Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a mirror device installed in a washroom or the like.

(Prior art) As an example of using a mirror device,
Publication No. 13589, Publication of Utility Model Publication No. 1983-77686, Publication of Utility Model Application No. 1983-1983
- Publication No. 144190 states that mirrors in bay windows, washbasin units, etc. can be moved left and right like sliding windows, moved up and down like a sliding window, or rotated to open and close like a casement window to provide ventilation. A transparent mirror device is disclosed.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the above-mentioned mirror devices, those that move horizontally or vertically require a dead space for movement, so mirrors built into bay windows, washbasin units, etc. that have limited storage space. As the mirror becomes smaller, the mirror moves left and right and up and down, so it is not always facing the user directly, and the user has to move their body toward the mirror device, which is troublesome. On the other hand, those that open and close have problems such as the angle of the mirror surface changing, which makes them difficult to use because they do not face the user in a fixed position.

Therefore, this invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.It does not require a dead space and is always in the same position in front of the user regardless of the state of movement of the mirror. To obtain a mirror device which can face each other and ensure ventilation by opening and closing the mirror.

(Means for solving the problem) As a means to achieve this, this invention incorporates a mirror body, which is a mirror with its reflective surface facing toward the indoor side, into a housing assembly, and incorporates it into a mirror holding frame. An operating mechanism is interposed and connected between the body and the mirror holding frame to enable the mirror to move in parallel to the indoor and outdoor directions, so that the opening of the mirror holding frame can be opened and closed by moving the mirror. This is what I did.

(Example) An example of a specific configuration of this invention shown in the drawings will be described in detail below.

The drawing shows an example in which a mirror device is implemented in a washroom bay window, and the bay window portion C is assembled by stacking a bay window sash frame 1 having a U-shape in plan and a wall panel P also having a U-shape in plan. At the same time, attach the eave body E to the sash frame 1, and attach the bottom plate F to the bottom of the wall panel P.
It is made by attaching. When viewed from above, the bay window sash frame 1 has mullions 5, 5 erected at intervals in the center of a U-shaped upper frame 2 and lower frame 3, and vertical frames 4 at both ends. , 4 are connected. Also, the bay window portion C is attached to the bay window opening of the frame wall A, and the wash basin B is installed in the bay window space formed on the indoor side of the wall panel P. Panels such as glass 6 are fitted into the corners between the vertical frame 4 and the direction 5 of the sash frame 1, respectively, and mirror bodies are fitted into the upper frame 2 and lower frame 3 for fitting between the two positions 5 and 5, respectively. The upper frame 8 for holding and the lower frame 9 for holding the mirror body are attached, and the vertical frames 10, 10 for holding the mirror body are attached to both positions 5, 5, respectively, to constitute the mirror body holding frame 7.

Reference numeral 11 is a mirror body, and the frame assembly 1 is formed by an upper stile 13, a lower stile 14, and vertical stile 15, 15.
A heat insulating panel 16 is fitted inside the heat insulating panel 2, and a mirror 17 is fixed to the indoor side of the heat insulating panel 16. The mirror body 11 is assembled into the opening D of the mirror body holding frame 7 and moved toward the indoor side, thereby opening and closing the opening D of the mirror body holding frame 7.

The operating mechanism 18 that performs this opening/closing is connected to the upper stile 13 of the mirror body 11, the upper frame 8 for holding the mirror body facing thereto, and the vertical frames 15, 15 on both sides and the vertical frames 10, 10 for holding the mirror body facing thereto. The concrete structure is as shown in Fig. 3, which consists of two arms 19.
a and 19b are pivotally connected with a pin 20 so that they intersect in an X shape, and one end of the arm 19a and a mounting bracket 21a attached to the mirror body holding frame side, for example, the vertical frame 10, are pivotally connected with a pin 24, and the other end and Mirror body side, for example, vertical stile 15
The mounting bracket 22b is connected to the mounting bracket 22b by slidably inserting a pin 25 attached to the other end into a slide hole 23 formed in the mounting bracket 22b. On the other hand, the arm 19b, like the arm 19a, has one end and a mounting bracket 22a on the mirror body side pivoted with a pin 24,
Mounting bracket 21b on the mirror body holding frame side with pin 25 at the other end
The connector is slidably inserted into the slide hole 23 of the connector and connected.

Reference numeral 26 denotes an insect repellent net, which is attached to the upper frame 8, lower frame 9, and both vertical frames 10, 10 of the mirror holding frame 7, and to the protruding walls 8a, 9a, 10a, 10a, respectively, which are provided on the outdoor side. A louver 27 is attached.
As a result, the insect screen 26 and the louver 27 are placed on the outdoor side of the mirror body 11 attached to the mirror body holding frame 7.

With this structure, when both arms 19a and 19b of the actuating mechanism 18 are in the closed state, the mirror body 11 is housed in the opening D of the mirror body holding frame 7 and held in the closed state. Therefore, the mirror 17 can be used as a washstand B without ventilation.

Also, when blowing air into the washbasin B, when the mirror body 11 is pulled out toward you, the operating mechanism 18 moves both arms 19a,
19b opens using pin 20 as a fulcrum, mirror body 1
1 moves in parallel to the interior side of the room as shown by the chain lines in FIGS. 1 and 2 while maintaining a perpendicular state to the mirror body holding frame 7, and the vertical and horizontal sides of the mirror body 11 are aligned with the mirror body holding frame 7. A ventilation gap 28 is formed in between, allowing cool air to be sent into the wash basin B, and the mirror 17
moves vertically toward the user, allowing the user to look in the mirror in a fixed position without having to change the orientation of the user's body.For example, when shaving, the user can lean out The mirror 17 can be seen without having to approach the mirror 17. Further, since an insect screen 26 and a louver 27 are attached to the outdoor side of the mirror body 11, it is possible to reliably prevent insects and rainwater from entering. In this example, the distance between the pillars is 3.
A washbasin bay window is attached to a narrow opening, and even if the opening is narrow, the necessary ventilation function is ensured without compromising sufficient lighting area or mirror area.

Although the mirror 11 in the above embodiment has the mirror 17 fixed to the frame assembly 12 and moves while maintaining the frame assembly 12 vertically and parallel to each other, the mirror body 11 is not limited to this. It may be tilted a little during movement, or it may be possible to tilt it to match the height of the user. For this purpose, for example, the mirror 17 is held inside the frame assembly 12 so that its angle can be changed, and the mirror assembly 12 is moved vertically and parallel to the frame assembly 12, or the mirror 17 is moved inside the frame assembly 12.
The angle of the frame assembly 12 can be changed arbitrarily along the way, and the frame assembly 12 may be configured to eventually face parallel to the front of the user.

Furthermore, the actuation mechanism 18 is not limited to a pantograph type mechanism, and a known mechanism capable of parallel movement may be used.

Further, in the above embodiment, the mirror body 11 is moved toward the indoor side, but instead, it may be moved toward the outdoor side.

Further, although the embodiment is a bathroom bay window, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be used in various mirror devices, such as a bathroom window that can serve both as a blindfold and a ventilation function.

(Effects of the invention) As described above in detail with respect to the embodiment, this invention moves the mirror body while maintaining a parallel state in the indoor and outdoor directions, so regardless of the state of movement of the mirror, it always moves. It can face the user directly, allowing the user to easily look at the mirror in a fixed position without having to change the direction of the user's body, and by opening and closing the mirror, cool air can enter through the ventilation gaps around the four sides. This can give the user a refreshing feeling.
Furthermore, since there is no dead space associated with moving the mirror, this space can be used effectively, and the lighting area can be reduced.
It is possible to provide a mirror device that is easy to use, such as ensuring the necessary ventilation function without impairing the mirror area.
