Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to mirrors, and the surface of the mirror does not fog even when there is a sudden change in room temperature, the projection is extremely good, and the peripheral edge of the mirror plate is protected from external impact. The present invention relates to a mirror that is lightweight, highly robust, has a simple structure, and is easy to manufacture.

Conventionally, mirrors that prevent fogging that occurs on the mirror surface due to a sudden rise in room temperature in bathrooms, washrooms, etc., have been made to have thin walls, for example, to quickly reduce the temperature of the entire mirror. There was something that brought the temperature to the same temperature as room temperature. However, because such mirrors are thin and thick, they are prone to edge bending and breakage.
Another drawback was that the entire structure was distorted due to changes in room temperature.

In addition, regarding the mounting structure of the head plate to the base plate or the protection structure of the peripheral edge of the head plate,
This method is known from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 78197 and Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-61497.

That is, according to Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 49-78197, a required number of elastic pieces coated with adhesive on both sides or one side are inserted between a head plate and a base plate to which the head plate is attached, and then the head plate is attached. The peripheral edge portion is appropriately latched to the base plate using a latching fitting fixed to the base plate using wooden screws or the like. According to Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-61497, the peripheral edge of the mirror plate is protected by a mirror edge prevention tape having an adhesive layer mixed with anti-oxidation metal powder.

However, in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 49-78197, although the elastic piece is inserted between the end plate and the base plate, the latching fittings are closely attached and screwed, so especially at the peripheral end of the end plate. The corners are not sufficiently protected, and in the case of Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-61497, the circumferential edge of the end plate is not protected at all. However, if the mirror body was accidentally dropped, the impact would damage the corners of the mirror plate.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to reduce the overall weight and simplify manufacturing, particularly by selecting the constituent members.

Therefore, the gist of the present invention is to adhere an extremely thin mirror plate that is slightly narrower than the foam resin plate on one plane of a foam resin plate having an appropriate wall thickness, and to A mirror body is formed by adhering an elastic protective member for protecting the peripheral edge of the mirror plate onto the periphery of a foamed resin plate, and a plurality of cross-sections are fitted around the mirror body. The frame, which has a substantially groove-shaped cross section, is made of stainless steel, and the groove width of the frame is wider than the wall thickness of the mirror body, and the side to which the mirror plate is bonded has a groove width. While bending the end of one side of the frame inward, a part of the deep bottom plate at the joint end of each frame is depressed from the outside to form a connecting part, and a connecting metal fitting is attached to this connecting part. This consists in connecting the frames by inserting them through the frame.

An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a mirror body, and this mirror body 1
is formed of a foamable resin plate 2, a mirror plate 3, a protection member 4, and a back plate 5.

The foamable resin board 2 is approximately rectangular in plan, and
It has an appropriate wall thickness so as to be able to withstand shocks caused by drops, etc., and also has some elasticity.
This foamable resin board 2 can be formed by simply cutting a foamed polystyrene board or the like as appropriate. and,
On one plane of the foamable resin board 2, an extremely thin mirror plate 3 (conventional ones are usually 5 mm to 15 mm) and whose overall width is slightly narrower than the foamable resin board 2 is bonded. be done. At this time, the end plate 3 is replaced with the foamed resin plate 2.
If a normal adhesive 6 is used for adhering to the mirror plate 3, the entire mirror plate 3 may be distorted due to shrinkage and hardening of the adhesive itself. Therefore, in the illustrated example, such disadvantages are prevented by using an adhesive 6 with extremely low shrinkage hardening properties.

As mentioned above, by forming the mirror plate 3 extremely thin, the reflection on the surface of the mirror plate 3 (surface reflection) and the reflection on the surface of the mirror plate 3 can be reduced.
Reflection on the reflective material formed on the back side (specular reflection)
You can expect clear projection without any reflection blurring between the two. On the other hand, since the foamable resin plate 2 has excellent safety against changes in room temperature, the mirror plate 3 bonded thereto will not be distorted.

The protective member 4 is made of an elastic band-shaped material, and after the end plate 3 is adhered to the foamed resin plate 2, it is adhered onto the periphery of the foamed resin plate 2, and the peripheral end 7 of the end plate 3 is bonded to the end plate 3. It is something to protect. The protective member 4 only needs to have some elasticity, and any material such as a thin foam material, rubber material, or nylon material may be selected and used.

As shown in FIG. 3, by adhering a part of the protective member 4 so as to slightly cover the circumferential edge 7, the protection of the circumferential edge 7 itself is strengthened, and damage caused by the mirror plate 3 being hung on the edge can be prevented. can be prevented.

The back plate 5 is optionally adhesively formed on the back surface of the foam resin board 2, and makes the back surface of the foam resin board 2 and the entire mirror more robust, and can also be provided with patterns, colors, etc. By doing so, you can also improve your appearance. Of course, there is no limit to the material, and wooden boards, plastic boards, thick decorative boards, etc. may also be used.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a frame that is fitted around the mirror body 1. This frame 8 is made of a stainless steel material and has a substantially groove-shaped cross section.
It is formed by making the width wider than the wall thickness, and by bending the end portion of one side piece 9 slightly inward. Since the frame 8 formed in this manner is fitted around the mirror body 1, the peripheral end 7 and the protective member 4 are positioned within the frame 8, and the peripheral end 7 is fitted around the one side piece 9 and the protective member 4. Since it is fixed to the inner bottom plate 10 at a constant distance, even if an external impact occurs, the impact force does not directly reach the peripheral end 7. Furthermore, since the frame 8 is made of stainless steel, it can be easily formed by simply cutting a belt-shaped stainless steel plate to an appropriate length and then bending it into a predetermined shape.

The frame 8 may be attached by bonding the inside of the other side piece 11 to the back plate 5, or by attaching the frame 8 to one side so that the opening width of the frame 8 itself is slightly narrower than the wall thickness of the mirror body 1. By bending the end of the piece 9, it may be forcibly fitted around the mirror body 1 and attached.

On the other hand, each frame 8 has inner bottom plates 1 at both ends.
A connecting part 12 is formed by recessing a part of 0 from the outside, and a substantially L-shaped connecting fitting 1 is attached to this connecting part 12.
3, the frames 8 are firmly connected to each other. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, a required reinforcing material 14 is fitted over the connecting portion of each frame 8 to strengthen the connected state of each frame, and the joints between each frame 8 are closed to improve the overall structure. It is also possible to improve the appearance.

According to the present invention constructed in this manner, the ultra-thin mirror plate 3 is adhesively formed on one plane of the foamed resin plate 2 having an appropriate wall thickness, so that even if the room temperature suddenly rises, Since the end plate 3 itself is extremely thin, the entire end plate 3 is immediately brought to the same temperature as the room temperature, and therefore no clouding occurs on the surface of the end plate 3.
It has the advantage of being able to be used at all times regardless of location, and because the mirror plate 3 is extremely thin, there is no blurring in the reflection between so-called surface reflection and specular reflection, so it is clearer than conventional mirrors. You can expect projection.

In addition, in the present invention, the mirror body 1 is made of lightweight materials such as the ultra-thin mirror plate 3 and the foamed resin plate 2.
Not only is it convenient to carry, it can be easily attached to walls, ceilings, etc. with adhesive without the need for nails or other fasteners, and because it is lightweight, the adhesive part does not peel off. There is also less risk of falling.

Furthermore, in the unlikely event that the mirror according to the present invention is
Even if the object is dropped face down, the foamed resin plate 2 will reduce the impact force, or the ultra-thin mirror plate 3 will also be distorted in response to the instantaneous distortion of the foamed resin plate 2 due to the impact. Therefore, damage to the end plate 3 can be prevented, and since the end plate 3 is made slightly narrower than the foam resin plate 2, even if an impact is applied to the peripheral end of the foam resin board 2, the impact will be prevented. The force is applied to the peripheral end 7 of the end plate 3
Therefore, the peripheral end portion 7, which is the most fragile portion of the mirror, can be protected from damage such as edge hanging.

Moreover, since the elastic protective member 4 is adhesively formed on the peripheral edge of the foamed resin plate 2, the peripheral edge 7
can be more strongly protected. That is,
In the present invention, after simply cutting a Styrofoam board or the like into a predetermined shape and pasting a mirror plate 3 on one side of the cut,
It has the advantage that the mirror body 1 with excellent robustness can be formed simply by bonding the required protection members 4.

On the other hand, a frame 8 having a substantially groove-shaped cross section is fitted around the mirror body 1, and the peripheral end 7 and the protective member 4 are positioned within the frame 8 to improve the overall appearance of the mirror. At the same time, the peripheral end portion 7 can be completely protected from external impacts.
Since this frame 8 is made of stainless steel, it can be easily manufactured by simply cutting a belt-shaped stainless steel plate to an appropriate length and bending it so that it has a substantially groove-shaped cross section. The groove width is made wider than the wall thickness of the mirror body 1, and the end of the one side piece 9 is bent inward, so that the peripheral end 7 is positioned at a constant distance from the one side piece 9 and the inner bottom plate 10. Therefore, even if one side piece 9 is dented by an external impact, damage to the end plate 3 will not occur.

Furthermore, a part of the deep bottom plate 10 at both ends, which is the joint of each frame 8, is depressed from the outside to form a connecting part 12, and a connecting fitting 13 is inserted through this connecting part 12, so that each The frame 8 does not fall off even when subjected to large external shocks such as being dropped.
Strongly connected.

As explained above, according to the present invention, even if there is a sudden change in room temperature, the surface of the mirror does not fog, the projection is extremely good, and it is lightweight, and the peripheral edge of the mirror plate can be protected from external shocks. It has excellent robustness, such as being able to completely protect against water damage, and has a simple structure, making it suitable for mass production.
