[0001] SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE Aspects of the present invention generally relate to mirror cabinets. [Background technology]

[0002] A mirror cabinet is known that includes a cabinet body having a storage space and a mirror door provided on the front surface of the cabinet body. The mirror door has an openable / closable plate and a mirror provided on the front surface of the plate. The mirror door can be opened and closed relative to the cabinet body by attaching a hinge between the cabinet body and the plate (Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2009-131433 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The hinges are fixed to the opening and closing plate by fixing members such as screws. Therefore, the opening and closing plate must have a sufficient thickness to screw the hinges. If the opening and closing plate becomes thicker and the weight of the opening and closing plate increases, the workability of installing the mirror door may decrease, and the mirror door may become difficult to open and close. Furthermore, if the weight of the mirror door increases, the number of hinges must be increased. Therefore, the design of the mirror cabinet may decrease, and the cost may increase.

[0005] The present invention has been made based on the recognition of such problems, and has an object to provide a mirror cabinet with a lightweight mirror door and improved design. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The first invention is a mirror cabinet comprising a cabinet body having a storage space, a mirror door provided on the front of the cabinet body, and a hinge having one side fixed to the cabinet body and the other side fixed to the mirror door, thereby opening and closing the mirror door relative to the cabinet body, wherein the mirror door has an opening and closing plate located in front of the storage space and capable of being opened and closed, and a mirror provided on the front side of the opening and closing plate, the opening and closing plate has a mirror pressing plate portion for holding the mirror on the front side, and a convex portion provided on a part of the mirror pressing plate portion and protruding from the back side of the mirror pressing plate portion, and the other side of the hinge is screwed to the convex portion.

[0007] According to this mirror cabinet, the hinge is fixed to the protruding portion where the opening and closing plate is partially thickened. This allows the mirror door to have a thin opening and closing plate as a whole and a light weight. Therefore, the mirror door can be made lighter and the design of the mirror cabinet can be improved. Also, the mirror cabinet using the mirror door can be made less expensive than a mirror cabinet with a thick opening and closing plate as a whole.

[0008] A second invention is a mirror cabinet according to the first invention, characterized in that the vertical length dimension of the convex portion is greater than the vertical length dimension of the hinge.

[0009] According to this mirror cabinet, the height position of the hinge can be designed as desired, so that the mirror door can be attached to a variety of cabinet bodies, increasing the degree of freedom in design.

[0010] A third invention is a mirror cabinet according to the second invention, characterized in that the cabinet body has a vertical wall portion to which the one side of the hinge is fixed, and the convex portion extends along a front end of the vertical wall portion.

[0011] According to this mirror cabinet, since one side of the hinge is fixed to the vertical wall of the mirror cabinet body, the vertical length of the mirror door can be set as desired. As a result, the degree of freedom in designing the mirror cabinet can be increased. For example, the mirror door can be made longer than the vertical length of the cabinet body to cover the upper and lower ends of the cabinet body. In addition, since the convex portion extends along the front end of the vertical wall, the hinge can be easily aligned even if the mounting position of the hinge is shifted up or down.

[0012] A fourth invention is a mirror cabinet according to the first invention, characterized in that the opening and closing plate is formed as a separate body with the mirror pressing plate portion and the convex portion, the convex portion has a fixed surface portion to which the hinge is fixed and an insertion hole recessed from the fixed surface portion toward the mirror pressing plate portion, and the other side of the hinge has an insertion portion to be inserted into the insertion hole.

[0013] According to this mirror cabinet, the hinge can be attached to the mirror pressing plate portion via a separately formed convex portion without complex processing for fixing the hinge to the mirror pressing plate portion. Also, by providing convex portions corresponding to a plurality of types of hinges, it is possible to accommodate various types of mirror cabinets. Furthermore, since the convex portion is formed separately from the mirror pressing plate portion, the hinge can be easily fixed at any position. Therefore, it is possible to easily accommodate cases where the desired height at which the hinge is to be attached differs depending on the shape of the cabinet body.

[0014] A fifth invention is a mirror cabinet according to the first or fourth invention, characterized in that the convex portion has a first convex portion provided on the mirror pressing plate portion and a second convex portion screwed to a side portion of the first convex portion, and the hinge is fixed to the second convex portion.

[0015] According to this mirror cabinet, the overall thickness of the mirror door can be made as small as possible by screwing the second protrusion to the side surface of the first protrusion. Also, screwing the second protrusion to the first protrusion makes it easier to remove or change the position than screwing the second protrusion to the mirror pressing plate.

[0016] A sixth invention is a mirror cabinet according to the fifth invention, characterized in that the side portion of the first convex portion has a rear portion that is positioned on the cabinet body side when the mirror door is open, and the second convex portion is screwed to the rear portion.

[0017] According to this mirror cabinet, when the mirror door is opened, the screw that fixes the second convex part to the first convex part is hidden by the first convex part, making it difficult for the user to see the screw. As a result, the design of the mirror cabinet is prevented from being deteriorated.

[0018] A seventh invention is a mirror cabinet according to the fifth or sixth invention, characterized in that the vertical length dimension of the first convex portion is greater than the vertical length dimension of the second convex portion.

[0019] According to this mirror cabinet, the second protrusion can be attached to any position on the first protrusion, so the height position of the hinge can be designed as desired. Therefore, the mirror door can be attached to multiple types of cabinet bodies, increasing the degree of freedom in design.

[0020] An eighth invention is a mirror cabinet according to the seventh invention, characterized in that the cabinet body has a vertical wall portion to which the one side of the hinge is fixed, and the first convex portion extends along a front end of the vertical wall portion.

[0021] According to this mirror cabinet, one side of the hinge is fixed to the vertical wall of the mirror cabinet body, so that the vertical length dimension of the mirror door can be set as desired. As a result, the degree of freedom in designing the mirror cabinet can be increased. For example, the mirror door can be made longer than the vertical length of the cabinet body to cover the upper and lower ends of the cabinet body. In addition, since the first protrusion extends along the front end of the vertical wall, the second protrusion can be easily aligned even if the mounting position of the second protrusion is shifted vertically. Effect of the Invention

[0022] According to an aspect of the present invention, a mirror cabinet is provided that has a lightweight mirror door and an improved design. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0030] Next, the mirror cabinet 50 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the mirror cabinet with the mirror door open. FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the hinge and the protrusion located on the upper side in FIG. FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which the hinge is removed from the protrusion. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the mirror pressing plate portion from which the mirror has been removed, as viewed from the front side. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the mirror, the mirror pressing plate, the protrusion, and the hinge as viewed from the direction indicated by the arrow AA in FIG.

[0031] The mirror cabinet 50 is installed above the bowl 30. The mirror cabinet 50 is not limited to being used in the bathroom vanity 10, but may be used alone. The mirror cabinet 50 may be attached alone to, for example, a wall surface of a building structure. The mirror cabinet 50 may be, for example, a shoe cabinet installed in an entranceway. The mirror cabinet 50 includes a cabinet body 51, a mirror door 60 that covers the front of the cabinet body 51, and a hinge 70 that opens and closes the mirror door 60 relative to the cabinet body 51.

[0032] The cabinet body 51 is formed in a box shape with an opening at the front. The cabinet body 51 has a storage space S therein capable of storing items such as toiletries and a hair dryer. The storage space S is partitioned into a plurality of regions by vertical wall portions 53 extending in the up-down direction, for example. A hinge 70, which will be described later, is fixed to the vertical wall portions 53. The storage space S is provided with a shelf portion 55 capable of storing items, for example.

[0033] The mirror door 60 is provided on the front surface of the cabinet body 51. In this example, the mirror cabinet 50 has three mirror doors 60. The number of mirror doors 60 provided on the mirror cabinet 50 is not limited to three, and may be one or two, or four or more. The mirror door 60 is a hinged door that can be opened and closed relative to the cabinet body 51. When closed, the mirror door 60 covers the front of the storage space S of the cabinet body 51, and when open, it opens up the storage space S. The mirror door 60 has an opening / closing plate 61 and a mirror 69 provided on the front surface side of the opening / closing plate 61.

[0034] The opening / closing plate 61 is a plate-like body that is located in front of the storage space S and can be opened and closed. In the closed state, the opening / closing plate 61 covers the front of the storage space S. The opening / closing plate 61 has a mirror pressing plate portion 63 that presses a mirror 69 on the front surface 63a side, and a protrusion 65 that protrudes from a back surface 63b of the mirror pressing plate portion 63.

[0035] The mirror holding plate portion 63 is formed of a thin plate material made of, for example, resin or wood. The front surface 63a and the back surface 63b of the mirror holding plate portion 63 are flat surfaces, for example. A mirror clamping portion 64 is provided at each of the upper and lower ends of the mirror holding plate portion 63. The mirror clamping portion 64 clamps a mirror 69 between itself and the mirror holding plate portion 63.

[0036] The convex portion 65 is provided on the cabinet main body 51 side of the mirror pressing plate portion 63. In other words, the convex portion 65 is provided on the opening / closing axis side 63c of the mirror pressing plate portion 63. As shown in FIG. 2, for example, two convex portions 65 are provided spaced apart in the vertical direction. It is to be noted that two or more convex portions 65 may be provided. The convex portions 65 are provided in a number corresponding to the number of hinges 70. The hinges 70 described below are fixed to the convex portions 65.

[0037] The convex portion 65 is formed integrally with the mirror pressing plate portion 63. That is, the back surface of the opening / closing plate 61 is formed in a stepped shape by the mirror pressing plate portion 63 and the convex portion 65. The convex portion 65 has a side portion 66 that protrudes from the back surface 63b of the mirror pressing plate portion 63, and a fixing surface portion 67 that is located on the tip side (protruding end side) of the side portion 66 and to which the hinge 70 is fixed.

[0038] The side surface portion 66 has, for example, a front surface portion 66a located in front when the mirror door 60 is opened, a rear surface portion 66b located in the rear (toward the cabinet body 51) when the mirror door 60 is opened, an upper surface portion 66c located at the top, and a lower surface portion 66d facing the upper surface portion 66c in the up-down direction. The rear surface portion 66b protrudes from an end portion 63c1 of the opening / closing shaft side 63c in the opposite direction to the surface 63a of the mirror pressing plate portion 63. The front surface portion 66a and the rear surface portion 66b face each other in the horizontal direction.

[0039] The fixed surface portion 67 covers the tip sides of the front surface portion 66a, the rear surface portion 66b, the upper surface portion 66c, and the lower surface portion 66d. The fixed surface portion 67 has, for example, a flat surface. The fixed surface portion 67 is provided at a position one step higher than the rear surface 63b of the mirror pressing plate portion 63 in the thickness direction of the opening and closing plate 61. The fixed surface portion 67 has an insertion hole 67a in the center, which is recessed in the thickness direction (projecting direction) of the protrusion 65. An insertion portion 74 of the hinge 70, which will be described later, is inserted into this insertion hole 67a.

[0040] The fixing surface portion 67 has female thread portions 68 at upper and lower positions sandwiching the fitting hole 67a. A screw 76 for fixing the hinge 70 to the protrusion 65 is screwed into the female thread portion 68. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the female thread portion 68 extends from the fixing surface portion 67 toward the mirror 69. That is, the female thread portion 68 extends in the thickness direction of the protrusion 65. This allows the female thread portion 68 to lengthen the portion screwed into the screw 76 by the thickness of the protrusion 65. Therefore, the thickness dimension T1 of the protrusion 65 is set based on the weight of the mirror door 60 and the strength of the hinge 70, etc.

[0041] One side 71 of the hinge 70 is fixed to the cabinet body 51, and the other side 72 is fixed to the mirror door 60, thereby opening and closing the mirror door 60 with respect to the cabinet body 51. The hinge 70 is, for example, a slide hinge. As shown in Fig. 3, one side 71 of the hinge 70 is screwed to the vertical wall portion 53 of the cabinet body 51 via a washer 70a.

[0042] The other side 72 of the hinge 70 is fixed to the protrusion 65 with a screw. The other side 72 of the hinge 70 has a mounting surface portion 73 that is attached to the fixing surface portion 67 of the protrusion 65, and an insertion portion 74 that protrudes from the mounting surface portion 73 and is inserted into the fitting hole 67a. The hinge 70 has a movable portion 75 between the insertion portion 74 and the one side 71. The insertion portion 74 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and when the mirror door 60 is in a closed state, the movable portion 75 is located inside the insertion portion 74.

[0043] The mounting surface portion 73 has through holes 73a at positions corresponding to the female thread portions 68 of the fixing surface portion 67. A screw 76 for fixing the hinge 70 to the protrusion 65 is inserted into each through hole 73a. The other side 72 of the hinge 70 is fixed to the protrusion 65 by screwing the screw 76 into the female thread portion 68 via the through hole 73a.

[0044] Thus, the mirror door 60 of the mirror cabinet 50 according to the first embodiment has a mirror pressing plate portion 63 and a protruding portion 65 protruding from the back surface 63b of the mirror pressing plate portion 63. The hinge 70 is fixed to the protruding portion 65 by screwing. The protruding portion 65 has an internal thread portion 68 for fixing the hinge 70 extending in the thickness direction of the protruding portion 65. As shown in FIG. 6, the mirror door 60 has the protruding portion 65 on a part of the opening / closing plate 61, so that the thickness dimension T2 of the mirror pressing plate portion 63 can be made as small as possible. Furthermore, by reducing the thickness dimension T2 of the mirror pressing plate portion 63, the thickness of the mirror clamping portion 64 can also be made small.

[0045] As a result, the overall thickness and weight of the mirror door 60 are reduced, improving the workability of assembling the mirror door 60 to the cabinet body 51. Also, for example, if a pivot hinge is fixed to the mirror clamping portion, the size and shape of the mirror clamping portion must be adjusted to match the pivot hinge. In such a case, the height of the mirror clamping portion must be increased to hide the pivot hinge when the mirror door is viewed from the front. However, in this embodiment, the hinge 70 is fixed to the protrusion 65 of the opening and closing plate 61. As a result, the height of the mirror clamping portion 64 can be reduced, improving the design of the mirror door 60.

[0046] Furthermore, by using a sliding hinge for the hinge 70, the protrusion 65 can be provided at any position in the vertical direction of the mirror retaining plate portion 63, and one side 71 of the hinge 70 can be fixed to the vertical wall portion 53 of the cabinet main body 51. This allows the hinge 70 to be provided at any position between the upper and lower ends of the mirror retaining plate portion 63, thereby increasing the degree of freedom in the vertical dimension of the mirror door 60.

[0047] 6, the vertical length dimension L1 of the protrusion 65 is greater than the vertical length dimension L2 of the hinge 70. This allows the hinge 70 to be stably fixed to the protrusion 65. Furthermore, by providing the female thread portion 68 at any position on the protrusion 65, the height position of the hinge 70 can be varied. This allows the mirror door 60 to be attached to a variety of types of cabinet bodies 51.

[0048] 3, the protrusion 65 extends in the up-down direction along the front end 53a of the vertical wall portion 53 of the cabinet main body 51. That is, the fixing surface portion 67 of the protrusion 65 extends parallel to the front end 53a of the vertical wall portion 53. This makes it possible to easily align the hinge 70 by fixing the hinge 70 to the fixing surface portion 67, for example.

[0049] Next, FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a mirror door used in a mirror cabinet according to a second embodiment. The mirror door 80 of the mirror cabinet 50 according to the second embodiment has one protrusion 82 extending in the vertical direction. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0050] The protrusion 82 extends from the upper end to the lower end of the opening / closing plate 61. The protrusion 82 is formed integrally with the mirror pressing plate portion 63. The hinge 70 located on the upper side and the hinge 70 located on the lower side are screwed to the same protrusion 82. In this way, by providing the mirror door 80 with one protrusion 82 extending in the vertical direction, the hinge 70 can be attached at any position in the vertical direction.

[0051] The protrusion 82 extends in the vertical direction along the front end 53a of the vertical wall portion 53. Therefore, the mirror door 80 can be attached to a plurality of types of cabinet bodies 51 by attaching the hinge 70 to any position in the vertical direction.

[0052] Thus, the mirror door 80 of the mirror cabinet 50 according to the second embodiment can have the same action and effect as the mirror door 60 of the first embodiment. The protrusion 82 makes the mirror door 80 more versatile for use with a plurality of types of cabinet bodies 51.

[0053] Next, Figs. 8 to 11 show a mirror door used in a mirror cabinet according to a third embodiment. FIG. 8 is an enlarged perspective view showing a hinge and a protrusion located on the upper side of a mirror door used in a mirror cabinet according to a third embodiment. FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view showing the mirror, the protrusion, and the hinge removed from the mirror pressing plate portion. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the mirror, the mirror pressing plate, the protrusion, and the hinge as viewed from the direction of the arrow BB in FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the mirror, the mirror pressing plate, the protrusion, and the hinge as viewed from the direction of the arrow CC in FIG. The mirror door 90 of the mirror cabinet 50 according to the third embodiment is formed with a mirror pressing plate portion 92 and a protrusion portion 94, which are separate bodies. In the third embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0054] The opening / closing plate 91 has a mirror pressing plate portion 92 and a protruding portion 94 formed separately from the mirror pressing plate portion 92. The mirror pressing plate portion 92 is a flat thin plate material made of, for example, resin or wood. The mirror pressing plate portion 92 has a through hole 92d that penetrates in the thickness direction on the opening / closing shaft side 92c. A screw 98 for fixing the protruding portion 94 to the mirror pressing plate portion 92 is inserted into this through hole 92d.

[0055] The protrusion 94 is, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped block made of resin. The protrusion 94 has an abutment surface 94a that abuts against the mirror pressing plate 92, and a fixed surface 94b that faces the abutment surface 94a and to which the hinge 70 is fixed. The protrusion 94 has an insertion hole 95 that is recessed from the fixed surface 94b toward the abutment surface 94a, an internal thread 96 that extends from the abutment surface 94a toward the fixed surface 94b, and an internal thread 97 that extends from the fixed surface 94b toward the abutment surface 94a. The internal thread 96 and the internal thread 97 are provided in parallel.

[0056] The fitting hole 95 is recessed from the fixed surface portion 94b towards the mirror pressing plate portion 92. The insertion portion 74 of the hinge 70 is inserted into the fitting hole 95. Two female thread portions 96 are provided on either side of the fitting hole 95. The female thread portions 96 have an opening formed on the abutment surface portion 94a side, and a screw 98 for fixing the convex portion 94 to the mirror pressing plate portion 92 is screwed into them. Two female thread portions 97 are provided on either side of the fitting hole 95. The female thread portions 97 have an opening formed on the fixed surface portion 94b side, and a screw 99 for fixing the hinge 70 to the convex portion 94 is screwed into them.

[0057] The protrusion 94 is fixed to the back surface 92b of the mirror pressing plate portion 92 by screwing a screw 98 from the front surface 92a of the mirror pressing plate portion 92 through the through hole 92d and into the female thread portion 96. Thereafter, the mirror 69 is disposed on the front surface 92a side of the mirror pressing plate portion 92, so that the screw 98 is shielded by the mirror 69. The hinge 70 is then fixed to the protrusion 94 by screwing a screw 99 into the female thread portion 97 through the through hole 73a.

[0058] 10, convex portion 94 has a thickness dimension T3, thereby ensuring the length of female thread portion 96 and female thread portion 97. This allows convex portion 94 to be stably attached to mirror retaining plate portion 92 by screw 98. Furthermore, hinge 70 is stably attached to convex portion 94 by screw 99. Furthermore, convex portion 94, which fixes hinge 70, allows thickness dimension T4 of mirror retaining plate portion 92 to be made as small as possible.

[0059] Thus, the mirror door 90 of the mirror cabinet 50 according to the third embodiment can have the same action and effect as the mirror door 60 of the first embodiment. In the third embodiment, the mirror pressing plate portion 92 and the protruding portion 94 are separate, so that the entire mirror pressing plate portion 92 can be made of a flat thin plate material. Therefore, the opening and closing plate 91 can attach the hinge 70 by the separate protruding portion 94 without performing special processing for attaching the hinge 70 to the mirror pressing plate portion 92.

[0060] Furthermore, by providing a convex portion that matches hinges of different sizes and models, multiple types of hinges can be attached to the mirror pressing plate portion 92 without changing the mirror pressing plate portion 92. Furthermore, since the mirror pressing plate portion 92 and the convex portion 94 are separate bodies, the hinge 70 can be attached to any position of the mirror pressing plate portion 92. Therefore, the mirror door 90 can be attached to multiple types of cabinet bodies 51.

[0061] Next, Figs. 12 to 15 show a mirror door used in a mirror cabinet according to a fourth embodiment. FIG. 12 is an enlarged perspective view showing a hinge and a protrusion located on the upper side of a mirror door used in a mirror cabinet according to a fourth embodiment. FIG. 13 is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which the second protrusion has been detached from the first protrusion and the hinge has been detached from the second protrusion. FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the mirror pressing plate portion with the mirror removed, as viewed from the front side. 15 is a cross-sectional view of the mirror, the mirror pressing plate, the protrusion, and the hinge as viewed from the direction of the arrow DD in FIG. The mirror door 100 of the mirror cabinet 50 according to the fourth embodiment has a first convex portion 111 in which a convex portion 110 is provided on a mirror pressing plate portion 63, and a second convex portion 120 attached to the first convex portion 111. The hinge 70 is fixed to the second convex portion 120. In the fourth embodiment, the same components as those in the above-mentioned first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted.

[0062] The first convex portion 111 is formed integrally with the mirror holding plate portion 63. The first convex portion 111 is located forward of the end portion 63c1 of the opening / closing shaft side 63c of the mirror holding plate portion 63. The second convex portion 120 is disposed between the first convex portion 111 and the end portion 63c1 of the opening / closing shaft side 63c. The first convex portion 111 has a side portion 113 that protrudes from the back surface 63b of the mirror holding plate portion 63, and a protruding surface portion 114 that is located on the tip side (protruding end side) of the side portion 113.

[0063] The side surface portion 113 has, for example, a front surface portion 113a located in front when the mirror door 100 is opened, a rear surface portion 113b located in the rear (toward the cabinet body 51) when the mirror door 100 is opened, an upper surface portion 113c located above, and a lower surface portion 113d facing the upper surface portion 113c in the vertical direction. The front surface portion 113a and the rear surface portion 113b face each other in the horizontal direction.

[0064] The rear surface portion 113b of the side surface portion 113 has female thread portions 115 spaced apart in the up-down direction. A screw 127 for fixing the second convex portion 120 to the first convex portion 111 is screwed into the female thread portion 115. As shown in Figs. 12 to 14, the female thread portion 115 extends from the rear surface portion 113b toward the front surface portion 113a. This allows the length of the portion of the female thread portion 115 that is screwed into the screw 127 to be equal to the length of the first convex portion 111 in the front-rear direction.

[0065] The second convex portion 120 is fixed to the side surface portion 113 of the first convex portion 111 with a screw 127. Specifically, the second convex portion 120 is fixed to the rear surface portion 113b of the first convex portion 111 with a screw 127. The second convex portion 120 has a flange portion 121 attached to the side surface portion 113 (rear surface portion 113b) of the first convex portion 111, and a fixing surface portion 123 that protrudes from the flange portion 121 and to which the hinge 70 is fixed.

[0066] The flange portion 121 has through holes 121a formed at positions corresponding to the female thread portions 115 of the first convex portion 111. As shown in Fig. 13, the second convex portion 120 is fixed to the first convex portion 111 by screwing the screws 127 into the female thread portions 115 via the through holes 121a. In this case, the screws 127 are shielded from the front by the first convex portion 111. Therefore, when the mirror door 100 is opened, the screws 127 cannot be seen, improving the design.

[0067] The fixing surface portion 123 has a fitting hole 124 located in the center and recessed in the thickness direction, and female thread portions 125 formed above and below the fitting hole 124. With the insertion portion 74 inserted into the fitting hole 124, the hinge 70 is fixed to the second protrusion 120 by screwing a screw 128 into the female thread portion 125 through the through hole 73a.

[0068] 15, the vertical length dimension L3 of the first convex portion 111 is greater than the vertical length dimension L4 of the second convex portion 120. This allows the second convex portion 120 to be stably fixed to the first convex portion 111. Also, by providing the female thread portion 115 at any position on the first convex portion 111, the height position of the second convex portion 120 can be made different. This allows the vertical position of the hinge 70 of the mirror door 100 to be set at any position, so that the mirror door 100 can be attached to a plurality of types of cabinet bodies 51.

[0069] 12, the first protrusion 111 extends in the up-down direction along the front end 53a of the vertical wall portion 53 of the cabinet main body 51. That is, the rear surface portion 113b of the first protrusion 65 extends parallel to the front end 53a of the vertical wall portion 53. This makes it possible to easily align the hinge 70 by fixing the hinge 70 to the rear surface portion 113b of the first protrusion 111, for example.

[0070] Thus, the mirror door 100 of the mirror cabinet 50 according to the fourth embodiment can have the same action and effect as the mirror door 60 of the first embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the second convex portion 120 for fixing the hinge 70 is fixed to the side portion 113 of the first convex portion 111. This allows the mirror door 100 to attach the hinge 70 with the protruding height of the convex portion 110 as small as possible.

[0071] Next, FIG. 16 is a perspective view showing a mirror door used in a mirror cabinet according to a fifth embodiment. The mirror door 130 of the mirror cabinet 50 according to the fifth embodiment has one first protrusion 132 in which a protrusion 131 extends in the vertical direction, and a second protrusion 120 attached to the first protrusion 132. In the fifth embodiment, the same components as those in the first and fourth embodiments described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0072] The first protrusion 132 extends from the upper end to the lower end of the opening and closing plate 61. The second protrusion 120 located on the upper side and the second protrusion 120 located on the lower side are screwed to the same first protrusion 132. In this way, by providing the mirror door 130 with one first protrusion 132 extending in the vertical direction, the hinge 70 can be attached at any position in the vertical direction.

[0073] The first protrusion 132 extends in the vertical direction along the front end 53a of the vertical wall portion 53. Therefore, the mirror door 130 can be attached to a plurality of types of cabinet bodies 51 by attaching the hinge 70 to any position in the vertical direction.

[0074] Thus, the mirror door 130 of the mirror cabinet 50 according to the fifth embodiment can have the same action and effect as the mirror door 100 of the fourth embodiment. The first protrusion 132 makes the mirror door 130 more versatile for use with a plurality of types of cabinet bodies 51.

[0075] In the above embodiment, the hinge 70 is a slide hinge. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the hinge 140 may be a flat hinge.

[0076] In the above-described first embodiment, the vertical length dimension L1 of the protrusion 65 is greater than the vertical length dimension L2 of the hinge 70. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the vertical length dimension L1 of the protrusion 65 and the vertical length dimension L2 of the hinge 70 may be the same. The same is true for the vertical length dimension L3 of the first protrusion 111 and the vertical length dimension L4 of the second protrusion 120 in the fourth embodiment.

[0077] In the above-mentioned second embodiment, an example has been described in which the convex portion 82 is formed integrally with the mirror pressing plate portion 63. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the convex portion 82 may be separate from the mirror pressing plate portion 63. This also applies to the fourth and fifth embodiments.

[0078] The above describes the embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to these descriptions. Regarding the above-mentioned embodiments, those in the art who have appropriately made design changes are also included in the scope of the present invention as long as they have the features of the present invention.
