TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a mirror attached to a bathroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A mirror attached to a bathroom is liable to get cloudy when taking a bath. The reason why a mirror gets cloudy when bathing is that the water vapor from the hot water in the bathtub fills the bathroom and the water vapor is cold. This is because it hits the surface of and becomes water drops. For this reason, it is often practiced to pour hot water over a cloudy mirror to warm the mirror and remove the cloudiness, or to apply soap to the surface of the mirror to prevent the cloudy weather. Further, a method is also used in which a heat ray is wired on the back side of the mirror and the surface of the mirror is warmed by the heat of the heat ray to remove cloudiness.

[0003]

The method of applying hot water to the surface of the mirror in order to remove the cloudy weather is that the surface of the mirror is not cloudy for the time being, but the heat of the applied hot water immediately cools,
In addition, it quickly becomes cloudy and it is inconvenient to apply the soap to the surface of the mirror because the bubbles of the soap make it difficult to see the mirror.

The method of wiring the heat rays on the back side of the mirror not only requires a large-scale laying work for the wiring, but also the surface of the mirror does not immediately warm up even when the heat ray switch is turned on, so it is difficult to get cloudy. , To prevent the mirror from getting cloudy, it was necessary to leave the heat ray switch on and the electricity bill was high.

Therefore, the present invention pays attention to a large amount of hot water existing in a bathing bath, and skillfully utilizes this hot water to instantly exhibit the anti-fog function of the mirror by a simple usage and to maintain the anti-fog effect. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bathroom mirror that can be maintained for an adequate amount of time, is easy to install, and is economical.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a box body having a mirror surface on the front side and a space on the back side of the mirror surface is formed, and hot water for pouring hot water into the space section is provided on the upper surface side of the box body. The present invention is characterized in that an inlet is opened and a bottom hole is formed on the lower surface side, and a stopcock for opening and closing the bottom hole is provided.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a rectangular box body 1 made of synthetic resin and having an open front surface is formed, and on the front surface, as shown in FIG. Is attached so that the mirror surface 2 is on the front side (outside), and the back side of the mirror plate 13 is formed so as to be the space portion 10 inside the box body 1.

The shapes of the box body 1 and the end plate 13 are not limited to rectangles, but may be various shapes such as circles and polygons.

A hot water inlet 3 for pouring hot water into the space 10 of the box 1 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the box 1. Hot water entrance 3
May be formed by forming a hole in the center of the upper surface of the box body 1 after attaching the end plate 13 to the box body 1, but before attaching the end plate 13 to the box body 1, the opening edge of the upper surface of the box body 1 may be formed. It can be easily formed by cutting out the central part in a concave shape. In addition, in order to add hot water to the space 10, it is often the case that hot water from the bathtub or hot water from the faucet is drawn in with a washbasin, so the hot water inlet 3 is wide open so that it is easy to add hot water to the washbasin. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, a funnel-shaped hot water receiving portion 14 may be provided above the hot water inlet 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, a hot water draining hole 4 is provided in the central portion on the lower surface side of the box body 1 for removing hot water contained in the box body 1. Then, on the outside of the lower surface of the box body 1, a hot water conduit 5 continuous from the hot water removal hole 4 is attached. A male screw groove 6 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the hot water conduit 5, and a lid-shaped hot water stopper 7 having a female screw groove on the inner peripheral surface is detachably screwed at the front end of the hot water conduit 5. I am trying to match.

The hot water drainage hole 4, the hot water conduit 5 and the hot water stopper 7 are not limited to the above-described structures. For example, a screw groove is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the hot water conduit 5 to form a screw stopper-like hot water stopper. Something to screw in 7,
Any form such as a faucet may be used as long as the hot water poured into the space 10 does not come out. Further, it goes without saying that the positions of the hot water inlet 3 and the hot water removal hole 4 provided on the upper surface side and the lower surface side are not limited to the respective central portions but may be shifted to the left or right. Alternatively, the entire upper surface may be opened to form the hot water inlet 3.

Mounting pieces 8 are provided on both side surfaces of the box body 1 so as to project outward from the extension lines of the rear surface of the box body 1.
The bathroom mirror of the present invention is fixed to the wall surface of the bathroom with screws or the like through a suitable number of holes 9 provided in the bathroom.

In order to use the present invention, first, the hot water pipe 5 is covered with a hot water stopper 7 and tightened, and then hot water drawn from a hot water inlet 3 from a bathtub or a faucet by a washbasin or a shower or the like. Fill the space 10 of the box 1 with hot water. In this way, simply by pouring hot water into the space portion 10, the heat of the hot water is transferred from the back surface of the end plate 13 to the front surface, and the surface of the mirror surface 2 is warmed,
The cloudiness can be quickly removed and the hot water cools and the mirror surface 2
For a sufficient period of time while it becomes cold, it effectively exhibits the anti-fogging function. After use, the hot water stopper 7 is removed to open the hot water drainage hole 4 and the hot water in the space 10 is drained from the hot water conduit 5.

When the hot water in the space 10 cools and the mirror surface 2 becomes cloudy again, the hot water stopper 7 is removed to remove the cold hot water in the space 10 and the hot water stopper 7 is connected to the hot water conduit 5 It is recommended to add hot water from the hot water inlet 3 to the space portion 10 again after covering it with water and tightening it.

[0015]

According to the present invention, not only can the cloudiness of the mirror when bathing be removed by a simple operation of pouring hot water into the space of the box, but the cloudy state can continue for a long time.

Further, since the hot water to be put into the space is abundant in the bathroom at the time of bathing, the present invention can be easily used without any special trouble.

Since the present invention does not require a large-scale laying work to be attached to the bathroom, it can be easily attached to the wall of the bathroom and does not cost electricity.
