Further, holes 15 are formed on both sides of the screw mounting recess 4 at positions facing the mounting holes 11 on both sides of the mirror mounting recess 2, respectively.

The cover unit 8 is made of an elastic material such as rubber,
It has a generally U-shaped horizontally elongated vertical section with an open back side, and locking protrusions 21 are formed at the tips of the upper and lower horizontal pieces 16 and 17 of the cover unit 8, which protrude in directions opposite to each other. be.

This cover unit 8 has a mirror-finish fixed piece 6 facing each locking protrusion 21.
The mirror fixture 3 can be removably engaged with the vertical piece 20 to cover the front surface of the mirror fixture 3 with a cover unit 8.

Therefore, when attaching the mirror surface γ to the wall panel 1 that forms the wall surface of a bathroom or washroom, etc., the back beams 18 made of synthetic resin or wood are placed at the top and bottom of the back surface of the mirror mounting recess 2, respectively.
approximately horizontally, and insert the screw 5 from the front side of the central mounting hole 11.
After screwing in the back crosspieces 18 to the upper and lower parts of the back surface of the mirror mounting recess 2, the mirror 1 is temporarily fixed in the mirror mounting recess 2 with double-sided adhesive tape 19.

Next, insert the lower mirror fixture 3 with the mirror-finishing piece 6 projecting upward from the upper horizontal piece 12 into the lower part of the mirror mounting recess 2 from the back side, and attach the lower end of the mirror γ to the upper horizontal piece 12. After placing the mirror γ and bringing the lower edge of the front surface into contact with the back surface of the blunt fixing piece 6, and bringing the back side end surfaces of the upper and lower horizontal pieces 12 and 13 into contact with the wall surface of the mirror mounting recess 2, , screw the screws 5 into the back crosspiece 18 from the front side of each hole 15 on both sides through the opposing mounting holes 11 to fix the lower mirror fixing tool 3 in the mirror mounting recess 2 - the mirror fixing piece 6 The lower edge of the mirror γ is locked to the mirror mounting recess 2 side on the back side of the mirror γ.

Similarly, a mirror fixture 3 with a mirror fixing piece 6 protruding downward from the lower horizontal piece 13 is fixed to the upper part of the mirror mounting recess 2, and the upper edge of the front surface of the mirror 1 is fixed to the mirror with the back of the mirror fixing piece 6. After locking to the mounting recess 2 side, the upper and lower locking protrusions 21 of the cover unit 8 are elastically locked to the rear side of the mirror fixed piece 6 and the vertical piece 20 of each mirror fixture 3, respectively, and the cover is closed. Fit the integral part 8 into each mirror fixture 3, and attach the cover integral part 8.
This covers the head of the screw 5 exposed from the hole 15.

On the other hand, when replacing the mirror 1, etc., first remove the cover unit 8 elastically from the mirror fixture 3, and then remove each hole from each hole.
After removing the screw 5 of No. 5 from the front side and removing the mirror fixture 3 from the mirror mounting recess 2, the mirror γ is removed from the mirror mounting recess 2.

6 to 7 show a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the mirror surface is determined from either the upper horizontal piece 12 or the lower horizontal piece 13 of an aluminum mirror fixture 3 having a substantially U-shaped cross section. In addition to protruding pieces 6, protrusions 2 are provided on the front side lines of the upper and lower horizontal pieces 12 and 13.
2 is provided protrudingly, and the upper and lower parts of an integrated cover 8 made of aluminum and having a substantially U-shaped cross section are removably locked by upper and lower protrusions 22, and the screw mounting recess 4 is covered with the integrated cover 8. It is.

8 to 9 show a third embodiment, in which a decorative sheet 8a having an adhesive layer (not shown) on the back surface is placed over almost the entire surface of the screw mounting recess 4 of the mirror fixture 3 made of synthetic resin. The head of the screw 5 is covered with a removable adhesive, and the fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. vertical piece 1
In the front side of 4, an independent screw mounting recess 4 having a substantially oval shape is provided around each hole 15, and a cap 8b of approximately the same shape is removably fitted into each screw mounting recess 4. It is.

As described above, the present invention provides a mirror mounting recess in the front surface of a wall panel. Mirror fixing tools were screwed onto the upper and lower parts of each mirror, and the front side lines of the upper and lower parts of the mirror were locked into the mirror mounting recesses using mirror fixed pieces that protruded toward the center from each mirror fixing tool. The mirror fixture that is screwed into place will not move or come off accidentally, and the mirror fixture can securely support the mirror in the mirror mounting recess, improving safety. The screw is inserted into the mirror mounting recess with the screw inserted through the screw mounting recess in the front opening, so the mirror can be easily installed and removed by installing and removing the screw from the front side. Since the cover is removably fitted to the four mounting parts, the head of the screw that is exposed in the screw mounting recess in the front opening is covered by the cover and is not exposed to the outside. By eliminating the need for vertical movement width, the width of the groove between the mirror and the peripheral edge of the mirror mounting recess can be made constant, and the appearance can be further improved.

In addition, since the mirror fixture is formed with an engineered cross-section, the engineered vertical piece can have a springback ability and can perform a loosening function for the screw, preventing the screw from loosening unexpectedly due to vibration etc. Moreover, because of the shape of the construction, a recess for screw installation can be formed, and by sinking the screw head into this recess, a counterbore for sinking the screw head into the vertical piece can be created. No machining is required, and by sinking the head of the screw into the screw mounting recess,
There is an advantage that the head of the screw does not come into contact with the cover, the screw does not interfere with the attachment of the cover, and construction can be performed simply and easily.

Furthermore, because of its square shape, it can be lighter in weight compared to solid shapes.
