Background Art

[0002] So far, the applicant of the present application has provided a number of digital art works that project images by a projector into an indoor space whose wall surface is covered with mirrors (for example, Patent Document 1). In this mirror-covered space, viewers can enter, and therein, viewers can experience a sense of unity and immersion with the art work.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, many of the applicant's artworks have mirrors attached to the entire wall surface of the indoor space. In such works, the boundary between the real space and the virtual image space reflected in the mirror becomes ambiguous. In that case, there is a concern that the viewer may accidentally collide with the wall mirror while walking. In particular, in order to project an image into the indoor space by a projector, it is necessary to turn down the indoor lighting to make it dark. In that case, the possibility that the viewer will collide with the wall mirror increases. If the mirror cracks or breaks when the viewer collides with the wall, there is a risk that the viewer may be injured by the fragments of the mirror. Therefore, measures are needed to avoid such a situation. Also, if the mirror itself is physically hard, even if the mirror does not crack, there is a risk that the viewer may be injured by the impact when colliding with the mirror.

[0005] In this regard, Patent Document 2 proposes an impact buffering wall surface of a structure that is excellent in buffering against impact and difficult to break. This impact buffering wall surface structure 1 has an impact buffering layer provided on the wall body and a protective layer provided on the surface of this impact buffering layer 2. However, in Patent Document 2, it is explained that this protective layer is formed by arranging a plurality of sheets of damage-resistant sheets side by side on the surface of the impact buffering layer, and nothing is mentioned about protecting the mirror and it remains unexamined.

[0006] Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a mirror structure that is difficult to crack against impact and is easy to absorb impact.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] As a result of earnestly studying means for solving the above problems of the prior art, the inventor of the present invention obtained the knowledge that by attaching the mirror plate to the wall surface with a buffer material interposed between the wall surface and the mirror plate, the mirror plate becomes difficult to crack and is easy to absorb impact. And based on the above knowledge, the inventor of the present invention conceived that the problems of the prior art can be solved and completed the present invention.

[0008] The present invention relates to a mirror structure 100. The mirror structure 100 according to the present invention includes a mirror plate 20, a buffer member 30, and a fixing member 40. The mirror plate 20 has a mirror surface on its front side. The buffer member 30 is disposed on the back side of the mirror plate 20. The fixing member 40 is a member for attaching the mirror plate 20 to the wall surface 10 with the buffer member 30 interposed between the wall surface 10 and the mirror plate 20. Note that the mirror structure 100 basically does not include the wall surface 10 as a part of its components, but the wall surface 10 may also be regarded as a part of the components of the mirror structure 100. Thus, by interposing the buffer member 30 between the mirror plate 20 and the wall surface 10, even when an impact is applied to the mirror plate 20, the mirror plate 20 can be made less likely to break. Also, for example, even when a spectator collides with the mirror plate 20, since the buffer member 30 absorbs the impact at the time of the collision, it is possible to make it less likely to cause injury to the spectator.

[0009] The mirror structure 100 according to the present invention may further include a reinforcing member 50 fixed to the back side of the mirror plate 20. Also, it is preferable that the buffer member 30 has a through hole 31 penetrating in the thickness direction. In this case, the mirror plate 20 is attached to the wall surface 10 with the reinforcing member 50 embedded in the through hole 31 of the buffer member 30. When the buffer member 30 is disposed between the mirror plate 20 and the wall surface 10, there is a concern that the mirror plate 20 may be bent and the mirror image reflected on the mirror plate 20 may be distorted. Therefore, by fixing the reinforcing member 50 to the back side of the mirror plate 20, the bending of the mirror plate 20 can be suppressed. Thus, it is preferable that the reinforcing member 50 is a member having a higher flexural rigidity than the mirror plate 20 in order to suppress the bending of the mirror plate 20. Also, when the reinforcing member 50 is disposed on the back side of the mirror plate 20, it becomes difficult for the mirror plate 20 and the buffer member 30 to come into contact with each other. Therefore, it is preferable to provide the through hole 31 in the buffer member 30 and embed the reinforcing member 50 in the through hole 31.

[0010] The mirror structure 100 according to the present invention may further include a sheet-shaped first coupling member 61 and a sheet-shaped second coupling member 62. The first coupling member 61 is fixed to the back side of the mirror plate 20. The second coupling member 62 is fixed to the front side of the buffer material 30. When the mirror plate 20 is attached to the wall surface 10, the first coupling member 61 and the second coupling member 62 are detachably coupled to each other. As these first coupling member 61 and second coupling member 62, for example, a magnet sheet or a hook-and-loop fastener can be adopted. In this way, the back side of the mirror plate 20 and the front side of the buffer material 30 are coupled by the first coupling member 61 and the second coupling member 62. Thereby, the bending of the mirror plate 20 that occurs when the mirror plate 20 is attached to the wall surface 10 can be suppressed.

[0011] In the mirror structure 100 according to the present invention, the fixing member 40 is preferably a member for attaching the mirror plate 20 and the buffer material 30 to the wall surface 10 in either or both of the edge-pressing type and the Kendor type. The edge-pressing type is a method of attaching to the wall surface 10 by pressing the edge of the mirror plate 20 from the front side. The Kendor type is a method of attaching to the wall surface 10 by fitting the mirror plate 20 into upper and lower frame members. It should be noted that it is also possible to fix the left and right edge portions of the mirror plate 20 in the edge-pressing type and fix the upper and lower edge portions of the mirror plate 20 in the Kendor type.

Effect of the Invention

[0012] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mirror structure that is less likely to crack against impact and is easy to absorb impact.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, and also includes those appropriately modified by those skilled in the art within an obvious range from the following embodiments.

[0015] [1. First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows a mirror structure 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the mirror structure 100 according to the present invention has a basic configuration including a wall surface 10, a mirror plate 20, a buffer material 30, and a fixing member 40. Note that the wall surface 10 may not be included in the components of the mirror structure 100. The mirror structure 100 has a configuration in which a buffer material 30 also formed in a plate shape is disposed on the back side of the mirror plate 20 formed in a plate shape, and the buffer material 30 is interposed between the mirror plate 20 and the wall surface 10. Further, the fixing member 40 is used to maintain the state in which these mirror plates 20 and buffer materials 30 are attached to the wall surface 10. In the present specification, the "back side" means the side facing the wall surface 10, and the "front side" means the side opposite to the back side, that is, the side not facing the wall surface 10.

[0016] The wall surface 10 may utilize existing equipment that requires the attachment of the mirror plate 20. The wall surface 10 may be an indoor wall or an outdoor wall. Further, the wall surface 10 may be a stationary structure fixed to a building or a building, or a movable structure not fixed thereto. Examples of the wall surface 10 are gypsum board, concrete, wood, metal plate, and plastic plate, but other wall surfaces made of various materials can also be used. The shape of the wall surface 10 is preferably a planar shape perpendicular to the floor surface as shown in FIG. 1, but may also be a planar shape inclined with respect to the floor surface. Incidentally, although illustration is omitted, the shape of the wall surface 10 can also take various forms such as a curved surface shape or an irregular shape with unevenness.

[0017] The mirror plate 20 is a plate-shaped member at least the front side of which is formed of a mirror surface. Also, in the present embodiment, the mirror plate 20 is formed in a square shape when viewed from the front side. However, the shape of the mirror plate 20 is not limited to a square shape, and it can also be circular, triangular, or other polygonal shapes. As such a mirror plate 20, a known one can be adopted. Examples of the mirror plate 20 are metal mirrors such as aluminum mirrors, acrylic mirrors, glass mirrors, and polycarbonate mirrors. The mirror plate 20 can select an appropriate material according to its use and installation environment. Among them, the aluminum mirror has less warping, is less likely to crack, and has a good reflectivity, so it is suitable for places where safety is required. Also, the acrylic mirror has the characteristics of being lightweight and less likely to crack. Therefore, when mirroring the wall surface of an indoor space where visitors can enter, it is preferable to adopt this aluminum mirror or acrylic mirror. For example, generally, an aluminum mirror includes a base material layer, a reflective layer, and a protective layer. The base material layer is composed of a plate of an aluminum alloy that becomes the main structure of the aluminum mirror. The reflective layer is formed by chemically or electrochemically treating the surface of the base material layer and highly polishing it. By this treatment, the surface of the aluminum itself becomes a mirror surface that reflects light. The protective layer is a thin transparent layer applied on the reflective layer, and usually an anodizing treatment (aluminum anodizing treatment) is performed to protect the surface of the aluminum from oxidation and corrosion. Also, generally, an acrylic mirror includes a base material layer, a reflective layer, and a protective layer. The base material layer is composed of a plate of an acrylic resin (polymethyl methacrylate) that becomes the main structure of the acrylic mirror. The reflective layer is formed by depositing a metal such as aluminum or silver on one side of the base material layer by vacuum deposition, and this reflective layer serves as a mirror surface that reflects light. The protective layer is a thin transparent layer applied on the reflective layer, and an epoxy resin or a special paint is applied to protect the reflective layer from oxidation and corrosion. In addition, other glass mirrors and polycarbonate mirrors are those in which the base material layer is composed of a glass plate and a polycarbonate plate, respectively. The thickness of the mirror plate 20 is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 3 mm or more or 5 mm or more, and 20 mm or less or 15 mm or less.In addition, the height and width of the mirror plate 20 can be appropriately designed according to its use and installation environment.

[0018] The buffer material 30 is disposed on the back side of the mirror plate 20 and is a member for absorbing the impact applied to the mirror plate 20 and making the mirror plate 20 less likely to break. In the present embodiment, the buffer material 30 is plate-shaped like the mirror plate 20 and is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from the front side. As the buffer material 30, a known one can be adopted. Examples of the buffer material 30 are urethane sheets, foamed polyethylene sheets, silicone rubber sheets, rubber sheets, felts, non-woven fabrics, and expanded polystyrene plates. Among them, urethane sheets are particularly useful as the buffer material 30 because they have excellent impact absorption performance, light weight, good workability, excellent durability, and are economical. Note that the buffer material 30 does not necessarily have to be composed of a single material, and it is also possible to combine a plurality of materials to form a layered structure. The thickness of the buffer material 30 is preferably larger than the thickness of the mirror plate 20 in order to exhibit sufficient impact resistance. For example, the thickness of the buffer material 30 is preferably 5 mm or more or 10 mm or more, and 30 mm or less or 20 mm or less. The buffer material 30 preferably has a shape and area that can almost completely cover the back side of the mirror plate 20. The buffer material 30 is basically formed in accordance with the shape of the mirror plate 20, but does not necessarily have to be exactly the same as the mirror plate 20. For example, the area of the buffer material 30 may be made larger than that of the mirror plate 20 to avoid direct contact between the mirror plate 20 and the wall surface 10. For example, when the area of the mirror plate 20 is taken as 100%, the area of the buffer material 30 is preferably 90% or 105% or more, and 150% or 130% or less.

[0019] In addition, the buffer material 30 may be fixed to the back side of the mirror plate 20. The fixing method is not particularly limited, and examples include a method of fixing with an adhesive, a method of fixing with a double-sided tape, or a mechanical fixing method such as bolting.

[0020] The fixing member 40 is a means used to attach the mirror plate 20 and the cushioning material 30 to the wall surface 10, and includes one or more members. In the first embodiment, the fixing member 40 fixes the mirror plate 20 or the like to the wall surface 10 in a so-called Kendon type. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the fixing member 40 has an upper frame member 41 and a lower frame member 42. As shown in FIG. 1, the upper frame member 41 has a U-shaped cross section and is fixed to the wall surface 10 with a groove capable of fitting the upper edges of the mirror plate 20 and the cushioning material 30 facing downward. Further, the lower frame member 42 also has a U-shaped cross section and is fixed to the wall surface 10 with a groove capable of fitting the lower edges of the mirror plate 20 and the cushioning material 30 facing upward. The grooves of the upper frame member 41 and the lower frame member 42 extend linearly along the upper and lower edges of the mirror plate 20 or the like, respectively. Further, these upper frame member 41 and lower frame member 42 are fixed to the wall surface 10 by a strong method such as bolting.

[0021] When attaching the mirror plate 20 and the cushioning material 30 to the wall surface 10, first, the upper frame member 41 and the lower frame member 42, which are the fixing members 40, are fixed to the wall surface 10 in accordance with the height of the mirror plate 20 or the like. Note that the lower frame member 42 may be fixed at the lowest height position in contact with the floor surface, or may be fixed at a height position slightly separated from the floor surface. Thereafter, the upper edges of the mirror plate 20 and the cushioning material 30 are fitted into the groove of the upper frame member 41. Then, thereafter, the lower edges of the mirror plate 20 and the cushioning material 30 are placed in the groove of the lower frame member 42, and the mirror plate 20 or the like is dropped into the groove of the lower frame member 42. Note that the height of the front side of the groove of the lower frame member 42 is lower than the height of the back side of the groove so that the mirror plate 20 or the like can be easily placed in the groove of the lower frame member 42. According to the Kendon type fixing member 40, the mirror plate 20 and the cushioning material 30 can be attached to the wall surface 10 relatively easily by such a procedure.

[0022] [2. Second Embodiment] Next, with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, a second embodiment of the mirror structure 100 will be described. Regarding the second embodiment, descriptions of the same elements as those in the first embodiment will be omitted, and the description will focus on the elements different from those in the first embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the second embodiment is common with the first embodiment in that the wall surface 10, the mirror plate 20, the buffer material 30, and the fixing member 40 are used as basic components. However, in the second embodiment, the configuration of the fixing member 40 is different from that in the first embodiment.

[0023] In the second embodiment, the fixing member 40 is configured to attach the mirror plate 20 to the wall surface 10 in a pressing-edge manner. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the fixing member 40 of this embodiment includes a fixing frame member 43, a left column member 44, a right column member 45, a left pressing member 46, and a right pressing member 47. The fixing frame member 43 is a rectangular frame member composed of an upper side, a lower side, a right side, and a left side, and is fixed to the back side of the mirror plate 20 along the edge portions of the four sides of the mirror plate 20. A plate-shaped buffer material 30 can be fitted into the frame of the fixing frame member 43. The left column member 44 and the right column member 45 are respectively square-column-shaped angle members, and are respectively attached to the left and right sides of the mirror plate 20 and the fixing frame member 43. These fixing frame member 43, left column member 44, and right column member 45 are fixed to the wall surface 10 by a fixing method such as an adhesive, a double-sided tape, or bolt tightening. The left pressing member 46 and the right pressing member 47 are thin plate-shaped members with an L-shaped cross section, and are fixed to the left column member 44 and the right column member 45 respectively, and at the same time, press the left and right side edge portions of the mirror plate 20 from the front side. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, the left side edge portion of the mirror plate 20 is sandwiched between the left side of the fixing frame member 43 and the left pressing member 46. Similarly, the right side edge portion of the mirror plate 20 is sandwiched between the right side of the fixing frame member 43 and the right pressing member 47. In this way, with the buffer material 30 interposed between the mirror plate 20 and the wall surface 10, the mirror plate 20 is attached to the wall surface 10 by the respective members 43 to 47 included in the fixing member 40. The fixing frame member 43, the left column member 44, the right column member 45, the left pressing member 46, and the right pressing member 47 may be appropriately made of known materials such as wood, metal, or plastic.

[0024] In this embodiment, the buffer member 30 may be fixed to the back side of the mirror plate 20 by the fixing method such as the adhesive described above. Further, the buffer member 30 can also be fixed to the front side of the wall surface 10 by the fixing method such as the adhesive. Further, regarding the method of fixing the left pressing member 46 and the right pressing member 47 to the left column member 44 and the right column member 45 respectively, for example, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, protrusions (studs) are provided on the inner surface sides of the left pressing member 46 and the right pressing member 47, and these protrusions are inserted into the receiving grooves of the left column member 44 and the right column member 45, and a method of fitting the two may be adopted. In addition, it is also possible to fix the left pressing member 46 and the left column member 44, and the right pressing member 47 and the right column member 45 respectively by a fixing method such as an adhesive.

[0025] [3. Third Embodiment] Subsequently, with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, a third embodiment of the mirror structure 100 will be described. Regarding the third embodiment, the description of the same elements as those in the second embodiment will be omitted, and the description will be centered on the elements different from those in the second embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the third embodiment is common to the second embodiment in that the wall surface 10, the mirror plate 20, the buffer member 30, and the fixing member 40 are used as basic components. However, the mirror structure 100 of the third embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that it further includes a reinforcing member 50.

[0026] The reinforcing member 50 is used for the purpose of suppressing the deflection that occurs in the mirror plate 20 when the mirror plate 20 is attached to the wall surface 10. In the present embodiment, the reinforcing member 50 is a rectangular frame member composed of an upper side, a lower side, a right side, and a left side, and is fixed to the back side of the mirror plate 20 together with the fixed frame member 43. The reinforcing member 50 is smaller in size than the fixed frame member 43 and can be disposed within the frame of the fixed frame member 43. The reinforcing member 50 has a greater flexural rigidity than the mirror plate 20 in terms of material or structure. As shown in FIG. 4, by forming the reinforcing member 50 as a rectangular frame member, the flexural rigidity is structurally increased. Also, by making the thickness of the reinforcing member 50 greater than the thickness of the mirror plate 20, the flexural rigidity of the reinforcing member 50 is structurally increased. Further, by forming the reinforcing member 50 from wood or metal, the flexural rigidity of the reinforcing member 50 can be materially increased compared to the mirror plate 20, which is, for example, an aluminum mirror or an acrylic mirror. In this way, by fixing the reinforcing member 50 with a large flexural rigidity to the back side of the mirror plate 20, the deflection of the mirror plate 20 is suppressed.

[0027] Also, as shown in FIG. 4, in the cushioning material 30, a through hole 31 is formed at a portion that comes into contact with the reinforcing member 50 when the mirror plate 20 is attached to the wall surface 10. This through hole 31 is formed from the front surface to the back surface of the cushioning material 30. The shape of this through hole 31 of the reinforcing member 50 corresponds to the shape, and in the present embodiment, the through hole 31 has a rectangular frame shape composed of an upper side, a lower side, a right side, and a left side. For this reason, the reinforcing member 50 is to be embedded within the through hole 31 of the cushioning material 30. Accordingly, it is possible to avoid the reinforcing member 50 and the cushioning material 30 from interfering with each other and making it difficult for the mirror plate 20 to adhere closely to the cushioning material 30.

[0028] Note that the reinforcing member 50 may be fixed to the back side of the mirror plate 20 with an adhesive or the like and also fixed to the front side of the wall surface 10 with an adhesive or the like. By fixing the reinforcing member 50 to both the mirror plate 20 and the wall surface 10, the mounting state of the mirror plate 20 with respect to the wall surface 10 becomes stable, so that the deflection of the mirror plate 20 can be further reduced.

[0029] [4. Fourth Embodiment] Next, with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8, a fourth embodiment of the mirror structure 100 will be described. Regarding the fourth embodiment, the description of the same elements as those in the second embodiment will be omitted, and the description will focus on the elements different from those in the second embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the fourth embodiment is common with the second embodiment in that the wall surface 10, the mirror plate 20, the buffer material 30, and the fixing member 40 are used as basic components. However, the mirror structure 100 of the fourth embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that it further includes a first coupling member 61 and a second coupling member 62.

[0030] As the first coupling member 61 and the second coupling member 62, sheet-like members that are detachably coupled to each other are used. Examples of the first and second coupling members 61, 62 are a magnetic sheet and a hook-and-loop fastener. When the first and second coupling members 61, 62 are magnetic sheets, these members are attracted by magnetic force. A magnetic sheet is generally formed by arranging linear magnets alternately with N poles and S poles. Therefore, magnetic sheets can attract each other regardless of their polarities. A hook-and-loop fastener generally consists of a member with a hook surface and a member with a loop surface. By bringing these hook surfaces and loop surfaces into contact with each other, the hook surface catches on the loop surface and the two are engaged. Either a magnetic sheet or a hook-and-loop fastener can be adopted as the first and second coupling members 61, 62. However, from the viewpoint of facilitating the construction when attaching the mirror plate 20 to the wall surface 10, it is preferable to adopt a magnetic sheet as the first and second coupling members 61, 62.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 6, the first coupling member 61 is fixed to the back side of the mirror plate 20, and the second coupling member 62 is fixed to the front side of the buffer member 30. Further, as shown in Fig. 7, the first and second coupling members 61 and 62 are provided at positions where they couple with each other when the mirror plate 20 is attached to the wall surface 10. In this way, when the first coupling member 61 and the second coupling member 62 are coupled, the entire mirror plate 20 is likely to be in close contact with the buffer member 30. When the mirror plate 20 deviates from the buffer member 30 (that is, when the gap between the mirror plate 20 and the buffer member 30 increases), the mirror plate 20 is likely to be bent. Therefore, by bringing the mirror plate 20 and the buffer member 30 into close contact via the first and second coupling members 61 and 62, the bending generated in the mirror plate 20 can be suppressed.

[0032] In the example shown in FIG. 6, the first coupling member 61 and the second coupling member 62 are each formed in a quadrangular planar shape and are respectively attached to the central portion on the back side of the mirror plate 20 and the central portion on the front side of the buffer material 30. Since it is assumed that the deflection of the mirror plate 20 is the largest at its central portion, it is effective to attach the rectangular planar first coupling member 61 to the central portion of the mirror plate 20 in this way. On the other hand, FIG. 7 shows another example of the shape of the first coupling member 61 attached to the back side of the mirror plate 20. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7(a), each of the first coupling members 61 is in a linear shape extending in the lateral direction (left - right direction) of the mirror plate 20, and a plurality of such first coupling members 61 are attached at intervals in the height direction (up - down direction). Also, in the example shown in FIG. 7(b), the first coupling member 61 is in an H - shape, and is composed of two linear portions extending in the height direction along the left and right side edges of the mirror plate 20 and one linear portion extending in the lateral direction near the center of the mirror plate 20 so as to connect these two linear portions. In the example shown in FIG. 7(c), the first coupling member 61 is formed in a quadrangular frame shape. In the example shown in FIG. 7(d), the first coupling member 61 is in an 8 - shape, and is composed of two linear portions extending in the height direction along the left and right side edges of the mirror plate 20 and three linear portions extending in the lateral direction near the center of the mirror plate 20 so as to connect these two linear portions. Note that the shape and arrangement of the first coupling member 61 attached to the mirror plate 20 are not limited to those listed here, and the first coupling member 61 may be arranged around the portion where the deflection of the mirror plate 20 becomes large. Although not shown in the figure, the shape and arrangement of the second coupling member 62 attached to the buffer material 30 basically correspond to the shape and arrangement of the first coupling member 61 shown in FIG. 8 and the like.

[0033] [5. Fifth Embodiment] Next, referring to FIG. 9, a fifth embodiment of the mirror structure 100 will be described. The fifth embodiment employs both the Kendon-type fixing members 40 (41, 42) shown in FIG. 1 and the edge-pressing type fixing members 40 (43 to 47) shown in FIG. 2 and the like. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, in the fifth embodiment, the upper edge and the lower edge of the mirror plate 20 are fixed by the upper frame member 41 and the lower frame member 42, which are the Kendon-type fixing members 40, respectively. Also, the left and right side edges of the mirror plate 20 are fixed by the fixing frame member 43 (see FIG. 2 because it is omitted in FIG. 9), the left column member 44, the right column member 45, the left pressing member 46, and the right pressing member 47, which are the edge-pressing type fixing members 40. Thus, the Kendon-type fixing members 40 (41, 42) and the edge-pressing type fixing members 40 (43 to 47) are not alternative, and it is also possible to use both in combination.

[0034] As described above, in this specification, in order to express the content of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and includes obvious modification forms and improvement forms that those skilled in the art can make based on the matters described in this specification.
