Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a wall mounting structure for a bracket with a mirror for attaching the bracket with a mirror to a wall surface.

A mirror bracket is a wall-mounted lighting fixture.
Moreover, it is also used as an interior decoration, and is supported by a hinge at the upper edge of the mirror support so that it can swing vertically, and also rotates around an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the hinge. It was equipped with a supporting shade. With conventional mirror brackets,
Since the mirror support is configured to be attached to the wall using at least two screws, such as screwing to the wall at symmetrical positions between the upper and lower edges, it is necessary to provide at least two screw holes in the mirror support. It was hot.

However, since the mirror is fixedly supported by the mirror support, if two or more holes for screwing are provided in the frame around the outer periphery of the mirror, the overall strength will be reduced. In order to provide this, it is necessary to increase the frame width of the mirror support to a certain extent.
It was not possible to downsize the mirror support.

The purpose of this invention was to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and by fixing the mirror support to the bracket mounting plate with a single screw, a bracket with a mirror can be mounted on a wall surface. It is only necessary to form one screw hole in the
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a wall mounting structure for a bracket with a mirror, which can realize downsizing of the mirror support.

In summary, this idea consists of fixing a bracket mounting plate, which has a screw hole in its upper end and an engaging piece protruding from its lower end, to a wall surface, and attaches a hooking piece to the lower edge of the back side of the mirror support. A hole is provided in the mirror support near the hinge that attaches the shade and swingably supports the shade in the vertical direction, and the hook piece is hooked to the engagement piece, and the mirror support is provided with a hole. The bracket with a mirror is attached to the wall by inserting screws into the holes and fixing them to the screw holes of the bracket attachment plate.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, a mirror support 1 is a frame that fixedly supports a circular mirror 2 on its outer periphery;
It is made of a circular resin frame. For example, the mirror support 1 is manufactured using a mold using a foamed urethane material. A hinge part 3 is formed integrally with the mirror support 1 at the upper edge of the mirror support 1, and the hinge part 3 projects forward from the mirror surface. A rotating shaft (not shown) is attached to the hinge portion 3 in parallel with the mirror surface, and supports a hemispherical shade 4 so as to be swingable in the vertical direction by the rotating shaft. Further, the shade 4 is rotatably supported around a shaft portion 5 perpendicular to the rotation axis. By tightening the nuts 6 and 7 attached to the rotating shaft and shaft portion 5 of the hinge portion 3, the hinge portion 3
Rotation of the shade 4 around the rotation axis or shaft portion 5 can be stopped. When using, shade 4
Lightly tighten the nuts 6 and 7 so that the shaft part 5 is firmly attached to the hinge part 3, and the shade 4 is tightly attached to the shaft part 5, so that it does not sag due to its own weight or rotate so that the opening does not face upward. let In this state of use, the shade 4 can be freely rotated or rocked by hand.

Moreover, even after the shade 4 is rotated or swung, the shade 4 and the shaft part 5, and the shaft part 5 and the hinge part 3 are in close contact with each other, so that due to the friction between them, the weight of the shade 4 is The shade 4 can be held in a desired direction by suppressing drooping and rotation.

A socket support plate 9 for supporting the socket of an incandescent light bulb 8 is fixed to a corner of the shade 4. A rotary switch (not shown) for a lighting switch is fixed inside the socket support plate 9, and a knob 10 of the switch projects outward from the socket support plate 9 toward the opening of the shade 4. The shade 4 and socket support plate 9 are formed by sheet metal processing. The electric cord 11 connected to the socket of the socket support plate 9 passes through the hollow part of the shaft part 5 and the hole part (not shown) of the hinge part 3 to the back surface of the mirror support body 1, and is further fixed to the lower end of the back surface. It is held down by the hook 12,
It extends outward from the lower end of the mirror support 1. mirror 2
is attached from the back side of the mirror support 1. That is,
The mirror 2 is brought into contact with the back side of the flange on the inner circumference of the mirror support 1,
Further, a round presser plate 13 is placed on the back surface of the mirror 2, and stopper pieces 14, 15 are provided at appropriate positions on the back surface of the mirror support 1.
It is fixedly held by the hook 12 and the hook 12. A screw hole 16 is provided in the frame near the hinge part 3 at the upper edge of the mirror support 1. A hooking fitting 12 is screwed to the lower edge opposite to the hole 16 on the back side of the mirror support 1. The hook 12 is
A recess 19 for guiding an electric cord is formed in the center, and hook-shaped hook pieces 17 and 18 with downward tips are formed on both sides of the recess 19 by sheet metal processing. The hook pieces 17 and 18 are formed symmetrically with respect to the groove direction of the recess 19 as an axis. In addition, the hook 12 is attached to the mirror support 1 so that the diameter direction connecting the center of the mirror support 1 and the center of the hole 16 matches the direction of the groove.
It is fixed to the lower edge of the.

FIG. 3 shows a bracket mounting plate 20 used for mounting the above-mentioned mirror bracket on a wall surface. The bracket mounting plate 20 is formed into a rectangular shape as a whole by sheet metal processing, and both long sides and one short side thereof are bent into an L shape.
On the short side to be bent into an L-shape, two holes are punched out in advance around the folding line, and two bent parts 21 and 22 are formed along the folding line, and the hole part 23, 24 is formed near each bend. The bent portions 21 and 22 are the bracket mounting plate 20.
The bent part 21 and the hole part 23, and the bent part 22 and the hole part 24 are provided so as to protrude from the flat part of the bracket, and the bent part 21 and the hole part 23, and the bent part 22 and the hole part 24 are respectively connected to the engaging pieces 17 and 18 when the bracket is attached to the bracket mounting plate 20. It forms an engaging piece that engages the. A hole 25 is provided approximately in the center of the flat surface of the bracket mounting plate 20 for inserting a wall fixing screw, and the bent portions 21 and 2 are inserted through the hole 25.
A hole 26, which is the same as the hole 25, is provided on the second side.
On the short side facing the bending parts 21 and 22, the bending part 2
The fixing tongue piece 27 is formed by bending it on the same side as 1 and 22, and then bending it outward and parallel to the plane part at a position slightly higher than the height of the bent part.
The fixing tongue piece 27 is provided with a screw hole 28 for screwing the mirror support 1 to the bracket mounting plate 20. The center of the screw hole 28 is located on the center line connecting the centers of the holes 25 and 26. Also screw hole 28
The distance between the center and the folding lines of the folding parts 21 and 22 is
The center of the hole 16 on the upper edge of the mirror support 1 and the hook piece 1
It is equal to the distance to the folding lines 7 and 18.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which the mirrored bracket having the above structure is attached to a wall using the bracket mounting plate 20. As shown in FIG.

Attach the bracket mounting plate 20 to the appropriate place on the flat part of the wall.
The screws 29 and 30 are inserted into the holes 25 and 26 and fixed to the wall surface so that the center line parallel to the long side coincides with the vertical direction. With the bracket mounting plate 20 fixed to the wall surface in advance in this manner, the mirror support 1 is slid vertically downward along the wall surface, and the hook pieces 17 and 18 of the hook fitting 12 are inserted into the holes 23 and 24.
hook it on. When the hook pieces 17 and 18 are hooked onto the holes 23 and 24 while sliding in this manner, the hole 16 near the hinge portion 3 finally faces the screw hole 28 of the fixing tongue piece 27. And hole 16
The mirror support 1 is fixed to the bracket mounting plate 20 by inserting the screw 13 into the screw hole 28 and fixing it in the screw hole 28.

In this way, the mirror bracket can be easily attached to a wall surface via the bracket attachment plate 20 by using only one screw 31. Therefore,
The mirror support 1 only needs to have one hole 16 for the screw 31 to pass through, so even if the area around the hinge 3 is slightly widened and the outer frame width of the mirror 2 is narrowed, the mirror support will still work. A sufficient strength of 1 can be obtained. In addition, in a bracket that is attached to a wall with multiple screws, the heads of many screws appear on the front side of the mirror support, but in this example, only the head of one screw 31 is exposed on the mirror side, which spoils the appearance. No need to worry. As described above, since there is no restriction such as increasing the frame width of the mirror support 1 for wall mounting, it is possible to downsize the mirror support and make it simple in design.

As described above, according to this invention, the hooking piece of the mirror support is hooked onto the engaging piece of the bracket mounting plate fixed to the wall surface, and the mirror support is screwed to the bracket mounting plate with one screw. This allows the mirror bracket to be mounted on a wall, so that only one screw hole needs to be provided in the mirror support near the hinge. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the size of the mirror outer peripheral portion of the mirror support, and the mirror support can be made smaller.

Moreover, only one screw head is visible on the mirror side, so the appearance is not impaired.
