. It creates a positive contrast state where the sides of the face are dark and the lower surface of the face is vaguely bright, and you can experience the light conditions not only outdoors in the daytime but also outdoors and indoors at night, which is a time constraint. It is easy for women to use even when there is a problem, and it is possible to apply appropriate makeup to various scenes that the user envisions.

Top, bottom, right and left, respectively. Further, in the specification of the present application, the direction from the vanity 1 toward the user located in front of the vanity 1 is defined as the "forward" direction, and the opposite direction is defined as the "rear" direction.

The wash basin 200 has a bowl portion (wash bowl) 210 and counter portions 220 integrally formed behind and to the left and right of the bowl portion 210.
The counter portion 220 is formed on a substantially horizontal surface.
In the present embodiment, the bowl portion 210 and the counter portion 220 are integrally molded, but may be molded separately.

The faucet device 300 is placed on the upper end of the counter portion 220 behind the bowl portion 210, and the water discharge portion 310 projects forward to the upper side of the bowl portion 210.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mirror cabinet 400 is provided behind the mirror unit 410, the lighting unit (lighting device) 420 that illuminates the user standing in front of the mirror unit 410, and the mirror unit 410. It has a mirror cabinet main body 430 having a storage space inside with 410 as an opening / closing door.

The mirror unit (three-sided mirror) 410 has a central mirror 411 fixed to the mirror cabinet main body 430 and side mirrors 412 provided on both sides of the central mirror 411.
The side mirror 412 has a left side mirror 412a provided on the left side and a right side mirror 412b provided on the right side of the central mirror 411. These three mirrors have the same vertical width and horizontal width, and are attached to the mirror cabinet main body 430 in a continuous manner between the mirrors in a state where the heights are the same.
The side mirror 412 is fixed to the mirror cabinet main body 430 by a hinge (not shown), and is used as an opening / closing door of the mirror cabinet main body 430.
Although the central mirror 411 is fixed in this embodiment, it may be mounted so as to be movable in the front-rear direction, and it may be used to dimm the light instead of the side mirror 412.

Further, the mirror unit 410 can perform three operations of flap operation, swing operation A, and swing operation B by moving the side mirror 412 forward.
The flap operation is an operation of rotating the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b forward with the end on the central mirror 411 side as an axis. The swing operation A is an operation of moving the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b in parallel forward. The swing operation B is an operation in which the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b are moved to the foreground in the swing operation A, and then moved toward the center so as to cover the central mirror 411.
The specific three operations of the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b, which are the flap operation, the swing operation A, and the swing operation B, will be described later.

The lighting unit 420 includes an upper lighting unit 421 fixed to the front surface of the mirror cabinet body 430 located above the mirror unit 410 and a lower lighting unit 421 fixed to the front surface of the mirror cabinet body 430 located below the mirror unit 410. (Counter lighting) 422 and. The upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 have the same width as the width of the mirror unit 410.
The width of the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 is preferably smaller than the width of the mirror unit 410.

The upper illumination unit 421 has an upper light source 421a which is a light source connected to an electric wire (not shown), and an upper illumination unit cover 421b which covers the upper light source 421a.
The upper light source 421a is an LED, and the emission color can be switched between neutral white and warm white by an operation from an operation switch (not shown) of the mirror cabinet 400.
Therefore, in neutral white, it is possible to reproduce a hue close to morning and daylight, and in warm white, it is possible to reproduce a hue close to dusk.
Therefore, for example, the state of light received on the face outdoors in the morning, daytime and dusk, and the state of light received on the face in the waiting room of the hospital and the lobby of the hotel at night are white, which is a color close to reality. It is possible to select from neutral white and warm orange-based white, and it is possible to apply more appropriate makeup to the scene expected by the user.
Further, the front end of the upper light source 421a extends to the front of the mirror unit 410.
The upper illumination unit cover 421b is a resin-made shielding member, and covers the upper surface, the front surface, and the left and right side surfaces of the upper light source 421a.

The lower illumination unit 422 has a lower light source 422a which is a light source connected to an electric wire, and a lower illumination unit cover 422b which covers the lower light source 422a.
The lower light source 422a is an LED, and the emission color can be switched between neutral white and warm white by operating the operation switch of the mirror cabinet 400.
Further, the front end of the lower light source 422a extends to the front of the mirror unit 410.
The lower illumination unit cover 422b is a resin shielding member and covers the front surface and the left and right side surfaces of the lower light source 422a.
The light source used for the upper light source 421a and the lower light source 422a is not limited to the LED, and it is preferable that the color-developing light can be switched.

Next, the irradiation of light from the lighting unit 420 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 11.
In FIGS. 3 to 11, the upper illumination unit 421 irradiates the irradiation light Lu diagonally downward and rearward from the lower surface of the upper illumination unit 421 not covered by the upper illumination unit cover 421b. Further, the lower illumination unit 422 irradiates the irradiation light Ld diagonally rearward and upward from the upper surface of the lower illumination unit 422 not covered by the lower illumination unit cover 422b, and obliquely downward side from the lower surface of the lower illumination unit 422. Moreover, the irradiation light Lk is irradiated to the front side.

Each light irradiation state in the operation pattern of the three-sided mirror (flap operation, swing operation A, swing operation B) will be described.
FIG. 3 is a schematic upper sectional view showing a light irradiation state in the mirror cabinet of FIG.

In the mirror unit 410 of FIG. 3, the mirror surface of the central mirror 411 and the mirror surface of each side mirror 412 are substantially parallel to each other. That is, each side mirror 412 is not moved to the user side. The amount of movement of the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b may be different from each other.

In this state, the irradiation lights Lu and Ld emitted from the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 include a large amount of light emitted from the front side of the central mirror 411 and the side mirror 412, so that a large amount of light is emitted. The user in front of the mirror unit 410 is directly irradiated.

FIG. 4 is a schematic upper sectional view showing a flap operation and a light irradiation state in the mirror cabinet of FIG.

In the mirror unit 410 of FIG. 4, the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b are in a state of being rotated forward about each of the ends on the central mirror 411 side. That is, in the mirror unit 410 of FIG. 4, the surface of the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b located symmetrically with the surface in contact with the central mirror 411 is rotated forward. In the present embodiment, the rotation angle α when rotating is 90 ° or less.

In this state, the irradiation lights Lu and Ld emitted from the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 are partially blocked from the light emitted to the front side by the rotated side mirror 412, and therefore, as shown in FIG. Compared to the state, the amount of light directly applied to the user in front of the mirror unit 410 is reduced.

FIG. 5 is a schematic upper sectional view showing a swing operation A and a light irradiation state in the mirror cabinet of FIG.

In the mirror unit 410 of FIG. 5, the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b are translated forward as they are. That is, in the mirror unit 410 of FIG. 5, the position and the rotation angle α in the left-right direction do not change, and the mirror unit 410 is in a state of being translated only in the front-rear and rear directions.

In this state, the irradiation lights Lu and Ld emitted from the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 are partially blocked by the side mirror 412 that has moved forward, and therefore, FIG. The amount of light directly applied to the user in front of the mirror unit 410 is reduced as compared with the state of. Further, since more light is blocked as compared with the state of FIG. 4, the amount of light directly irradiated to the user in front of the mirror unit 410 is reduced as compared with the state of FIG.

FIG. 6 is a schematic upper sectional view showing a swing operation B and a light irradiation state in the mirror cabinet of FIG.

In the mirror unit 410 of FIG. 6, after the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b are translated forward, the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b are moved in the direction of approaching each other in the left-right direction. is there. That is, in the mirror unit 410 of FIG. 6, in the swing operation A, the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b are moved to the foremost surface and then moved toward the center so as to cover the central mirror 411.

In this state, the irradiation lights Lu and Ld emitted from the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 are partially blocked by the side mirror 412 that has moved forward, and therefore, FIG. The amount of light directly applied to the user in front of the mirror unit 410 is reduced as compared with the state of. Further, since more light is blocked as compared with the state of FIG. 4, the amount of light directly irradiated to the user in front of the mirror unit 410 is reduced as compared with the state of FIG. Further, since the light radiated to the front of the central mirror 411 is blocked more than the state of FIG. 5, the amount of light directly radiated to the user in front of the center of the mirror unit 410 is smaller than that of the state of FIG. Decrease. Compared to the state of FIG. 5, the light emitted to the outer ends of the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b, that is, the front of the left and right ends of the mirror unit 410 is not blocked. The amount of light directly applied to the user in front of the mirror unit 410 on the left and right sides is large.

As described above, the light that reaches the front can be dimmed by a simple configuration in which the back surface of the operated mirror blocks the light that reaches the front. Therefore, it is possible to experience the light conditions outdoors during the day, outdoors at night, and indoors without the need to adjust the lighting of the room, and it is convenient for women even when there is a time constraint, and various things that the user envisions. Appropriate makeup can be applied to various scenes.

FIG. 7 is a schematic side sectional view showing a state of reflected light in the AA sectional view of the vanity of FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 7, the upper illumination unit 421 irradiates the irradiation light Lu toward the mirror surface of the mirror unit 410, and the lower illumination unit 422 irradiates the irradiation light Ld toward the mirror surface of the mirror unit 410. The irradiation light Lk is irradiated toward the counter portion 220.
That is, the lower illumination unit 422 combines the irradiation of the mirror unit 410 and the irradiation of the counter unit 220 with the lower light source 422a, and it is not necessary to newly provide an illumination device in order to irradiate the counter unit 220. It leads to cost reduction, the structure is not complicated, and the design can be maintained.
The lower illumination unit 422 may be divided into an illumination device that irradiates the mirror unit 410 and an illumination device that irradiates the counter unit 220.

The irradiation lights Lu and Ld are reflected by the mirror unit 410, and the reflected lights Lur and Ld illuminate the face M of the user standing in front of the vanity 1.
At this time, the reflected light Lur hits the user's face M from above, and the reflected light Ldr hits the user's face M from below. That is, the reflected light Lur simulates the sunlight and the reflected light Ldr simulates the reflected light from the floor surface, and it is possible to reproduce the way of hitting the light close to daily life. Although not shown in FIG. 7, the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 illuminate not only the mirror surface of the mirror unit 410 but also the front side of the mirror unit 410, that is, the user side. Irradiate Lu.

Further, the irradiation light Lk is reflected by the counter unit 220 and becomes the reflected light Lkr. The reflected light Lkr is diffusely reflected by the counter unit 220, so that a wider range than the reflected light Ldr can be illuminated with vague indirect light. Therefore, since it illuminates not only the user's face M but also the periphery of the user's face M, it is possible to simulate the reflected light from the floor surface, creating a vaguely bright state on the lower surface of the user's face M. , It is possible to reproduce the state where the surrounding space is dark and the bright reflected light is vaguely received from the floor surface.

Next, the amount of reflected light that hits the user will be described.
The amount of irradiation light Lu, Ld, and Lk emitted from the illumination unit 420 is Lu: Ld: Lk = 100: 40: 100. Here, the reflectance of the mirror unit 410 is about 90%, and the reflectance of the counter unit 220 is reflected by the resin, so that the light energy attenuation rate is increased to about 20%, which is the reflection that hits the user. The amount of light of the light Lur, Ldr, and Lkr is Lur: Ldr: Lkr = 90: 36: 20.

That is, the amount of light of the reflected light Lur is larger than the amount of each of the reflected light Ldr and Lkr, and the amount of light obtained by adding the irradiation light Ldr and Lkr.
Therefore, the amount of light arriving from the upper illuminating unit 421 is larger than the amount of light arriving from the lower illuminating unit 422, so that the light is irradiated from above the user, such as the reflection of sunlight and the ground, or the reflection of indoor lamps and the ground. You can experience a simulated experience of how the light hits the light, which is stronger than the light reflected from the floor.
Therefore, the light reaches the user's face M from the upper light source 421a located in the upper lighting unit 421, for example, a scene of a daytime walk receiving sunlight, a scene of watching a baseball game receiving stage lighting from above, or a street at night. You can experience the scene of receiving the light from the streetlight in the street, and you can apply appropriate makeup to various scenes that the user envisions.
In this embodiment, the mirror surface reflected light reflected from the mirror unit 410 and the diffused reflected light reflected from the counter unit 220 and the mirror cabinet main body 430 are defined as indirect light.

Next, the state of light reflection when the side mirror 412 is moved forward will be described.
FIG. 8 is a schematic side sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 2 when the left side mirror is moved forward.

When the left side mirror 412a is moved forward, the front end surface (mirror surface) of the left side mirror 412a becomes after the irradiation position when the irradiation lights Lu and Ld emitted from the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 are irradiated. Located in front of the edge. At this time, the irradiation lights Lu and Ld are the reflected light Lur and Ldr reflected on the left side mirror 412a and the reflected light Lur2 and Ldr2 reflected on the mirror cabinet main body 430.
Since the reflected light Lur2 and Ldr2 are blocked by the back side of the left side mirror 412a, the reflected light Lur and Ldr reflected forward from the left side mirror 412a are dimmed.
By moving the left side mirror 412a forward in this way, the amount of reflected light Lur and Ldr reflected forward is dimmed, so that the light that reaches the front (user side) is transmitted from the back surface of the operated mirror. With a simple configuration of blocking, the light that reaches the front can be dimmed, a movement detection sensor or the like is not required, and the cost can be suppressed.
The irradiation lights Lu and Ld emitted from the illumination unit 420 also irradiate the front of the mirror unit 410 without passing through the mirror unit 410, but when the left mirror 412a is moved forward, the left mirror Since the rear end surface (back side) of the 412a is located in front of the lighting unit 420, the irradiation lights Lu and Ld directly emitted from the lighting unit 420 are also blocked by the back side of the left mirror 412a. ..

Further, the reflected light Lkr from the counter portion 220 may also be blocked by the back side of the left side mirror 412a when the left side mirror 412a is moved forward. However, as the left side mirror 412a is moved forward, the amount of light that reaches the front is attenuated as compared with the reflected light that arrives forward by irradiating the mirror unit 410 from the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422. The reflected light that irradiates the counter unit 220 from the lower illumination unit 422 and reaches the front is smaller.
The same phenomenon also occurs when the right-side mirror 412b is moved forward.

That is, when operating the side mirror 412, for example, the front surface of the face is brightened by the direct light from the pendant lighting, the side surface of the face is dark, and the lower surface of the face is blurred by the indirect light reflected from the floor surface. Indirect light reflected from the floor, with the front of the face bright and the sides of the face dark, receiving the direct light from the downlight and the scene in the beer garden at night and the lobby of the hotel at night. , You can experience the scene in the waiting room of the hospital where the lower surface of the face is vaguely bright.
Therefore, with a simple configuration in which the back surface of the operated mirror blocks the light that reaches the front, the light that reaches the front can be dimmed, and there is no need to adjust the lighting of the room, and the front of the face to the user's face. Creates a positive contrast state where the side of the face is bright and the side of the face is dark and the lower surface of the face is vaguely bright. It is easy for women to use even in the morning when there is no time, and it is possible to apply appropriate makeup to various scenes that the user envisions.

The reflection direction of each light in the operation pattern of the three-sided mirror (flap operation, swing operation A, swing operation B) will be described.
FIG. 9 is a schematic upper sectional view showing a flap operation and a light reflection state in the mirror cabinet according to the present embodiment.

The reflected light Lur and Ldr reflected forward from the side mirror 412 will be described below.

Since the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b rotate forward about the end on the central mirror 411 side, the rotation angle α when rotating the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b is large. When it exceeds a certain level, it protrudes forward from the lighting unit 420 from the end surface of the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b on the opposite side of the central mirror 411.
That is, the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b are gradually illuminated from the end opposite to the central mirror 411 of the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b according to the rotation angle α when the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b rotate forward. Move forward from unit 420.
At this time, in the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b that are not located in front of the lighting unit 420, the irradiation lights Lu and Ld are incident on the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b and are reflected forward as reflected lights Lur and Ldr. Will be done. That is, the reflected light Lu and Ld appear on a part of the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b located in front of the lighting unit 420 because the irradiation light Lu and Ld from the lighting unit 420 do not enter and are not reflected. Absent.
Therefore, as the rotation angle α of the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b increases, the reflected light Lur and Ldr, which are the reflected light from the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b, become the left side mirror 412a and the right side. It gradually becomes impossible to obtain from the outside of the mirror 412b.

In other words, as the rotation angle α of the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b increases, the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b come out in front of the lighting unit 420, so that the light emitted from the lighting unit 420 A part of the light does not enter the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b, and the reflected light Lur and Ldr reflected forward are reduced.
On the other hand, as the rotation angle α increases, the reflected lights Lur and Ldr from the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b are focused on the central mirror 411.
Therefore, in front of the central mirror 411, as the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b are moved forward, the amount of light illuminating the user's face M increases and becomes brighter.

Further, since the amount of light reflected from the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b, which is the reflected light Lur and Ldr, decreases according to the rotation angle α, the rotation of the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b When the moving angle α is different, the light amounts of the reflected light Lur and Ldr from the left side mirror 412a are different.

As the rotation angle α of the left-side mirror 412a and the right-side mirror 412b increases, the reflected light Lur and Ldr, which are the reflected light in the left-side mirror 412a and the right-side mirror 412b, become larger than those of the left-side mirror 412a and the right-side mirror 412b. When the user is located in front of the central mirror, if the left mirror 412a and / or the right mirror 412b is checked sideways without moving the user's face M, the left mirror 412a and / or the right mirror 412b can be seen in the left-right direction. The illuminance of the light that hits the user's face M decreases depending on the degree of distance from the center line of the user's face M.

Therefore, the amount of light that reaches the front of the central mirror 411 from the lighting devices above and below the side mirror 412 is stronger in the light coming from the inside of the side mirror 412 with respect to the central mirror 411 than in the light coming from the outside. The amount of light is continuously weakened from the inside to the outside.
Therefore, it is possible to create a contrast that continuously transitions from a bright state to a dark state from the front of the face to the side of the face, and it is possible to make adjustments to reduce the bright area that hits the user's face. Appropriate makeup can be applied to the scene.
In addition, by looking sideways at the side mirror 412, it is possible to check the state of the user's profile that is visible to others, and at that time, the angle seen by others can be easily rotated by rotating the side mirror 412. Since it can be adjusted, more appropriate makeup can be applied.

Since it can be adjusted, more appropriate makeup can be applied.

FIG. 10 is a schematic upper sectional view showing a swing operation A and a light reflection state in the mirror cabinet according to the present embodiment.

The reflected light Lur and Ldr reflected from the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b will be described below.
By moving the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b forward in parallel, they are located in front of the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422. Therefore, the reflected lights Lur2 and Ldr2 are the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b. It is blocked by the back surface and does not reflect forward from the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422.
That is, since light is not reflected in front of the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b, the front of the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b becomes dark.

The irradiation lights Lur and Ldr that are reflected after being incident on the central mirror 411 from the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 located above and below the central mirror 411 will be described below.
In front of the central mirror 411, there is nothing to block the reflected light Lur and Ldr, it is not affected by the movement of the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b, and the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror The light emitted forward from the lighting devices located above and below the 412b is reflected when blocked by the back surfaces of the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b, and a part of the irradiated light is reflected by the central mirror. It is incident on 411 and reaches the front.

That is, by moving the left side mirror 412a and / or the right side mirror 412b in parallel with the user side, the front surface of the face becomes brighter and the side surface of the face becomes darker, so that the face receives spot light, for example, stage lighting. You can experience the scene of standing on the stage.
Therefore, it is possible to create a light incident state in which the front of the face becomes brighter to the user's face M, and to experience a simulated scene in which the front of the face is emphasized by a spotlight or the like. Appropriate makeup can be applied.

Since the lighting unit 420 is fixed, the illuminance due to the reflected light from the mirror unit 410 can be adjusted by a simple operation of moving the mirror unit 410 forward.
Specifically, since the side mirrors can be translated in the anteroposterior direction, when the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b are not operated, the front surface of the user's face M and the front surface of the user's face M from the upper and lower lighting devices and Since the direct light reflected from the mirror unit 410 evenly hits the side surface, for example, it is possible to simulate a scene of walking in the city where sunlight and strong reflection from the road surface are received on the face in the daytime.
Further, by moving the side mirror 412 forward in parallel, the light radiated to the user side from the lighting devices located above and below the side mirror is reflected when blocked by the back surface of the side mirror. , A part of the irradiated light is incident on the central mirror and reaches the user side.
That is, since the front of the face is brighter and the sides of the face are darker, it is possible to simulate a scene of standing on a stage where the face receives spotlight, for example, stage lighting.
Therefore, it is possible to create a light incident state in which the front of the face becomes brighter to the user's face M, and to experience a simulated scene in which the front of the face is emphasized by a spotlight or the like. Appropriate makeup can be applied.

FIG. 11 is a schematic upper sectional view showing a swing operation B and a light reflection state in the mirror cabinet according to the present embodiment.

The reflected light Lur and Ldr reflected forward from the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b will be described below.
Since the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b move in the direction of approaching each other, the reflected light Lur2 and Ldr2 are not blocked by the back surfaces of the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b by the amount of movement, and move forward.
That is, in the swing operation B, the reflected lights Lur2 and Ldr2 reach forward from the side surface side facing the outside of the side mirror 412 and the right side mirror 412b.

Therefore, when a person who puts on makeup stands in front of the central mirror 411, the reflected lights Lur and Ldr that are reflected forward after being incident on the central mirror 411 from the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 are blocked. However, the reflected light Lur2 and Ldr2 reflected from the mirror cabinet main body 430 after being incident on the mirror cabinet main body 430 from the upper lighting unit 421 and the lower lighting unit 422 on the left and right sides are not blocked.
As a result, the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b located on both sides of the central mirror 411 can be easily moved forward (to the user side) so as to cover the central mirror 411. The light emitted from the lighting devices located above and below the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b is reflected on the mirror cabinet body 430 while dimming the light reaching forward from the lighting device located below. Indirect light reaches forward.

That is, when the left-side mirror 412a and the right-side mirror 412b are operated so as to cover the central mirror 411, the light emitted from the lighting devices above and below the central mirror 411 is dimmed and the left-side mirror 412a and the right side are dimmed. Since the indirect light reflected from the lighting device located above and below the square mirror 412b reaches the front of the mirror cabinet body 430, for example, the indirect light reflected from the neon sign to the surrounding buildings is received on the side surface of the face, and the face is exposed to the indirect light. The sides of the face are dimly bright, and the front of the face is dimly bright. You can experience the scene of the night festival when the front of the face is dark.
In particular, when the front surface of the lighting unit 420 is shielded, indirect light is emphasized and a more realistic scene can be created.
Therefore, with a simple configuration in which the back surface of the operated mirror blocks the light that reaches the user side, the light that reaches the user side can be dimmed, and there is no need to adjust the lighting of the room, and the user's face. The front of the face is bright and the sides of the face are dark, creating a positive contrast state, and the front of the face is dark and the sides of the face are vaguely bright. By creating a state, you can experience the state of light outdoors at night and indoors as well as outdoors in the daytime, it is convenient for women even when there is a time constraint, and it is suitable for various scenes that the user envisions. Makeup can be applied.

By simply moving the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b forward, a part of the irradiation light Lu and Ld can be blocked by the back surface of the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b. The illuminance of the light that hits the user's face M can be adjusted without this.
Therefore, by simply moving the left-side mirror 412a and the right-side mirror 412b forward, the difference due to the illuminance of the light can be easily simulated without tampering with the amount of light of the lighting itself, that is, without dimming the lighting, and in the daytime. Not only such a bright scene but also a dark scene close to everyday life such as on the street at night can be reproduced, and a configuration for dimming is not required, which can be realized with a simple configuration.

Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, the reflected light from the mirror unit 410 that reaches the front decreases according to the amount of movement of the side mirror 412 forward, so that the use is located in front of the central mirror 411. As the side mirror 412 is moved forward with respect to the person, the illuminance of the light that hits the side surface of the user's face M can be reduced.
Therefore, by moving the side mirror 412 forward to the user located in front of the central mirror 411, the front surface of the face remains bright, and the side surface of the face gradually darkens according to the amount of movement. The sides of the face can create a dark state that matches the darkness of the surrounding space.

Therefore, if you want to apply appropriate makeup especially to the light conditions on the sides of your face, for example, you can experience a simulated experience of sitting indoors at a counter seat or sitting on a bench in a park at night with your lover. It is possible to apply appropriate makeup to various scenes that the user envisions.
Further, when irradiating the counter portion 220 with light, the lower surface of the face receives diffused reflection from the counter portion 220, so that the lower surface of the face is vaguely brightened, and in particular, the light from the illumination and the reflected light from the floor surface are received. If you want to apply appropriate makeup to the side of your face according to the light conditions, for example, you can experience the scene of sitting at the counter seat of the bar or the scene of the karaoke room receiving the downlight with your lover. Appropriate makeup can be applied to various scenes assumed by the user.
In addition, since the reproducible light condition can be finely adjusted, it is possible to apply more appropriate makeup to the scene expected by the user.

Further, since the front surfaces of the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 are shielded, the direct light that directly reaches the front from the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 without passing through the mirror unit 410 is in front of the mirror unit 410. Does not appear in.
That is, the direct light radiated forward can be cut without being affected by the movement amount of the side mirror 412, the degree of dimming of the light when the side mirror 412 is moved increases, and the counter The indirect light diffusely reflected from the unit 220 is emphasized. In addition, part of the user's clothes does not become extremely bright, and the balance with the coordination of the whole body can be confirmed.
Therefore, it is easy to control how the light hits the user, and it is possible to apply more appropriate makeup to the scene assumed by the user.
In particular, when creating a vague light state with the reflected light from the counter unit 220, the indirect light is emphasized, so that the lower surface of the face becomes vaguely brighter in the incident state of the light. Can be reproduced.

Further, since the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 are fixed, the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 are separated from the mirror unit 410, or a part of the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 is a mirror unit. The illuminance of the light from the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 can be adjusted with a simple configuration of moving the side mirror in the forward direction without hiding with the 410.
Therefore, it is not necessary to add an extra configuration such as wiring associated with operating the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422, and the above-mentioned effect can be obtained with a simple configuration.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 irradiate light toward the mirror surfaces of the central mirror, the left side mirror 412a, and the right side mirror 412b, and reflect the light toward the user. However, without irradiating the mirror surfaces of the central mirror, left-side mirror 412a, and right-side mirror 412b with light, only in the forward direction of the central mirror, left-side mirror 412a, and right-side mirror 412b. , It may be one that irradiates light.
