[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable illuminated mirror which incorporates a light source in a portable mirror and can perform shaving and makeup even in darkness.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, since the face of a person using a mirror cannot be clearly seen in darkness such as at night, a light source such as a fluorescent lamp has been arranged around a mirror installed indoors. . For example, in the case of a square mirror, a fluorescent lamp is arranged above or on the side, and in the case of a circular mirror, an annular fluorescent lamp is arranged so as to surround the circumference. There is.

[0003]

In the case of such a mirror for indoor use, it is not inconvenient to arrange a light source around the mirror. When a light source is placed around the camera, the light source is not placed in a compact shape so that it is easy to carry around.Therefore, there is no portable mirror with a light source. Could not be used.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and an object of the present invention is to irradiate light from the back side of a mirror through a transparent or translucent portion formed on the mirror, so that it can be used at night. And a portable illuminated mirror that can be used even in darkness.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A portable illuminated mirror according to the present invention achieves the above-mentioned object. The means comprises a box provided with a lid which can be opened and closed via a hinge. A case, a light source that is arranged inside the case and is turned on by a battery via a switch provided on a side of the case, and a light from the light source attached to an opening covered by the lid of the case. And a mirror partially transparent or translucent so as to allow transmission.

It is preferable that the light source is provided with a reflector for concentrating light on the transparent or translucent portion, and the mirror is detachably mounted on the case by a frame. It is desirable to form a space in the case for storing small items other than the light source and the battery.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a portable illuminated mirror according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 is a case, the case 1 is composed of a box 11 and a lid 12 covering an opening of the box 11, and the box 11 and the lid 1
2 is connected to a hinge 13 having a reduced thickness.

A battery accommodating portion 14 is integrally formed in the box 11, and a lead wire (not shown) from the battery accommodating portion 14 is connected to a switch 2 attached to a side surface of the box 11. Through the lamp holder 3.
A light source 4 which is a pea ball is mounted on the lamp holder 3, and when the switch 2 is turned on, the light source 4 is turned on.
Lights up. The lamp holder 3 has a reflecting plate 5.
Is attached, and condenses and reflects the light from the light source 4 toward a transparent or translucent portion 61 of a mirror 6 described later.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a mirror, which is detachably attached to the opening of the box 11 by a frame 7. The mirror 6 has a transparent or translucent portion 61 formed at a part thereof so as to transmit the light from the light source 4, and can transmit the light from the light source 5 therethrough. Reference numeral 8 denotes a battery cover for closing the opening of the battery housing portion 14, and reference numeral 9 denotes a battery.

When the portable illuminated mirror according to the present invention having such a configuration is used, first, after opening the lid 12 of the case 1, the switch 2 provided on the side of the case 1 is turned on. I do. As a result, the light source 4 is turned on, and the light from the light source 4 is condensed by the reflecting plate 5 and passes through the transparent or semi-transparent portion 61 of the mirror 6 to illuminate the face of the user, such as at night. The user can visually recognize the face and the like even in the dark.

Since the light from the light source 4 can be illuminated farther by the reflector 5, it can be used as a flashlight. Further, by making the portion of the mirror 6 through which the light is transmitted translucent, the transmittance of the light from the light source 4 is reduced, so that the entire face is illuminated when making makeup or the like. It is easier to shave and make up than to illuminate a part.

Further, by removing the frame 7 for fixing the mirror 6 to the box 11 from the box 11, the box 11 can be provided with lipstick, lip balm, piercing, toothpick or the like according to the needs of the user. Various small items can be stored in the small item storage space S.

As shown in FIG. 4, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the small article storage space S is a small article storage space S in which a part of the box 11 is partitioned by a partition wall. The opening of the space S can be made closable by the sliding lid 111. In addition, in consideration of convenience when used as a flashlight, for example, as shown in FIG.
If this hole 121 is made openable and closable by a sliding lid 122, it becomes possible to use it as a flashlight without opening the lid 12 one by one. Further, the mirror 6 may be a plane mirror or a concave mirror.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, by disposing the light source on the back side of the mirror, it is possible to make the whole shape compact, and it is difficult for the portable mirror to be carried around as a portable mirror. Therefore, a portable mirror can be used even in darkness such as at night, which is convenient.

Further, since the light from the light source is condensed by providing the reflecting plate, it is possible to illuminate only a part of the user's face and the like, and it can be used as a flashlight. Since it is detachably attached to the case via a frame, by providing a space for accommodating small items in the case, it is possible to store small items in the case.
