JPH0725094Y2 - Slide mirror with anti-fog - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention is a slide mirror with an anti-fog structure, in which the mirror is heated from the back side by a heater, and more specifically, it is used in a humid place such as a bathroom. The present invention relates to a slide mirror with an anti-fog function that prevents it from being fogged even if it is exposed.

[Prior Art] Generally, in a house, mirrors are attached or installed at various places.

For example, a mirror is attached to a wall in the bathroom for shaving, washing the face, and the like, and a mirror for the washbasin and makeup is attached to the vanity.

By the way, since the humidity in the bathroom is very high, the surface of the mirror may be clouded by water vapor, which makes it difficult to shave or wash the face.

Further, when the vanity is placed in a high humidity place, for example, near a bathroom, the surface of the mirror may be clouded by water vapor, which may make it difficult to wash or make up.

Therefore, in recent years, various anti-fog mirrors have been provided which are prevented from being fogged by water vapor even when used in such a humid place.

As one of such anti-fog mirrors, there is one in which a heater is provided on the back side of the mirror to heat the mirror from the back side and thereby prevent the surface of the mirror from being fogged.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, since such an anti-fog mirror requires electric wiring, it is generally fixed on a wall or the like and used, and the mirror itself slides. There was no such anti-fog product.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a slide mirror with anti-fog, which is slidable but does not fog even when used in a high humidity place and can always maintain a clear state. And

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an upper rail, a mirror slidably supported by the upper rail via a suspension member, and a mirror on the back side of the mirror. A heater provided, a storage battery attached to any part of the mirror, and a lower rail that slidably supports the lower part of the mirror via a support member, and the mirror is in a predetermined position In addition, power is supplied to the heater from an external power source, and power is supplied to the heater from the storage battery when the mirror is at another position.

[Operation] The mirror according to the present invention is slidable, and in the energized state, power is supplied to the heater from the external power source when the mirror is in a predetermined position, the mirror is heated, and when the mirror is in another position, the battery is used The heater is energized and also heats the mirror, so that at any position the mirror is warmed from the back side and no water vapor condenses on the surface of the mirror.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG.

In these figures, 10 is a makeup rack, and the makeup rack 10 is
It consists of a shelf body 20 and a slide mirror 30.

The shelf main body 20 includes a horizontally provided top plate 21, a bottom plate 22 provided in parallel with the top plate 21 at a lower position with a predetermined distance from the top plate 21, and each end of the top plate 21 and the bottom plate 22. A pair of side plates 23, 23 standing up and down so as to connect the parts, a top plate 21 and a bottom plate 2
3 shelves horizontally arranged at a predetermined interval between 2
4 and a back plate 25 that covers each of these plates from the back side.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a main part of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, an upper rail 26 is attached to a lower portion on the front side (left side in FIG. 3) of the top plate 21 along the front edge of the top plate 21.

The upper rail 26 is made of a long material having a substantially U-shaped cross section,
The opening faces downward. A pair of protrusions 27, 27 protruding inward are formed at the edge of the opening of the upper rail 26.

The slide mirror 30 includes a mirror 31, a heater 32 formed on the back side of the mirror 31, and a support plate 33 laminated on the back side of the mirror 31 via the heater 32.

The mirror 31 includes a transparent glass plate 34 and a metal reflection film 35 formed on the back surface of the glass plate 34 so as to cover it.

A pair of contacts (not shown) electrically connected to both terminals of the heater 32 are provided at predetermined positions of the support plate 33, and a part of the support plate 33 is arranged in parallel with the heater 32. The connected battery 36 is buried.

A heater is provided at the lower position on the front side (left side in FIG. 3) of the mirror 31.
A switch 37 for turning on / off between 32 and the contact or the battery 36 is attached.

When a predetermined position of the shelf main body 20, that is, when the mirror 31 is at the central position of the shelf main body 20, another pair of contacts (not shown) is provided at a position where the contacts of the support plate 33 come into contact.

Then, by a switching means (not shown), when the mirror 31 is in the central position, power is supplied from the external power source to the heater 32, and when the mirror 31 is in another position, power is supplied from the battery 36 to the heater 32. Has become.

The pair of contacts provided on the shelf body 20 are electrically connected to a DC12V external power source (not shown). The wiring on the input side of the switch 37 is grounded. Therefore, this slide mirror is safe to use even in a humid place.

A suspension member 40 is attached to the upper end of the support plate 33. The suspension member 40 includes a neck portion 41 connected to the support plate 33, a head portion 42 formed on the upper portion of the neck portion 41, and a pair of wheels 43, 43 rotatably attached to both sides of the head portion 42. ..

The wheels 43, 43 of the suspension member 40 are rotatably mounted on the protrusions 27, 27 of the upper rail 26.

A lower rail 28 is provided on the lower part of the front side (left side in FIG. 3) of the bottom plate 22.
Are attached along the front edge of the bottom plate 22. The lower rail 28 is made of a long material having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and the opening thereof faces downward.

A support member 38 is provided with a screw 39 on the lower side of the back side of the slide mirror 30.
Installed by. The support member 38 has a U-shaped cross section, and the opening portion faces upward.

The end of the support member 38 is slidably engaged with the inside of the lower rail 28.

Next, the case of using this slide mirror will be described.

When the mirror is in the center position, when the switch 37 is turned on, an electric current is supplied to the heater 32 from an external power source to heat the heater 32, and this heat heats the mirror 31 from the back side, whereby the mirror 31 is heated. Water vapor will not condense on the surface.

Also, in this state, the battery 36 is connected in parallel with the heater 32 and is charged.

Then, in this state, when the slide mirror 30 is slid in one of the directions indicated by arrows A and B, power is not supplied from the external power supply, but current is supplied from the battery 36 to the heater 32 by the switching means. The slide mirror 30 is always warm and does not fog.

In the above description, the battery is switched by the switching means.
It is supposed that the current is supplied from the heater 36 to the heater 32, but when the slide mirror 30 is in the predetermined position, the switch 37 is turned off.
Even in this state, the battery 36 can be formed so that current is supplied to the battery 36 so that the battery 36 is always charged.

If formed in this manner, no matter where the slide mirror 30 is located, the heater 32 receives power regardless of whether the power is supplied from the external power source or the battery 36 when the switch 37 is turned on. The heater 32 is supplied to heat the heater 32 and prevent the slide mirror 30 from being fogged.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, the present invention, which is slidable, does not fog when exposed to a high-humidity atmosphere, and can be used in a clear state at all times. .
