【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of this embodiment. Reference numeral 1 denotes a lower holder for holding the lower end of the mirror, which is a plate-shaped member having a substantially U-shaped cross section, which is screwed to a mirror attachment surface such as a door or a wall surface with the concave portion facing upward. Are fitted. The one piece on the screwing side is formed larger than the one piece on the opposite side, and is easily screwed on.

Reference numeral 2 denotes an upper holder for holding the upper end of the mirror, which is a plate-shaped member having a substantially U-shaped cross section like the lower holder 1, and is a pair with the lower holder 1 for holding the mirror 4. It fits and holds. The upper holder 2 is screwed with the recess facing downward, and the hole for this is an elongated hole 2a. Therefore, the upper holder 2 can be slid in the vertical direction by loosening the screw.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a fixing member, which is a plate-like member whose one end is bent in a key shape. When the upper holding tool 2 is pushed down, the key-shaped part is brought into contact with the concave portion of the upper holding tool 2 and is pressed from above. It is screwed on. Therefore, the distance between the upper holder 2 and the lower holder 1 is defined, and the upper holder 2 is fixed so as not to move upward.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view for explaining the procedure for fixing the mirror 4 with the configuration described above. (A) shows a state in which the lower holder 1 and the upper holder 2 are combined with the fixing member 3 and screwed onto the mirror attachment surface. However, the upper holder 2 is slid upward by loosening the screw so that the mirror 4 can be easily attached. Reference numeral 4 denotes a mirror, which is not attached yet in this figure. (B) shows the state where the mirror 4 is fitted to the lower holder 1 in the above state. Further, (C) shows a state in which the upper holding tool 2 is pushed down to fit the upper end of the mirror, and the upper holding tool 2 and the fixing member 3 are screwed by the screw 5.

Since the upper holder 2 is thus fixed, unlike the conventional example, the threaded portion for fixing the upper holder 2 to the mirror mounting surface is not conspicuous, and the makeup cap 6 is also fixed. No longer needed. As a result, the mirror is prevented from falling while keeping its appearance well and clean, so the present invention is particularly suitable for the case where the mirror is large and has a feeling of grade. Further, unlike the conventional example, it is not necessary to form a protrusion on the upper holder 2 and screw the protrusion to fix the upper holder 2; therefore, the upper holder 2 is connected to the lower holder 1. It is also possible to share.

In this embodiment, one end of the fixing member 3 is screwed together with the lower holding tool 1, but the fixing member 3 is shortened, the lower end is screwed to the mirror attachment surface, and the key-like portion at the upper end is formed. May be screwed together with the upper holder 2 from above. Further, the fixing member 3 may be further shortened so that the lower end is screwed together with the elongated hole 2a of the upper holder 2. However, it is convenient to define the distance between the lower holder 1 and the upper holder 2 by the fixing member 3 as in the present embodiment because the position of the screw hole can be easily determined.

A second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. Similar to the first embodiment, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the configuration of this embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view for explaining the procedure for fixing the mirror 4. In this embodiment, instead of the plate-like body shown in the first embodiment, an elastic tube material having a hollow interior is used as the fixing member 3 so as to also serve as a back-up for the back surface of the mirror 4. As the material of the fixing member 3, a material such as soft vinyl chloride resin or hard rubber that does not easily expand and contract with a weak force and has elasticity to some extent is used.

The fixing member 3 used in this embodiment is a flat rectangular columnar body as shown in FIG. 3, which is a flexible vinyl chloride elastic tube material having a hollow inside. As shown in FIG. 4, the screw head is perforated so that the head of the screw is retained inside the tube when it is attached. By doing so, the head of the screw does not contact the back surface of the mirror, and the cushioning property of the elastic tube material can be effectively used. The procedure for attaching the mirror 4 is exactly the same as in the first embodiment, but in this embodiment, as shown in (C), the hole of the tube is used as a screw hole to connect the upper holder 2 and the elastic tube member. I try to screw it on.
