[0013]   Tilt the mirror so that it faces rearward and upward, and set it at an angular position according to the sitting height of the user. Can be placed.

[0014]

【Example】

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, which is a passenger compartment under a windshield (1). Instrument panel (2) (or dashboard. The right half of the steering wheel (3) and instrument panel (face) face the driver's seat. 4) is provided.

[0015]   In the left half of the panel (2), a concave case (5) with an open top is formed. A cover plate (6) is provided near the upper edge of the windshield (1) as shown in FIG. Rotate between a vertical standing position and a closed position that closes the top opening of the case (5). In order to be able to do so, it is pivotally supported by a pair of left and right support shafts (7, 7). Stand up the lid plate (6) For example, the well-known click stop is used to hold the position when the position is set. Alternatively, an appropriate locking means such as a holding device by frictional force is attached to the pivot portion. .

[0016]   The lid plate (6) forms a part of the panel (2) when the lid plate (6) is lowered to the closed position. And has a shape that is flush with the upper surface of the panel (2). First, a mirror (8) is attached to the back side. On the upper edge of the mirror (8), edge material (9) Is fixed. The edge material (9) is appropriately projected from the surface of the mirror (8) and will be described later. For lifting hands, and when lowered to the closed position, the front side of the case (5) It is attached at a position where it abuts against and engages with the upper edge.

[0017]   As shown in FIG. 2, the mirror (8) can slide upward with respect to the cover plate (6) in the standing position. It is attached to Noh. For this purpose, guide rails (10) and (10) are attached to the left and right edges of the cover plate (6). The mirror (8) is supported so that it can slide up and down, and the lower edge is provided with a contact member (11). The limit position is decided. With the mirror (8) lowered to the lower limit position, The edge material (9), the left and right guide rails (10), (10), and the contact material (11) are the amount of the mirror (8). Form a rim.

[0018]   On the surface (12) of the cover plate (6) that contacts the back surface of the mirror (8), attach a felt cloth, a rubber plate, or the like. Attached to form a cushion that protects the mirror (8), and the mirror ( 8) is kept at an arbitrary height.

[0019]   To use the mirror stand shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, move the cover plate (6) from the closed position to the standing position. It is rotated and locked by click stop etc., and the mirror (8) is fixed by the edge material (9). It may be slid upward and installed at a desired height according to the sitting height of the user. to this As a result, the passenger in the passenger seat can move his or her face in a natural and comfortable posture, and , The size of the mirror (8) in the vertical direction can be made close to the depth of the panel (2). Then, it is possible to make the size considerably large, and it becomes possible to transfer the entire face.

[0020]   FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the present invention, in which the cover plate (6) and the support shaft (7) are as described above. Is similar to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2. In this example, the upper edge of the mirror (13) is Pivot the upper edge of the cover plate (6) in the upright position so that the surface of the mirror (8) faces upward and rearward. The tilted mirror is mounted by tilting the supporting arm (14) at a proper position on the side edge of the cover plate (6). The (8) is held at a required angular position. This angular position is It may be selected according to the sitting height of the user so that the face can be moved in a comfortable posture.   Also, the mirror (8) is a double-sided mirror, and is inverted upward as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. You may make it usable.

[0021]   As described above, the mirror stand of the present invention is used by a woman sitting in the passenger seat when applying makeup. , You can move the whole face to the mirror (8) with a natural posture, You can use it comfortably. Also, a case formed below the cover plate (6). Cosmetics, tissues, etc. can be stored in the space (5), which is extremely convenient. It is profitable.

[0022]   In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the case where the mirror stand of the present invention is incorporated in the passenger side panel is However, assuming that it will be used while the vehicle is parked or stopped, it may be installed on the driver's side. Good. However, the instrument panel (4) is installed on the driver side panel as shown in Fig. 1. Since it is usually not possible to form case (5) because there is -Only (8) will be pivoted so that it can be undulated, but in that case also, it should be used as a mirror stand for makeup. Therefore, there is an advantage that a larger mirror can be used than a rearview mirror.

[0023]

[Effect of device]

  (a) When applying makeup, etc., inside the car, keep your face in a natural and comfortable posture. Larger mirrors can be used that are totally transparent.

[0024]   (b) When not in use, place the lid plate in the closed position forming part of the top surface of the panel. Since it can be lowered, it does not hinder the driver's view and does not hinder driving.
