Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a makeup mirror unit having a makeup mirror body equipped with a mirror, lighting, and a storage shelf, and particularly to a structure for attaching a guard bar to the shelf.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional structure for mounting a guard bar in a makeup mirror unit is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 56-2890.

As shown in FIG. 8, a thin synthetic resin sheet 50 forming the makeup mirror body is passed through the side wall 52 of a storage shelf 51 recessed in the back direction, and both ends of the guard bar 53 are placed. A wedge 54 is provided on the back side of the seat 50 to engage with and fixedly support the end of the guard bar 53.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In such a conventional structure, since the guard bar 53 is located within the storage shelf section 51, the area on which articles are placed tends to become smaller. To solve this problem, the depth dimension of the makeup mirror body can be increased, but since the synthetic resin sheet 50 is manufactured by vacuum forming, the thickness of the sheet 50 becomes even thinner and the strength is reduced. cause trouble. Also, sheet 50
Although it is possible to prevent this by increasing the wall thickness of the device itself, problems such as increased cost remain.

Furthermore, since the wall thickness of the guard bar 53 is approximately the same in the main body portion and the mounting base that penetrates the side wall 52, a gap is created when the guard bar 53 is inserted into the mounting hole in the side wall 52, and dust etc. may accumulate in this portion. It's easy to use, and there are hygiene issues as well.

Further, the wedge 54 is inserted through the locking portion of the guard bar 53 and fixed therein, and since the wedge 54 is positioned in line contact with the opening edge of the locking portion, the guard bar 53
There is also the aspect that a large acting force is applied to both ends, making it easy to break.

[Means and actions for solving problems]

The present invention is a cosmetic mirror unit in which a shelf is formed on the front surface of a cosmetic mirror body made of a synthetic resin sheet, and a guard bar is fixed to the shelf. A guard bar installation opening is provided on the front side, and the guard bar has a flange on both ends of the back and a claw piece that protrudes rearward and fits into the mounting opening, and grooves are provided on both the left and right sides of the claw piece. The guard bar is connected and fixed to the seat by a fixture having a pair of legs that taper-fit into the grooves of the claws and whose front surfaces abut against the back surface of the seat.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a makeup mirror unit according to the present invention, where A is a cabinet, B is a washbasin, and 1 is a makeup mirror body integrally connected to a back guard C at the rear of the washbasin B.

The makeup mirror body 1 is made of a thin synthetic resin sheet 2, with a mirror 3 disposed in the center, shelves 4 protruding forward on both sides, and a ball lamp 5 for illumination at the top end. It is installed.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the - line arrow in FIG. A shelf frame 6 extending in the vertical direction is formed to protrude forward.

10 is a guard bar attached to each shelf 4 to prevent the placed articles from falling off; 20 is a fixture for fixing the guard bar 10 to the shelf frame 6; an exploded perspective view of both is shown in FIG. .

The guard bar 10 is made of ABS resin and has a substantially arched shape to match the outer contour of the shelf 4. The guard bar 10 has a flange 11 formed on the back of both ends.
A claw piece 12 is formed on the.

This claw piece 12 has a flange portion 11 at its upper end portion.
A notch 13 is provided to create a gap between the two, and grooves 14 are formed on both sides as shown in FIG. The groove 14 has an irregular cross section with a vertical surface 15 on the flange 11 side and a tapered surface 16 on the back side with the distance from the vertical surface 15 decreasing toward the lower end.

The fixture 20 has a knob 21 horizontally formed on its upper end, and the groove 14 of the guard bar 10 extends from the knob 21 to the groove 14 of the guard bar 10.
It has a bifurcated shape with two legs 22 that fit together,
Slanted parts 23 are formed at the lower ends of the legs 22 to facilitate fitting of the guard bar 10 from above, and grooves 14 of the claw pieces 12 are formed on the back surfaces of both the legs 22, reducing toward the lower ends. A tapered portion 24 is provided which is in surface contact with the tapered surface 16 formed in the.

The guard bar 10 having the above structure is attached to the makeup mirror body 1 by attaching it to the shelf frame 6 of the seat 2 as shown in FIG.
Insert the claw piece 12 portion into the installation opening 7 opened in the direction of arrow A in the figure, and then tilt the whole part horizontally to form the notch 13 between the claw piece 12 and the flange 11 of the sheet 2. Fit on both sides.

Next, hold both legs 22 of the fixture 20 so as to sandwich the groove 14 of the claw piece 12, and push down the knob 21 with your fingers to move it downward to the state shown in FIG. 7. In this case, the tapered surface 16 of the claw piece 12 and the tapered portion 24 of the leg portion 22 come into surface contact, and the guard bar 10 can be firmly connected and fixed by the wedge effect between the two. After this fixation, the fixture 20 may be integrally bonded to the back surface of the sheet 2 with hot melt.

As described above, when the guard bar 10 is connected to the seat 2, both end backs of the guard bar 10 are fixed to the front part of the makeup mirror body 1, so the area of the shelf section 4 can be widened as shown in FIG. Capacity can be increased.

In addition, since there is no need to increase the amount of protrusion from the back of the shelf frame 6, the strength of the makeup mirror body 1, which is vacuum-formed from a synthetic resin sheet, can be maintained sufficiently, and the cost can be reduced without increasing the thickness of the sheet 2. Can be reduced.

Furthermore, the mounting opening 7 is completely covered by the flange 11, so there are no gaps or the like, preventing dust from accumulating on the surface, and dirt, etc. can be easily wiped off, making it hygienic to use. .

[Effect of idea]

The makeup mirror unit according to the present invention has the following effects due to its configuration.

Since the back of the guard bar, which has both ends bent toward the back, is fixed to the front of the makeup mirror body, the guard bar attachment part of the makeup mirror body can be located on the back side, reducing the depth of the seat and increasing the strength of the makeup mirror body. As the size increases, the storage area of the shelf can be expanded.

Since the guard bar and the fixture engage with each other through surface contact with the tapered surfaces, the force applied to the claw portion of the guard bar can be reduced, and breakage and destruction can be prevented.
