Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a makeup mirror, and more particularly to a makeup mirror to be installed on a bathroom vanity or the like. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, the number of bathroom vanities that are wider than the entire width of the vanity has increased, and the makeup mirrors installed on these vanities are also becoming larger. The frames (housings) of makeup mirrors are often made of metal materials such as aluminum to ensure strength, and are often made of hollow extruded material for productivity and lightweight design.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 describes an upper cabinet (makeup mirror) that has a frame (housing) made of a material such as aluminum and equipped with a top plate, bottom plate, side plates, etc., and further has a mirror door attached to the front side of the frame. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7085341 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The conventional upper cabinet (makeup mirror) described above combines a frame (housing) made of metal parts with a mirror door made of glass, so a large load (impact) can be applied to the mirror when the mirror door is attached to the frame or when the mirror door is opened or closed. In particular, in the upper cabinet described in Patent Document 1, the frame (housing) is box-shaped and made of metal material, which makes the frame extremely rigid and eliminates the escape route for the above-mentioned impact that is absorbed by the elastic body, resulting in excessive load being placed on the mirror door, which is a problem.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art, and aims to provide a makeup mirror that can easily absorb the impact that occurs when assembling or opening and closing the mirror door. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the makeup mirror of the present invention has a mirror door and a housing that is positioned on the back side of the mirror door and holds a mirror, and the housing has a top plate, a bottom plate, and side plates that extend vertically on both sides to connect the top plate and bottom plate, and the bottom plate of the housing has an upper surface and a side surface that extends downward from the front end of the upper surface and has a free lower end, and an elastic body is provided between the mirror door and the side surface of the bottom plate of the housing. According to the present invention configured in this manner, the bottom plate of the housing has an upper surface and a side surface that extends downward from the front end of the upper surface and whose lower end is a free end, and an elastic body is provided between the mirror door and the side surface of the bottom plate of the housing. Therefore, even if an impact is applied when closing the mirror door, in addition to the deformation of the elastic body, the side surface of the bottom of the housing has flexibility due to the free end (cantilever shape), so the impact acting on the mirror door can be reliably absorbed.

[0008] In the present invention, the cross-sectional shapes of the top and side surfaces of the bottom plate of the housing are preferably formed continuously along the lateral direction. If the horizontal length of the top surface and side of the bottom plate of the makeup mirror housing is short, there is a risk that the side of the bottom plate will undergo plastic deformation when an impact acts on the mirror door.However, according to the present invention configured in this manner, the cross-sectional shapes of the top surface and side of the bottom plate of the housing are formed continuously along the horizontal direction, so that rigidity can be ensured while maintaining the flexible shape of the side of the bottom plate of the housing, thereby reliably absorbing impacts acting on the mirror door.

[0009] In the present invention, preferably, the bottom plate of the housing further has one or more central surfaces facing the side surfaces and extending downward from the top surface, and the position of the lower end of this central surface is lower than the position of the lower end of the side surfaces. According to the present invention configured in this manner, the bottom plate of the housing further has one or more central surfaces facing the side surfaces and extending downward from the top surface, and the position of the lower end of this central surface is lower than the position of the lower end of the side surfaces, so that the flexibility of the side surfaces of the bottom plate of the housing can be maintained while ensuring the strength of the housing.

[0010] In the present invention, the elastic body is preferably provided below the center in the height direction of the side surface of the bottom plate of the housing. According to the present invention configured in this manner, the elastic body is provided below the center of the height direction of the side of the bottom plate of the housing, so that the load can be received near the free end of the side of the housing, thereby increasing elasticity.

[0011] In the present invention, preferably, a partition is fixed to the upper surface of the bottom plate of the housing. If the divider were provided to divide the bottom plate horizontally, the rigidity of the side of the bottom plate would be weakened, and the side would undergo localized plastic deformation when absorbing an impact. However, according to the present invention configured in this way, the divider is fixed to the top surface of the bottom plate of the housing, so the bottom plate can be provided entirely or partially across the horizontal direction (width direction), and the entire bottom plate can absorb impact. (Note: The explanation of the function of claim 5 is somewhat unclear. Please check.)

[0012] In the present invention, preferably, a functional component is attached to the central surface of the bottom plate of the housing. According to the present invention configured in this manner, the functional components are attached to the central surface of the bottom plate of the housing, so that no other components are required for attaching the functional components, and furthermore, when viewed from the front, all or part of the functional components can be concealed by the side surface of the bottom plate.

[0013] In the present invention, preferably, the bottom plate of the housing further includes a first horizontal plane extending rearward from the lower part of the central surface, a first vertical plane extending downward from the rear part of the first horizontal plane, a second horizontal plane extending rearward from the lower part of the first vertical plane, and a second vertical plane extending downward from the rear part of the upper surface of the bottom plate. According to the present invention configured in this manner, the bottom plate of the housing further comprises a first horizontal surface extending rearward from the lower part of the central surface, a first vertical surface extending downward from the rear of this first horizontal surface, a second horizontal surface extending rearward from the lower part of this first vertical surface, and a second vertical surface extending downward from the rear of the upper surface of the bottom plate.Therefore, functional components such as LED lighting can be mounted on the first horizontal surface of the bottom plate of the housing, and further, the rigidity of the bottom plate of the housing can be increased by the second vertical surface.

[0014] In the present invention, the partition is preferably a solid member and is fastened to the upper surface of the bottom plate by screws. According to the present invention configured in this manner, the partition is a solid member and is fastened to the upper surface of the bottom plate with screws, so that the partition can be replaced simply by fastening and unfastening the screws, improving maintainability. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] Hereinafter, a makeup mirror according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the basic structure of a makeup mirror according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a bathroom vanity to which a makeup mirror according to the first embodiment of the present invention is attached, Fig. 2 is a front view showing the makeup mirror according to the first embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the makeup mirror according to the first embodiment of the present invention with the mirror door in an open state, and Fig. 4 is a front view showing the makeup mirror according to the first embodiment of the present invention with the mirror door removed.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, the bathroom vanity 1 comprises, from bottom to top, a cabinet 2, a sink 4, a water discharge device 6, and a makeup mirror 8 according to the first embodiment. The cabinet 2 has two drawers 2a for storing toiletries, cosmetics, etc. The sink 4 comprises a washbasin 4a and a counter 4b. The water discharge device 6 is for discharging hot and cold water, and the temperature and amount of water discharged can be adjusted by the user. The makeup mirror 8 has five mirror doors 24 attached to its front side, as will be described later.

[0019] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the makeup mirror 8 has a housing 10, which has a top plate 12, a bottom plate 14, side plates 16 (right side plate 16a, left side plate 16b) that extend vertically on both sides to connect the top plate 12 and the bottom plate 14, and a back plate 18, and has a rectangular frame structure when viewed from the front.

[0020] Four dividers 20 are provided between the top plate 12 and the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10, and these dividers 20 extend in the vertical direction, with their upper ends fixed to the top plate 12 and their lower ends fixed to the bottom plate 14. Furthermore, fifteen shelf plates 22 extending in the left-right direction are attached to the intermediate region in the height direction between the top plate 12 and the bottom plate 14 and between each divider 20 (see FIG. 4).

[0021] 2 and 3, a total of five mirror doors 24 are attached to the four partitions 20 so that they can be opened and closed by hinges 26. As will be described later, each mirror door 24 is composed of a base member 28 and a mirror 30 attached to this base member 28 (see FIG. 18). The hinges 26 are attached to the partitions 20 and mirror doors 24 at two locations, at the top and bottom.

[0022] The cross-sectional shape of the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 will be described with reference to Figures 5 to 7. Figure 5 is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along line VV in Figure 2, Figure 6 is an enlarged vertical cross-sectional view of part A in Figure 5, and Figure 7 is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII in Figure 2.

[0023] 5 and 6, the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 has an upper surface 32 extending horizontally and side surfaces 34 extending downward from the tip of the upper surface 32. The lower ends of the side surfaces 34 are free ends, and therefore the side surfaces 34 have a cantilever structure. The upper surface 32 and side surfaces 34 of the bottom plate 14 are provided across the entire area in the horizontal direction (frontage direction), from the right side panel 16 to the left side panel 16. Note that the bottom plate 14 does not have to be provided across the entire horizontal area, but may be provided in a partial area.

[0024] A central surface 36 is attached to the lower surface of the upper surface 32 of the bottom plate 14 at approximately the center in the front-to-rear direction, facing the side surface 34 and extending toward it. This central surface 36 is formed to be longer in the height direction than the side surface 34, and therefore the position of the lower end 36a of the central surface 36 is lower than the position of the lower end 34a of the side surface 34.

[0025] 6, the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 further includes a first horizontal surface 38 extending horizontally rearward from the middle of the lower part of the central surface 36, a first vertical surface 40 extending vertically downward from the rear end of the first horizontal surface 38, and a second horizontal surface 42 extending horizontally rearward from the lower end of the first vertical surface 40. The bottom plate 14 further includes a second vertical surface 44 extending vertically downward from the rear end of the top surface 32. The second vertical surface 44 is attached to the back plate 18 of the housing 10 described above.

[0026] As shown in Figure 6, an elastic body 46 such as rubber is provided between the mirror door 24 and the side surface 34 of the bottom plate 14, and this elastic body 46 is capable of absorbing the impact acting on the mirror door 24 when the mirror door 24 is attached to the housing 10 and when the mirror door 24 is closed.

[0027] Functional components such as an LED lighting fixture 47 and an outlet 48 are attached to the front and rear surfaces of the central surface 36 of the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10. When a functional component is attached to the front surface of the central surface 36, the side surface 34 is formed in front of it, so that all or part of the functional component is concealed.

[0028] 7, the partition 20 is a solid member, and therefore, the partition 20 is fastened to the bottom plate 14 by screws 50. Similarly, the partition 20 is fastened to the top plate 12 by screws.

[0029] Next, a first modified example of the makeup mirror 8 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the first modified example of the makeup mirror according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 8, the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 of the makeup mirror 8 according to the first modified example has the above-mentioned upper surface 32 and side surface 34, and an elastic body 46 is provided between this side surface 34 and the mirror door 24. In this first modified example as well, the lower end of the side surface 34 of the bottom plate 14 is a free end, and therefore the side surface 34 has a cantilever structure.

[0030] Next, a second modified example of the makeup mirror 8 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the second modified example of the makeup mirror according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 9, the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 of the makeup mirror 8 according to the second modified example has the above-mentioned top surface 32, side surface 34, and central surface 36, and an elastic body 46 is provided between the side surface 34 and the mirror door 24. In this second modified example, too, the lower end of the side surface 34 of the bottom plate 14 is a free end, and therefore the side surface 34 has a cantilever structure.

[0031] Next, a third modified example of the makeup mirror 8 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 10. FIG. 10 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the third modified example of the makeup mirror according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10, the structure of the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 of the makeup mirror 8 according to the third modified example is the same as that of the second modified example described above, and includes the top surface 32, side surfaces 34, and central surface 36 described above. An elastic body 46 is provided between the side surface 34 and the mirror door 24. In this third modified example, the lower end of the side surface 34 of the bottom plate 14 is also a free end, and therefore the side surface 34 has a cantilever structure. In particular, in the third modified example, the elastic body 46 is provided below the central position 34b (where the upper height H1 and lower height H1 are the same value) in the height direction of the side surface 34 of the bottom plate 14.

[0032] Next, the effects of the makeup mirror 8 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. First, according to the makeup mirror 8 of this embodiment, the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 has an upper surface 32 and a side surface 34 that extends downward from the front end of the upper surface 32 and whose lower end is a free end, and an elastic body 46 is provided between the mirror door 24 and the side surface 34 of the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10. Therefore, even if an impact is applied when closing the mirror door 24, in addition to the deformation of the elastic body 46, the side surface 34 of the bottom surface 14 of the housing 10 has flexibility due to its free end (cantilever shape), so that the impact acting on the mirror door 24 can be reliably absorbed.

[0033] If the horizontal lengths of the top surface and side surfaces of the bottom plate of the housing of the makeup mirror are short, there is a risk that the side surfaces of the bottom plate will undergo plastic deformation when an impact acts on the mirror door. However, according to the makeup mirror 8 of this embodiment, the cross-sectional shapes of the top surface 32 and side surfaces 34 of the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 are formed continuously along the horizontal direction, so that the rigidity of the side surfaces 34 of the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 can be ensured while maintaining the flexibility of the shape, thereby reliably absorbing impacts acting on the mirror door 24.

[0034] According to the makeup mirror 8 of this embodiment, the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 further has one or more central surfaces 36 that face the side surfaces 34 and extend downward from the top surface, and the lower ends of these central surfaces 36 are positioned lower than the lower ends of the side surfaces 34, thereby maintaining the flexibility of the side surfaces 34 of the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 while ensuring the strength of the housing 10.

[0035] According to the makeup mirror 8 of this embodiment, the elastic body 46 is provided below the center of the height of the side surface 34 of the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10, so that the load can be received near the free end of the side surface 34 of the housing 10, thereby increasing the elasticity.

[0036] If the partition were provided to divide the bottom plate in the horizontal direction, the rigidity of the side of the bottom plate would be weakened, and the side would undergo localized plastic deformation when absorbing an impact. However, according to the makeup mirror 8 of this embodiment, the partition 20 is fixed to the upper surface 32 of the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10, so the bottom plate 14 can be provided entirely or partially across the horizontal direction (width direction), and impact can be absorbed by the entire bottom plate.

[0037] According to the makeup mirror 8 of this embodiment, functional components (such as an LED lighting fixture 47) are attached to the central surface 36 of the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10, so that no other components are required to attach the functional components, and furthermore, when viewed from the front, all or part of the functional components can be concealed by the side surface 34 of the bottom plate 14.

[0038] According to the makeup mirror 8 of this embodiment, the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 further includes a first horizontal surface 38 extending horizontally from the lower part of the central surface 36 toward the rear, a first vertical surface 40 extending vertically downward from the rear of the first horizontal surface 38, a second horizontal surface 42 extending horizontally from the lower part of the first vertical surface 40 toward the rear, and a second vertical surface 44 extending vertically downward from the rear of the upper surface 32 of the bottom plate 14.Therefore, functional components such as an LED lighting fixture 47 can be mounted on the first horizontal surface 38 of the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10, and the second vertical surface 44 can further increase the rigidity of the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10.

[0039] According to the makeup mirror 8 of this embodiment, the partition 20 is a solid member and is fastened to the upper surface 32 of the bottom plate 14 with a screw 50, so that the partition 20 can be replaced simply by attaching and detaching the screw 50, improving maintainability.

[0040] Next, a makeup mirror 60 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1, 11 to 16. In the following description of the makeup mirror 60 according to the second embodiment, the same components as those in the makeup mirror 8 according to the first embodiment described above will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0041] First, the structure of the side plate 16 of the housing 10 of the makeup mirror 60 will be described with reference to Figures 11 and 12. Figure 11 is a cross-sectional perspective view of the side plate of the housing of the makeup mirror according to the second embodiment of the present invention, seen obliquely from above, and Figure 12 is a partial cross-sectional view of the side plate of the housing of the makeup mirror according to the second embodiment of the present invention, seen along line XII-XII in Figure 2.

[0042] As shown in Figures 11 and 12, an opening 16a that opens outward is formed in the side panel 16 of the housing 10, and a cover member 62 that detachably covers the opening 16a is attached to the opening 16a of the side panel 16.

[0043] Specifically, a convex portion 16b, which is an engaging portion extending in the vertical direction, is formed near the opening 16a of the side plate 16 of the housing 10. On the other hand, a concave portion 62a, which is an engaged portion extending in the vertical direction and engages with the convex portion 16b of the side plate 16, is formed on the back surface side of the cover member 62.

[0044] Next, the process of attaching the cover member 62 to the side plate 16 will be described with reference to Fig. 13. Fig. 13 is a perspective view showing how the cover member is inserted into the side plate of the housing of the makeup mirror according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 13, the cover member 62 is lowered relative to the side plate 16. At this time, the recessed portion 62a of the cover member 62 is engaged with the protruding portion 16b of the side plate 16, so the cover member 62 is positioned relative to the side plate 16 in directions other than the height direction.

[0045] Next, the end caps attached to the side plates will be described with reference to Figures 14 and 15. Figure 14 is a perspective view showing an end cap attached to the upper end of a side plate of a housing of a makeup mirror according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 15 is a perspective view showing an end cap attached to the lower end of a side plate of a housing of a makeup mirror according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] As shown in Figure 14, an end cap 64 is attached to the upper end of the side plate 16. More specifically, a screw hole 16d (see Figure 12) is formed in the side plate 16, and a screw 66 is rotated from the top surface of the end cap 64 into this screw hole 16d so that the screw 66 is threadedly engaged (screw-fastened) with the screw hole 16d of the side plate 16. The end cap 64 positions the cover member 62 on the side plate 16 in the height direction.

[0047] 15, an end cap 65 is also attached to the lower end of the side plate 16. More specifically, a screw hole (not shown) is similarly formed in the side plate 16, and a screw 66 is rotated from the underside of the end cap 65 into this screw hole so that the screw 66 is threadedly engaged (screw-fastened) with the screw hole in the side plate 16. The end cap 64 positions the cover member 62 on the side plate 16 in the height direction.

[0048] Next, a modified example of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 16. Fig. 16 is a partial cross-sectional view of the top plate (bottom plate) and side plates of the housing of the modified example of the makeup mirror of the second embodiment of the present invention, viewed from above.

[0049] 16, side plates 16 are attached to both sides of the top plate 12 (and bottom plate 14) of the housing 10. An opening 16a that opens outward is formed in the side plate 16 of the housing 10, and a cover member 63 that detachably covers the opening 16a is attached to the opening 16a of the side plate 16.

[0050] Specifically, a screw hole 16d is formed in the opening 16a of the side plate 16 of the housing 10, and a screw hole 63a is formed in the cover member 63. Screws 68 are pushed into these screw holes 63a and 16e, and the side plate 16 and the cover member 63 are screwed together and fastened together.

[0051] Next, the effects of the makeup mirror 60 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. First, according to the makeup mirror 60 of this embodiment, an opening 16a that opens outward is provided in the side panel 16 of the housing 10, and a removable cover member 62 that covers the opening 16a is attached to the opening 16a of the side panel 16.Therefore, the cover members 62, 63 are separate parts from the top panel 12, bottom panel 14, and side panel 16, which are components of the housing 10, and even if a malfunction occurs in the side panel 16 of the housing 10, maintenance can be easily performed.

[0052] Next, according to the makeup mirror 60 of this embodiment, the cover member 62 is lowered relative to the side plate 16, and the recessed portion 62a, which is the engaged portion of the cover member 62, engages with the protruding portion 16b, which is the engaging portion of the side plate 16, thereby positioning the cover member 62 relative to the side plate 16 in directions other than the height direction.Furthermore, the end caps 64, 65 position the cover member 62 relative to the side plate 16 in the height direction, so that the cover member 62 can be replaced simply by attaching and detaching the end caps 64, 65.

[0053] Next, according to the makeup mirror 60 of this embodiment, the cover member 62 is fastened to the side plate 16 by the screw 66, so that the part can be replaced simply by removing the screw 66, thereby simplifying the fixing method.

[0054] Next, a makeup mirror 80 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1, 17 to 20. In the following description of the makeup mirror 80 according to the third embodiment, the same components as those in the makeup mirror 8 according to the first embodiment and the makeup mirror 60 according to the second embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

[0055] First, the basic structure of a makeup mirror 80 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 3, 5, and 6. As described above, the makeup mirror 80 includes a housing 10, which includes a top panel 12, a bottom panel 14, side panels 16 that connect the top panel 12 and the bottom panel 14 on both sides in the height direction, and a back panel 18, forming a rectangular frame structure when viewed from the front. Here, the top panel 12 and the side panels 16 have a hollow structure.

[0056] 6, the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 has an upper surface 34 extending horizontally, side surfaces 34 extending vertically downward from the tip of the upper surface 34 and having free lower ends, a central surface 26 extending vertically downward from approximately the center in the front-to-rear direction of the lower surface of the upper surface 34, a first horizontal surface 38 extending horizontally from the middle of the lower part of the central surface 36 toward the rear, a first vertical surface 40 extending vertically downward from the rear end of the first horizontal surface 38, a second horizontal surface 42 extending horizontally rearward from the bottom end of the first vertical surface 40, and a second vertical surface 44 extending vertically downward from the rear end of the upper surface 32. In this way, the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 has a structure in which a portion thereof is open downward.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 17, in a makeup mirror 80 of the third embodiment, the bottom plate 14 of the housing 10 may be modified to have a bottom plate 82 whose cross section has a hollow structure.
