The spring cover piece 6 is elastically contacted with the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the illumination cover 8 to fix the illumination cover 8 to the illumination portion 4, and the back end surface of the illumination cover 8 is fixed to the stopper piece 7 of the holder 5. It is characterized by being brought into contact with.

[0006]

[Action]

 By bringing the back end surface of the lighting cover 8 into contact with the stopper piece 7 provided on the holder 5, it is possible to use the holder 5 to position the fitting depth of the lighting cover 8 into the lighting unit 4. it can.

[0007]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments. The mirror cabinet 2 is made by vacuum forming a resin plate, and as shown in FIG. 4, the mirror 1 is attached to the front surface at a substantially central portion thereof. A glass shelf 10 is attached to the lower side of the mirror 1, and an outlet 11 and a switch 12 for operating the lighting fixture 3 are attached to the lower end of the mirror cabinet 2. Then, on both sides of the mirror 1 of the mirror cabinet 2, illumination portions 4 are formed so as to open the front surface. The illumination part 4 is formed by partially bending the mirror cabinet 2 by vacuum forming as shown in FIG. 1. Engaging concave step parts 13 are vertically formed on both inner surfaces of the illumination part 4. It is provided over almost the entire length. A lighting fixture 3 formed by including a lamp 14 and the like is mounted in the lighting unit 4.

The holder 5 is formed by bending a metal plate as shown in FIG. 3. The holder 5 includes a fixing piece 16 having a fixing hole 15 and a spring pressing piece 6, and has a substantially L-shaped cross section. The spring pressing piece 6 is bent in a substantially V shape, and the guide inclined piece 17 is provided at the front portion. Further, the stopper piece 7 is cut and raised at the base of the spring pressing piece 6 and is integrally provided by bending outward at a substantially right angle. The holder 3 is preferably made of stainless steel in order to obtain high elasticity. The holder 3 is fixed to the both sides of the inner surface of the illumination section 4 by fixing pieces 16 such as screws and rivets which are passed through the fixing holes 15 to fix the fixing pieces 16 as shown in FIGS. The stopper piece 7 of each holder 3 is brought into contact with the inner surface of the illuminating section 4 and the blade pressing piece 6 is elastically contacted with the inner surface of the illuminating section 4.

The illumination cover 8 is a molded product of a resin such as milky white and is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section with a rear surface opened, and an engaging convex step portion 19 is enormous at the back end of the peripheral wall thereof. Thus, it is formed over substantially the entire length above and below. However, the lighting cover 8 can be attached to the lighting unit 4 of the mirror cabinet 2 to cover the lighting fixture 3 in the following manner. That is, when the back part of the lighting cover 8 is inserted and fitted into the lighting part 4, the peripheral wall of the lighting cover 8 is guided by the guide slanting piece 17 so that the spring pressing piece 6 of the holding tool 5 and the inner surface of the lighting part 4 are joined together. The spring pressing piece 6 is elastically contacted with the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the lighting cover 8 so that the peripheral wall of the lighting cover 8 is sandwiched between the spring pressing piece 6 and the inner surface of the lighting section 4. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the back end surface of the lighting cover 8 abuts the stopper piece 7 of the holder 5 to prevent the lighting cover 8 from being inserted into the lighting unit 4 any more, and The fitting depth of the lighting cover 8 is positioned. Since the illuminating part 4 is formed by vacuum forming as described above, it is not possible to bend the inner corner shown by the arrow in FIG. Absent. Therefore, the lighting cover 8 cannot be positioned by bringing the back end of the lighting cover 8 into contact with the inner corner of the lighting unit 4 which causes such a radius, but as shown in FIG. The lighting cover 8 can be attached to the lighting unit 4 by the spring pressing piece 6 of the holder 5 while the depth of fitting into the lighting unit 4 is positioned by the stopper piece 7 of the holder 5. By engaging the engaging convex step portion 19 of the lighting cover 8 with the engaging concave step portion 13 of the portion 4, it is possible to prevent a gap from being generated between the outer surface of the lighting cover 8 and the inner surface of the illuminating portion 4. Is done.

[0010]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the lighting unit having the lighting fixture is provided in the front of the mirror cabinet provided with the mirror, and the spring holding piece is provided to the holder fixed in the lighting unit. A stopper piece is integrally projecting from the holder at the base, and the back of the lighting cover, which has a substantially U-shaped cross section with an opening on the back, is fitted into the lighting section and the spring retainer is elastically attached to the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the lighting cover. By fixing the lighting cover to the lighting part so that the back end surface of the lighting cover abuts on the stopper piece of the holder, the spring holding piece of the holder holds down the peripheral wall of the lighting cover to fix the lighting cover to the lighting part. The back end surface of the lighting cover comes into contact with the stopper piece of the holder, so that the depth of the fitting of the lighting cover into the lighting unit can be determined. Those that can be attached in the correct position by positioning the light cover to use.
