Description

The present invention relates to a washbasin including a washbasin, a three-sided mirror provided above the washbasin, and a lighting device that irradiates a user with light.

Traditionally, the bathroom vanity has been used to look at one's own face in the mirror and make up while checking the result of the makeup applied to the face.
In general, makeup is one of the appearances when going out, and it is done to emphasize a part of the face such as eyes and cheeks, hide spots, pores, etc. so that others can see your face beautifully. 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 bathroom, the left and right side mirrors are each provided with lighting that extends in the vertical direction. Since this lighting emits light over the entire length in the vertical direction, the light emitted from the lighting 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 surface 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 on 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 bathroom vanity that evenly illuminates the face so as not to cast shadows on the face and makes it easier to balance the makeup such as color, shade, and contrast. With that in mind, a bathroom vanity was being developed.

However, as a matter of fact, the make-up person does not want to adjust the optimum makeup balance reflected in the mirror of the bathroom vanity, but makes up according to the scene from now on.

Specifically, when heading to the karaoke room, apply a gloss with glitter, or apply a lot 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 to make a plain make-up, or if you go to a sports gym, use less foundation to make it look healthy, and make up only the eyeliner without mascara. 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, 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, with 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 I was able to create an outdoor scene in the daytime, I could not create a positive contrast light incident state where 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 bathroom 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 is 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 of a vanity, which can be confirmed under light conditions.

In order to achieve the above object, the washbasin according to claim 1 is provided with a washbasin, a three-sided mirror provided above the washbasin, and a lighting device that irradiates the user with light. The three-sided mirror is a table, and 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 a user, and the lighting device is a central mirror and the side mirror. The side mirror has an upper illumination that irradiates light from above to the front of the three-sided mirror, and a lower illumination that irradiates light from below the central mirror and the side mirror to the front of the three-sided mirror. It is movably attached to the vanity, and the side mirror is moved to the user side in front of the three-sided mirror, and the relative positional relationship between the side mirror and the upper light and the lower light. By changing the above, the upper illumination that irradiates light from above the side mirror to the front of the three-sided mirror and the lower illumination that irradiates light from below the side mirror to the front of the three-sided mirror to the user side. The feature is that the light that reaches can be dimmed.
From this, when the side mirror is not moved, the direct light and / or the central mirror that directly illuminates the user without reflection after being irradiated from the central mirror and the lighting devices above and below the side mirror. After being illuminated from the lighting devices above and below the side mirror, it is reflected by the mirror surface and irradiates the user with light equivalent to direct light. You can experience a simulated scene of walking in the city, where the sun and the strong reflection from the road surface are received by the face. Then, when the side mirror is moved, the side mirror is above and below the side mirror without blocking the direct light and / or the mirror surface reflected light reaching the user side from the lighting devices above and below the central mirror. Only the direct light and / or the mirror reflected light reaching the user side from the lighting device located in is blocked, and the direct light and / or the mirror surface reflected light emitted from the lighting device above and below the side mirror is reduced. Because it shines, for example, it receives spot light, the front of the face is bright, and the side of the face is dark. You can experience a simulated scene in a sports gym where the front of the face is bright and the sides of the face are dark due to the light from the library and the downlight.
Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the lighting of the room, and by simply operating the mirror, the front of the face is bright and the sides of the face are dark, creating a positive contrast state of light incident on the user's face. It is possible to experience simulated indoor scenes, not just outdoors, and it is easy for women to use even when there is a time limit, and it is possible to apply appropriate makeup to various scenes that the user envisions.
In addition, when the user is located in front of the central mirror and moves the side mirror to the user side, by looking sideways at the side mirror, the state of the user's profile that can be seen by others can be confirmed. At the same time, no special preparation is required to reduce the intensity of the light incident on the profile of the user, and the time for preparing makeup can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

Further, in the vanity according to claim 2, the top lighting that irradiates light from above the side mirror to the front of the three-sided mirror according to the amount of movement of the side mirror to the user side. It is characterized in that the light that reaches the user side can be gradually dimmed from the underlighting that irradiates the light from below the side mirror to the front of the three-sided mirror.
From this, by moving the side mirror to the user side for the user located in front of the central mirror, the front of the face remains bright and the user gradually moves according to the amount to be moved. The side of the face can be darkened, and the side of the user's face can create a dark state that matches the darkness of the surrounding space.
Therefore, among the light incident states in which the front surface of the face is bright and the side surface of the face is dark in the positive contrast state according to claim 1, it is necessary to adjust the state of the light that hits the side surface of the face in particular. If you want to make fine adjustments while checking the profile of the user who is visible to others by looking sideways at the side mirror, for example, a scene where you sit indoors with your lover at the counter seat or a park at night. You can experience the scene of sitting on the bench in a simulated manner, and you can apply more appropriate makeup to the scene that the user envisions.

Further, in the bathroom vanity according to claim 3, the irradiation of light from the upper lighting to the three-sided mirror is characterized in that the amount of light is larger than the irradiation of light from the lower lighting to the three-sided mirror.
Because of this, the amount of light arriving from the upper lighting is larger than the amount of light arriving from the lower lighting, so the light radiated 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 to hit the light more realistically 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 from a streetlight 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.

Further, the bathroom vanity according to claim 4 is characterized in that the emission color of the lighting device can be switched by the operation of the user and can be selected from white and orange.
From this, it is possible to reproduce a hue close to morning and daylight in the white system, and to reproduce a hue close to dusk in the orange system.
Therefore, for example, the state of light received on the face outdoors in the morning, day 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 displayed in white, which is a color close to reality. You can select from a certain white color and an orange color, which is an orange color, and you can apply more appropriate makeup to the scene that the user envisions.

Further, in the vanity according to claim 5, light is emitted from above the side mirror to the front of the three-sided mirror on the back surface of the side mirror according to the amount of movement of the side mirror toward the user. By blocking the light emitted from the upper illumination that illuminates the mirror and the lower illumination that irradiates the light from below the side mirror to the front of the three-sided mirror, the light that reaches the front of the central mirror from the lighting device is gradually transmitted. It is characterized by being able to be dimmed.
From this, by moving the side mirror to the user side, the light emitted from the lighting devices located above and below the side mirror is blocked by the back surface of the side mirror, and above and below the side mirror. The light that reaches the front of the central mirror from the lighting device in can be gradually dimmed.
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, a movement detection sensor or the like is not required, and the cost can be suppressed. ..

Further, in the bathroom vanity according to claim 6, in the side mirror, the outer end of the side mirror rotates toward the user side with respect to the inner end of the side mirror with respect to the central mirror. It is characterized by.
From this, the amount of light that reaches the front of the central mirror from the lighting devices above and below the side mirror is stronger in the light coming from the inside of the side mirror with respect to the central mirror than in the light coming from the outside. The amount of light is continuously weakened from the outside toward 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, 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 adjusted by rotating the side mirror. Therefore, more appropriate makeup can be applied.
In addition, by looking sideways at the side mirror, 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 adjusted by rotating the side mirror. Therefore, more appropriate makeup can be applied.

According to the aspect of the present invention, it is not necessary to adjust the lighting of the room, and by a simple operation of operating the mirror, the front of the face is bright to the user's face and the side of the face is in a dark positive contrast state. By creating an incident state, you can experience simulated indoor scenes, not just outdoors in the daytime, and it is easy for women to use even when there is a time limit, and you can apply appropriate makeup to various scenes that the user envisions. Can be applied.
In addition, when the user is located in front of the central mirror and moves the side mirror to the user side, by looking sideways at the side mirror, the state of the user's profile that can be seen by others can be confirmed. At the same time, no special preparation is required to reduce the intensity of the light incident on the profile of the user, and the time for preparing makeup can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

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 diagonally downward side from the lower surface of the lower illumination unit 422. Moreover, the irradiation light Lk is irradiated to the front side.

The irradiation state of each light 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 has 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 contain 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. 1.

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, 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. 1.

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-back 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 than in the state of FIG. 4, the amount of light directly applied 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. 1.

In the mirror unit 410 of FIG. 6, after the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b are translated forward, the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b are moved in the direction of approaching each other in the left-right direction. be. 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 foreground 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 than in the state of FIG. 4, the amount of light directly applied to the user in front of the mirror unit 410 is reduced as compared with the state of FIG. Further, since more light radiated to the front of the central mirror 411 is blocked as compared with 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 radiated to the outer end of the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b, that is, the front of the left and right ends of the mirror unit 410 is not blocked, so that the state of FIG. 5 is compared with the state of FIG. 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 easy for women to use even when there are time constraints. 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 bathroom 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 lighting unit 422 uses both the irradiation to the mirror unit 410 and the irradiation to the counter unit 220 by the lower light source 422a, and it is not necessary to newly provide a lighting device to irradiate the counter unit 220. It leads to cost reduction, and the structure is not complicated, and the design can be maintained.
The lower lighting unit 422 may be divided into a lighting device that illuminates the mirror unit 410 and a lighting 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 user's face M standing in front of the bathroom 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 imitates the sunlight and the reflected light Ldr imitates 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 lighting unit 420 is Lu: Ld: Lk = 100: 40: 100. Here, the reflectance in the mirror unit 410 is about 90%, and the reflectance in the counter unit 220 is reflected by the resin, so that the attenuation rate of the light energy becomes large and becomes about 20%, which is the reflection that hits the user. The light amounts of the light Lur, Ldr, and Lkr are Lur: Ldr: Lkr = 90: 36: 20.

That is, the amount of 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. You can experience a simulated experience of how the light hits the light, which is stronger than the light reflected from the floor.
Therefore, 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 light, and you can apply appropriate makeup to various scenes that the user envisions.
In this embodiment, the mirror-reflected light reflected from the mirror unit 410 and the direct light are defined, and the diffusely reflected light reflected from the counter unit 220 and the mirror cabinet main body 430 is defined as indirect light.

Next, the light reflection state 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.
In this way, by moving the left mirror 412a forward, 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, when the left side mirror 412a is moved forward, the reflected light Lkr from the counter portion 220 may also be blocked by the back side of the left side mirror 412a. However, as the left side mirror 412a is moved forward, the amount of attenuation of the light that reaches the front is compared with the reflected light that irradiates the mirror unit 410 from the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 and reaches the front. The reflected light that irradiates the counter unit 220 from the lower illumination unit 422 and reaches the front is smaller.
The same phenomenon 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 bright, the side surface of the face is dark, and the indirect light reflected from the floor surface blurs the lower surface of the face by receiving the direct light from the pendant lighting. The front of the face is bright, the side of the face is dark, and the indirect light reflected from the floor receives 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 in 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 dark and the lower side of the face is vaguely bright, and you can experience the light state not only outdoors in the daytime but also outdoors and indoors at night. 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 in 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 set. When it exceeds a certain level, it will protrude forward from the lighting unit 420 from the end surface of the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b on the opposite side of the central mirror 411.
That is, the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b are gradually illuminated from the end opposite to the central mirror 411 of the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b according to the rotation angle α when the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b rotate forward. Move forward from unit 420.
At this time, in the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b 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 light Lur and Ldr. Will be done. That is, the reflected lights Lur and Ldr appear on a part of the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b located in front of the lighting unit 420 because the irradiation lights Lu and Ld from the lighting unit 420 are not incident and are not reflected. do not have.
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 Part of it 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 the 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 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 the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b. When the user is located in front of the central mirror, the left mirror 412a and / or the right mirror 412b can be seen sideways without moving the user's face M, because it cannot be obtained gradually from the outside. 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 can be seen by 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.
In addition, by looking sideways at the side mirror 412, it is possible to check the state of the user's profile that can be seen by 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.

FIG. 10 is a schematic upper sectional view showing a swing operation A and a light reflection state in the mirror cabinet in 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 light 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 mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b, and the left mirror 412a and the right mirror are not affected. The light emitted forward from the lighting devices located above and below the 412b is reflected when it is blocked by the back surfaces of the left mirror 412a and the right mirror 412b, and a part of the emitted light is a 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 to 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 a simulated scene on the stage where you receive the light.
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 of the user's face M and the front 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 it is 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.
In other words, since the front of the face is brighter and the sides of the face are darker, it is possible to experience a simulated scene of standing on a stage where the face receives spot light, 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 in 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 light 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 light Lur and Ldr 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 mirror 412a and the right 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. While dimming the light that reaches forward from the lighting device located below, 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. Indirect light reaches forward.

That is, when the left mirror 412a and the right 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 mirror 412a and the right 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 the lighting of the room does not need to be adjusted, 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 dimly bright. You can create a state and experience the light state not only outdoors in the daytime but also outdoors and indoors at night, it is easy for women to use even when there is a time constraint, and it is suitable for various scenes that the user envisions. You can apply makeup.

By simply moving the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b to the front, 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. Instead, the illuminance of the light that hits the user's face M can be adjusted.
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 light 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, for the user located in front of the central mirror 411, by moving the side mirror 412 forward, 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 according to the condition of the light that hits the side of the face, for example, you can experience the scene of sitting indoors at the counter seat or sitting on the bench in the 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 dimly brightened, and in particular, the light from the lighting and the reflected light from the floor surface are received. If you want to apply appropriate makeup to the side of the 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 state of light that can be reproduced 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.
In other words, it is possible to cut the direct light that was radiated forward without being affected by the amount of movement 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 illuminating unit 421 and the lower illuminating 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.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to these descriptions.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the side mirror 412 has the left side mirror 412a and the right side mirror 412b, but is not limited to the side mirror 412, and has only the left side mirror 412a or only the right side mirror 412b. May be good.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the upper illumination unit 421 and the lower illumination unit 422 irradiate light toward the respective 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 light toward the respective mirror surfaces of the central mirror, left mirror 412a, and right mirror 412b, only in the forward direction of the central mirror, left mirror 412a, and right mirror 412b. , It may be the one to irradiate light.
