Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a mirror mounting structure.

(Prior Art) Recently, large mirrors such as full-length mirrors have been installed in washrooms and the like. Also, such large mirrors have been used in combination with counters and washbasins as system vanities.

An example of a system vanity that uses a large mirror will be explained with reference to Fig. 7. The figure shows a system vanity installed in a recess A installed in a washroom (such a recess A is located in the construction of a washroom). This figure shows the system vanity installed inside the base B.
It is constructed by combining a counter D with a washbasin C on top and a large mirror E attached to the wall W of the recess A. Such a system dressing table is manufactured by setting the widths of the base B, counter D, and mirror E to dimensions corresponding to the opening F of the recess A in advance for installation in the recess A.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the system vanity table as described above, the dimensions of the base B, counter D, and mirror E are set in advance to a width corresponding to the opening F. The reality is that in some places, the dimensions are not necessarily the same, and each washroom is slightly different.

For this reason, conventionally, especially when the opening F is narrow, processing such as cutting the width of the base B and the counter C is performed on site. However, it is not easy to cut and finish the mirror E on-site, and there is a problem in that the mirror must be taken home, cut to a predetermined size, and then returned to the site for installation.

Problems associated with installing a mirror like this are not limited to the case where it is installed in recess A as part of the system dressing table as described above, but even when installing the mirror alone, the installation space is limited by existing furniture, etc. The same thing happens when you are

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the problems of the prior art described above, the mirror mounting structure of the present invention is a mirror mounting structure for mounting a mirror on a fixed part such as a wall with a predetermined mounting width. , a plurality of mirror mounting members are attached to the fixed part, one of them
one is attached to one end of the mounting width, and the other one is attached to the other end of the mounting width, and the mirror is attached to the one mirror mounting member and the other mirror. It is configured to straddle the mounting member and be attached to these in an overlapping state.

(Function) In the mirror mounting structure of the present invention, the mirror is appropriately narrower than the predetermined mounting width, and as a result, even if there are slight differences in the mounting width depending on the installation location, the mirror itself is Fits within the installation width. Further, since the mirror mounting member is located at the end of the mounting width, the difference between the mounting width and the width of the mirror is compensated by the mirror mounting member. That is, even if the mounting width varies depending on the installation location, the mirror itself does not require any processing such as cutting and finishing on site, and the mirror mounting member can be positioned at the site according to the mounting width. Furthermore, by attaching a mirror to the mirror mounting member, a full mirror state can also be obtained.

(Example) Next, an example of this invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the mirror mounting structure of this embodiment, and the illustrated mirror is a large rectangular main mirror 1.
It consists of a pair of rectangular side mirrors 2, 2, which have the same vertical dimension as the main mirror 1 but a smaller horizontal dimension. Each side mirror 2 is fixed to a mirror mounting plate 3, and the mirror mounting plate 3 has a contact plate portion 3a adjacent to one side of the side mirror 2 and flush with the side mirror 2.

The mirror mounting plates 3, 3 are provided with screw holes 3b, 3b, respectively, and as shown in FIG. is fixed. This fixing position is determined so that the distance L between the contact plate part 3a and the opposite end of the mirror mounting plates 3 on both sides matches the predetermined mounting width of the mirror, for example, the opening F explained in the above conventional example. There is.

The main mirror 1 is connected to the side mirrors 2 and 2 as shown in Fig. 3.
2, and the back surface is in contact with a part of each side mirror 2 and the front surface of the contact plate 3a connected thereto, as shown in FIG. It is becoming. The position of the main mirror 1 relative to each side mirror 2 is fixed using each contact plate 3.
Mirror fixtures 6, 6 provided at the upper and lower ends of a
and mirror holders 7, 7, and this fixing structure will be explained below.

As shown in FIG. 4, the mirror fixture 6 has a U-shape having a long piece 8 and a short piece 9. A long hole 11 is provided for vertically movable attachment. The function of this elongated hole 11 will be explained later. The mirror fixture 6 is made of a flexible material, and the distance between the tip of the long piece 8 and the short piece 9 is set to be slightly smaller than the thickness of the main mirror 1 in a free state. As a result, in the attached state shown in the figure, the upper end of the main mirror 1 is fitted and held by the corresponding mirror fixture 6. On the other hand, like the mirror fixture 6, the mirror holder 7 has a U-shape into which the end of the main mirror 1 fits, and is fixed to the contact plate 3a via screws 12.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

In the mirror mounting structure of this embodiment, the mirror mounting plates 3, 3 are first fixed to the wall 5 before the main mirror 1 is mounted. As described above, these mirror mounting plates 3, 3 can be fixed with screws 4 to 4 at various distances L depending on the mounting width of the mirror, for example, the opening. Moreover, a mirror fixture 6 and a mirror holder 7 are attached in advance to the upper and lower ends of each mirror mounting plate 3.
is attached, and the long piece 8 of the mirror fixture 6 is fixed at the lower end position of the long hole 11 with a screw 10.
The lower end of the short piece 9 is positioned slightly above the upper end of the corresponding mirror mounting plate 3, that is, the upper end of the side mirror 2.

Next, the lower end of the main mirror 1 is first fitted into each mirror holder 7 so that it evenly overlaps the side mirrors 2 on both sides. Incidentally, this operation is performed with the main mirror 1 being slightly tilted. Next, the main mirror 1 is raised up and brought into close contact with the side mirror 2 and the contact plate portion 3a. In this state, when each mirror fixture 6 is driven downward with an appropriate tool, each mirror fixture 6 is screwed into place by the screw 1 due to the presence of the elongated hole 11.
While maintaining the attachment state to the contact plate part 3a by 0, it moves downward and fits into the upper end of the main mirror 1. As a result, the main mirror 1 is fixed to the mirror mounting plates 3, 3.

That is, in the mirror mounting structure of this embodiment, the main mirror 1
The width of the mirror 1 is set appropriately smaller than the predetermined mounting width of the opening, etc., and the missing part is compensated for by the mirror mounting plates 3, 3, so that various mounting widths can be accommodated without the need to cut the mirror 1. can.

In this embodiment, a space 13 is formed between the main mirror 1 and the wall 5 as shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, an anti-fog heater 14 can be attached to the back surface of the main mirror 1. In addition, as fixtures for the main mirror 1, there are not only the above-mentioned mirror fixtures 6, 6 and mirror holders 7, 7, but also a mirror fixture 15 having an L-shaped cross section as shown in FIG.
You may also use One part 15a of this mirror fixture 15, which is perpendicular to each other, is fixed to the upper or lower end surface of the mirror mounting plates 3, 3, and the other part 15a
The front surface of the main mirror 1 is locked by b.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the side mirror 2 is mounted on the mirror mounting plate 3.
By attaching the main mirror 1, the entire surface becomes a mirror, but a decorative board or the like may be attached instead of the side mirror 2.

(Effects of the invention) The mirror mounting structure of the present invention allows the mirror to be mounted without requiring any processing on the mirror itself even if the mounting width of the mirror varies depending on the installation location, making the mirror installation work easier. It also has the advantage of being able to handle installations with various mounting widths that are not specified.
