Description

Technical Field

[0001] Aspects of the present invention generally relate to an attachment structure for a washbasin mirror.

Background Art

[0002] There is known a mirror attachment structure that aims to improve the design by concealing fixtures and the like so that they are not visible to the user. For example, in Patent Document 1, a hook is provided on the mounting surface, and a hook receiver is provided on the back surface of the mirror, and the mirror is attached to the mounting surface by locking the hook and the hook receiver. As a result, in the state where the mirror is attached, the hook and the hook receiver can be concealed by the mirror.

[0003] However, if an attachment structure that only locks as described above is used for a washbasin mirror installed in a washroom space, when cleaning the washbasin mirror, the washbasin mirror may move with respect to the mounting surface, leading to a decrease in cleaning performance. In a washbasin mirror, the surface of the washbasin mirror may be soiled due to splashing water caused by the washing action, and the frequency of surface cleaning is also relatively high. Therefore, in a washbasin mirror, it is required to appropriately fix the washbasin mirror so that the movement of the washbasin mirror during cleaning can be suppressed, and high cleaning performance can be obtained.

[0004] On the other hand, in order to suppress a decrease in design while being able to appropriately fix the washbasin mirror, if fixtures and the like are simply arranged in a position where they are difficult to visually recognize, it becomes difficult to secure a working space for fingers and tools with respect to the fixtures, which may lead to a decrease in workability.

[0005] Therefore, in the attachment structure of a washbasin mirror, it is desired to be able to appropriately fix the washbasin mirror while obtaining high design and workability.

Patent Document 1

[0007] This invention was made based on the recognition of the above problems, and aims to provide a mounting structure for a bathroom mirror that allows the bathroom mirror to be properly fixed while achieving high design quality and ease of installation. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The first invention is a mounting structure for a bathroom mirror for mounting a bathroom mirror to a mounting surface, comprising: a frame having a pair of side plates; a bathroom mirror provided in front of the frame; a mirror body covering the sides of the space between the bathroom mirror and the mounting surface with the pair of side plates; a first receiver attached to the mounting surface; a second receiver attached to the mounting surface so as to be located below the first receiver; a first mounting device provided on the back of the mirror body and engaging with the first receiver in the vertical direction; and the first mounting device on the back of the mirror body The mounting structure for a bathroom mirror is characterized by comprising: a second mounting bracket provided below the first support and placed on the second support, with the engagement of the first support and the first mounting bracket restricting the mirror body from tilting forward; and a fixing member attached from below to the second support and the second mounting bracket placed on the second support, for fixing the second mounting bracket to the second support, wherein when the second mounting bracket is placed on the second support, the front end of the second support is located behind the bathroom mirror.

[0009] According to this bathroom mirror mounting structure, the mirror body can be temporarily fixed by engaging the first receiver and the first mounting bracket while moving the mirror body vertically relative to the mounting surface, thereby restricting the mirror body from tilting forward, and then placing the second mounting bracket on top of the second receiver. In this case, by making the direction of movement of the mirror body vertical, the mirror body can be properly installed even in bathrooms with narrow widths in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, by attaching the fixing member to the second receiver and the second mounting bracket from below, the fixing member can be attached while properly securing working space for fingers and tools below the mirror body. When the second mounting bracket is placed on top of the second receiver, the front end of the second receiver is positioned behind the bathroom mirror, making the second receiver difficult to see for the user, thus achieving a high level of aesthetic appeal. Therefore, it is possible to provide a bathroom mirror mounting structure that allows for proper fixing of the bathroom mirror while achieving high aesthetic appeal and ease of installation.

[0010] The second invention is a bathroom mirror mounting structure characterized in that, in the first invention, the second mounting fixture is provided above the lower end of the bathroom mirror, and when the second mounting fixture is placed on the second support, the lower end of the second support is located above the lower end of the bathroom mirror.

[0011] According to this bathroom mirror mounting structure, when the second mounting bracket is placed on the second support bracket, the lower end of the second support bracket is positioned above the lower end of the bathroom mirror. This makes the second support bracket less visible to the user and others, resulting in a higher level of aesthetic appeal.

[0012] The third invention is a bathroom mirror mounting structure characterized in that, in the first or second invention, the width in the left-right direction of one of the first receiver and the first mounting fixture is wider than the width in the left-right direction of the other of the first receiver and the first mounting fixture.

[0013] According to this bathroom mirror mounting structure, by making the width of one of the first support bracket and the first mounting bracket in the left-right direction wider than the width of the other in the left-right direction, the forward tilting of the mirror body can be restricted over a wide range in the left-right direction. Therefore, when temporarily fixing the mirror body to the mounting surface, the left-right position adjustment of the first support bracket and the first mounting bracket can be easily made, further improving ease of installation.

[0014] The fourth invention is a bathroom mirror mounting structure characterized in that, in any one of the first to third inventions, the first receiving member opens upward and the first mounting member engages with the first receiving member from above.

[0015] This bathroom mirror mounting structure allows the mirror body to be installed from above relative to the mounting surface, further improving ease of installation.

[0016] The fifth invention is a bathroom mirror mounting structure characterized in that, in any one of the first to fourth inventions, when the second mounting bracket is placed on the second receiving bracket, a vertical gap is provided between the first mounting bracket and the first receiving bracket.

[0017] This bathroom mirror mounting structure prevents the first mounting bracket from contacting the first receiver and prevents a gap from forming between the second receiver and the second mounting bracket. Therefore, the bathroom mirror can be fixed more securely. In addition, by providing a gap between the first mounting bracket and the first receiver, the frictional resistance between the first mounting bracket and the first receiver can be reduced. For example, after placing the second mounting bracket on the second receiver, it becomes easier to adjust the position of the mirror body in the left-right direction. Furthermore, by providing a gap between the first mounting bracket and the first receiver, for example, if multiple first receivers and first mounting brackets are provided, the gap can absorb positional errors in the height direction of the multiple members. [Effects of the Invention]

[0018] According to an aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a mounting structure for a washbasin mirror that can appropriately fix the washbasin mirror while achieving high design quality and workability.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same reference numerals are given to the same components, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted as appropriate. Figs. 1(a) and 1(b) are front views and side views schematically showing a washbasin dressing table according to an embodiment. As shown in Figs. 1(a) and 1(b), the washbasin dressing table 2 includes a support base 3, a washbasin 4, a faucet device 5, and a mirror device 10. The washbasin dressing table 2 is installed in a wash space such as a washroom and is used in a state of being attached to a predetermined attachment surface WS in the wash space.

[0021] Hereinafter, in the present specification, the direction in which the attachment surface WS faces is defined as "front", and the opposite direction is defined as "rear". Also, based on the state of facing the front, the right side, left side, upper side, and lower side are defined as "right side", "left side", "upper side", and "lower side", respectively.

[0022] The support base 3 supports the washbasin 4. The support base 3 is, for example, a floor cabinet. In this example, the support base 3 is a drawer-type cabinet. The support base 3 may also be, for example, a double-door cabinet. The support base 3 can have any configuration that is capable of supporting the washbasin 4. Furthermore, the support base 3 may be omitted, for example, when the washbasin 4 is directly attached to the mounting surface WS.

[0023] The washbasin 4 is mounted on a support base 3. The washbasin 4 has a concave wash bowl 4a that is recessed downwards. The wash bowl 4a receives water discharged from the faucet device 5.

[0024] The faucet device 5 is installed on the washbasin 4. The faucet device 5 may be installed, for example, inside the washbasin 4, or it may be attached to the mounting surface WS. The faucet device 5 has a spout 5a and an operating unit 5b. The spout 5a discharges water toward the washbasin 4a. The operating unit 5b adjusts the flow rate and temperature of the water discharged from the spout 5a. In this example, the operating unit 5b is a lever handle. The operating unit 5b is not limited to this, and may be a rotary handle or the like. The operating unit 5b only needs to be able to adjust the flow rate.

[0025] The mirror device 10 is installed above the washbasin 4 and the faucet device 5. The mirror device 10 is attached to the mounting surface WS. The mirror device 10 has a washbasin mirror 16. The washbasin mirror 16 is, for example, a single, roughly rectangular flat plate. In other words, the washbasin mirror 16 is a single-sided mirror.

[0026] Thus, the mirror device 10 positions the washbasin 4 and the faucet device 5 above the washbasin mirror 16. This allows the user to check their face and hair while performing wash-up activities such as washing hands or face. The washbasin mirror 16 is attached to the mounting surface WS by the mirror device 10. In other words, the mirror device 10 provides a mounting structure for attaching the washbasin mirror 16 to the mounting surface WS.

[0027] Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view showing a mirror device according to an embodiment. Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the upper section of the mirror device according to the embodiment. Figure 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the lower section of the mirror device according to the embodiment. As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the mirror device 10 (bathroom mirror mounting structure) comprises a mirror body 12, a first support 21, a second support 22, a first mounting fixture 31, a second mounting fixture 32, and a fixing member 35.

[0028] The mirror body 12 comprises a frame 14 and a washbasin mirror 16. The frame 14 has a pair of side plates 40. The washbasin mirror 16 is installed in front of the frame 14. In other words, the washbasin mirror 16 is installed at the front end of each side plate 40. The frame 14 is attached to the mounting surface WS with the rear ends of each side plate 40 close to the mounting surface WS. Therefore, the washbasin mirror 16 is attached to the mounting surface WS with a distance from the mounting surface WS equal to the distance of each side plate 40. The mirror body 12 covers the sides of the space SP that is created between the washbasin mirror 16 and the mounting surface WS with the pair of side plates 40. This prevents the back of the washbasin mirror 16 and the space SP from being visible from the side when it is attached to the mounting surface WS.

[0029] The frame 14 further includes, for example, reinforcing members 42 and 43. The reinforcing members 42 and 43 extend in the left-right direction and connect each side plate 40. Reinforcing member 42 is provided near the upper end of each side plate 40. Reinforcing member 43 is provided near the lower end of each side plate 40. As a result, each reinforcing member 42 and 43 together with each side plate 40 forms a rectangular frame and reinforces the frame 14. However, the reinforcing members 42 and 43 are provided as needed and can be omitted. Also, each reinforcing member 42 and 43 is provided near the front end of each side plate 40. In other words, each reinforcing member 42 and 43 is provided close to the back of the washbasin mirror 16.

[0030] The mirror body 12 further includes, for example, mirror support parts 44 and 45. The mirror support part 44 engages with the upper end of the bathroom mirror 16. The mirror support part 44 is attached to the reinforcing member 42, for example, by screwing it in. The mirror support part 45 engages with the lower end of the bathroom mirror 16. The mirror support part 45 is attached to the reinforcing member 43, for example, by screwing it in. In this way, the bathroom mirror 16 is attached to the front of the frame 14 via the mirror support parts 44 and 45, with its upper and lower ends supported by the mirror support parts 44 and 45. This allows the bathroom mirror 16 to be attached to the front of the frame 14 while suppressing the exposure of fasteners such as screws. However, the method of attaching the bathroom mirror 16 to the frame 14 is not limited to the above and may be any method.

[0031] The mirror body 12 further includes, for example, a lighting unit 50, a reflector 52, and a cover 54. The frame 14 is open at the top. The lighting unit 50 is provided in the space SP between the washbasin mirror 16 and the mounting surface WS. In other words, the lighting unit 50 is provided inside the frame 14. The lighting unit 50 irradiates light (visible light) toward the opening at the top of the frame 14.

[0032] The reflector 52 is provided on the upper part of the frame 14. The reflector 52 extends upward from the upper rear end of the frame 14 and also extends forward. The reflector 52 reflects the light emitted upward from the lighting unit 50 toward the front and downward. As a result, the light emitted from the lighting unit 50 and reflected by the reflector 52 can illuminate the surface of the washbasin mirror 16 and the user's face.

[0033] The cover 54 is provided on the upper part of the frame 14 and closes the opening at the top of the frame 14. The cover 54 is light-transmitting to light emitted from the illumination unit 50. The cover 54 is, for example, a transparent flat plate. This allows the light emitted from the illumination unit 50 to be directed towards the reflector 52 while preventing dust and other debris from entering the frame 14 through the opening at the top of the frame 14.

[0034] The configuration of the lighting unit 50 and other components is not limited to the above. For example, the lighting unit 50 may be placed on the frame 14 and directed to illuminate the front of the bathroom mirror 16. The configuration of the lighting unit 50 can be any configuration that is capable of illuminating the front of the bathroom mirror 16. In addition, the lighting unit 50, reflector 52, and cover 54 can be provided as needed and can be omitted.

[0035] The first mounting bracket 21 is attached to the mounting surface WS. The first mounting bracket 21 is attached to the mounting surface WS, for example, by screwing it in. The method of attaching the first mounting bracket 21 to the mounting surface WS is not limited to screwing it in; any method that allows the first mounting bracket 21 to be properly attached is acceptable.

[0036] The first support member 21 includes, for example, a fixing portion 21a that is fixed to the mounting surface WS by screws or the like, a first extending portion 21b that extends forward from the upper end of the fixing portion 21a, and a second extending portion 21c that extends upward from the front end of the first extending portion 21b. The first support member 21 is, for example, a flat plate bent in a crank shape.

[0037] Thus, the first receiving member 21 opens upward, allowing engagement from above. The configuration of the first receiving member 21 is not limited to the above, and may be any configuration that opens upward and allows engagement from above. Conversely, the first receiving member 21 may also be configured to open downward, allowing engagement from below.

[0038] The mirror device 10 includes, for example, a plurality of first receivers 21 arranged side by side in the left-right direction. In this example, the mirror device 10 includes two first receivers 21. However, the number of first receivers 21 is not limited to two; it may be one or three or more. The number of first receivers 21 can be any number.

[0039] The second support bracket 22 is attached to the mounting surface WS so as to be positioned lower than the first support bracket 21. The second support bracket 22 is attached to the mounting surface WS by, for example, screws. The method of attaching the second support bracket 22 to the mounting surface WS is not limited to screws, and any method that can properly attach the second support bracket 22 is acceptable.

[0040] The mirror device 10 includes, for example, a plurality of second receivers 22 arranged side by side in the left-right direction. In this example, the mirror device 10 includes two second receivers 22. However, the number of second receivers 22 is not limited to two; it may be one or three or more. The number of second receivers 22 can be any number.

[0041] The first mounting bracket 31 is provided on the back of the mirror body 12. The first mounting bracket 31 may also be provided on the back of the frame 14 or on the back of the bathroom mirror 16. The first mounting bracket 31 engages with the first receiving bracket 21 in the vertical direction. In this example, the first receiving bracket 21 is open upward. Therefore, the first mounting bracket 31 engages with the first receiving bracket 21 from above. For example, if the first receiving bracket 21 is open downward, the first mounting bracket 31 engages with the first receiving bracket 21 from below.

[0042] The first mounting bracket 31 extends, for example, in the left-right direction and connects a pair of side plates 40. The first mounting bracket 31 is, for example, a horizontal bar. This also allows the first mounting bracket 31 to increase the strength of the frame 14. In other words, the first mounting bracket 31 can also function as a reinforcing material.

[0043] The front-to-back width of the first mounting bracket 31 is, for example, narrower than the front-to-back width of the first extension portion 21b of the first receiving bracket 21. This allows the first mounting bracket 31 to be engaged with the first receiving bracket 21 from above.

[0044] Furthermore, the width W2 of the first mounting bracket 31 in the left-right direction is wider than the width W1 of the first receiving bracket 21 in the left-right direction. The first mounting bracket 31 engages with each of the two first receiving brackets 21 which are arranged side by side in the left-right direction.

[0045] The configurations of the first receiver 21 and the first mounting bracket 31 are not limited to those described above, and may be any configuration that allows them to engage with each other. For example, conversely to the above, the width W1 of the first receiver 21 in the left-right direction may be wider than the width W2 of the first mounting bracket 31 in the left-right direction.

[0046] The second mounting bracket 32 ​​is provided on the back of the mirror body 12 below the first mounting bracket 31, and is placed on the second support bracket 22 with the engagement of the first support bracket 21 and the first mounting bracket 31 preventing the mirror body 12 from tilting forward. In this example, the second mounting bracket 32 ​​is placed on each of the two second support brackets 22 that are provided side by side in the left-right direction. The second mounting bracket 32 ​​may be provided on the back of the frame 14 or on the back of the bathroom mirror 16.

[0047] When the second mounting bracket 32 ​​is placed on the second receiving bracket 22, a vertical gap GP (see Figure 3) is provided between the first mounting bracket 31 and the first receiving bracket 21. In this example, the first mounting bracket 31 engages with the first receiving bracket 21 from above. Therefore, in this example, the gap GP is provided between the first mounting bracket 31 and the first receiving bracket 21 when the first mounting bracket 31 is positioned above the first receiving bracket 21. Conversely, when the first mounting bracket 31 engages with the first receiving bracket 21 from below, the gap GP is provided between the first mounting bracket 31 and the first receiving bracket 21 when the first mounting bracket 31 is positioned below the first receiving bracket 21.

[0048] When the second mounting bracket 32 ​​is placed on the second support bracket 22, the front end 22f of the second support bracket 22 is located behind the washbasin mirror 16.

[0049] The second mounting bracket 32 ​​is positioned above the lower end 16b of the bathroom mirror 16. When the second mounting bracket 32 ​​is placed on the second support bracket 22, the lower end 22b of the second support bracket 22 is positioned above the lower end 16b of the bathroom mirror 16.

[0050] The second support 22 and the second mounting bracket 32 ​​are, for example, flat plates bent into a roughly L-shape in cross-section. The second mounting bracket 32 ​​is attached to the reinforcing member 43, for example, by screwing it in. The second mounting bracket 32 ​​also extends in the left-right direction and covers the lower part of the space SP that is created between the washbasin mirror 16 and the mounting surface WS. In other words, the second mounting bracket 32 ​​also functions as the bottom plate of the frame 14. This prevents the back of the washbasin mirror 16 and the space SP from being visible from below when it is attached to the mounting surface WS. The configuration of the second support 22 and the second mounting bracket 32 ​​is not limited to the above, and any configuration is acceptable in which the second mounting bracket 32 ​​can be placed on top of the second support 22.

[0051] The mirror body 12 further includes a switch 56 for, for example, switching the lighting unit 50 on and off. The switch 56 is attached to the bottom surface of a second mounting fixture 32, which is provided above the lower end 16b of the washbasin mirror 16. The lower end of the switch 56 is located above the lower end of the frame 14. This prevents the switch 56 from being exposed to the front. This improves the aesthetic design of the mirror device 10. Also, even if the switch 56 is located on the bottom side of the frame 14, it is possible to prevent the switch 56 from being subjected to impact during transportation or installation of the mirror device 10.

[0052] The fixing member 35 is attached from below to the second receiver 22 and the second mounting bracket 32 ​​placed on the second receiver 22, fixing the second mounting bracket 32 ​​to the second receiver 22. The fixing member 35 is, for example, a male screw. The second receiver 22 is provided with, for example, a through hole for inserting the fixing member 35. The second mounting bracket 32 ​​is provided with, for example, a female screw that engages with the fixing member 35. This allows the fixing member 35 to fix the second mounting bracket 32 ​​to the second receiver 22. For example, the second mounting bracket 32 ​​can be completely restrained against the second receiver 22. The fixing member 35 is not limited to a male screw, and may be any member capable of fixing the second mounting bracket 32 ​​to the second receiver 22.

[0053] Figures 5(a) to 5(c) are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating the installation process according to the embodiment. As shown in Figure 5(a), when installing the mirror device 10, first the first support 21 and the second support 22 are attached to predetermined positions on the mounting surface WS.

[0054] Next, as shown in Figures 5(a) to 5(c), the mirror body 12 is moved vertically to engage the first receiver 21 and the first mounting bracket 31, and the second mounting bracket 32 ​​is placed on top of the second receiver 22, thereby temporarily fixing the mirror body 12 in a state where it is prevented from tilting forward. In this example, the mirror body 12 is moved from top to bottom to engage the first receiver 21 and the first mounting bracket 31, and the second mounting bracket 32 ​​is placed on top of the second receiver 22.

[0055] In this way, by making the movement direction of the mirror body 12 vertical, the mirror body 12 can be properly installed even in a narrow bathroom space with a width in the left-right direction where walls are close to both sides of the mirror body 12.

[0056] As shown in Figure 5(c), after temporarily fixing the mirror body 12, the fixing member 35 is attached to the second receiver 22 and the second mounting bracket 32 ​​from below, thereby fixing the second mounting bracket 32 ​​to the second receiver 22. In other words, the mirror body 12 is permanently fixed. This attaches the mirror body 12 to the mounting surface WS. In other words, the bathroom mirror 16 is attached to the mounting surface WS.

[0057] As described above, according to the mounting structure of the mirror device 10 and its washbasin mirror 16 according to this embodiment, the mirror body 12 can be temporarily fixed by engaging the first receiver 21 and the first mounting bracket 31 while moving the mirror body 12 in the vertical direction relative to the mounting surface WS, thereby restricting the mirror body 12 from tilting forward, and then placing the second mounting bracket 32 ​​on the second receiver 22. In this case, by setting the direction of movement of the mirror body 12 to the vertical direction, the mirror body 12 can be properly installed even in washrooms with narrow widths in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, by attaching the fixing member 35 to the second receiver 22 and the second mounting bracket 32 ​​from below, the fixing member 35 can be attached while appropriately securing working space for fingers and tools below the mirror body 12. Furthermore, when the second mounting bracket 32 ​​is placed on the second support bracket 22, the front end 22f of the second support bracket 22 is positioned behind the bathroom mirror 16, making it difficult for the user to see the second support bracket 22, thus achieving a high level of aesthetic appeal. Therefore, it is possible to provide a mounting structure for a bathroom mirror 16 that allows for proper fixing of the bathroom mirror 16 while achieving high aesthetic appeal and ease of installation.

[0058] Furthermore, in the mirror device 10, when the second mounting bracket 32 ​​is placed on the second support bracket 22, the lower end 22b of the second support bracket 22 is positioned above the lower end 16b of the washbasin mirror 16. This makes the second support bracket 22 less visible to the user and others, thus achieving a higher level of aesthetic appeal. In addition, the visibility of fixing members 35 and other components attached to the second support bracket 22 from below can also be more effectively suppressed.

[0059] Furthermore, in the mirror device 10, by making the width of one of the first support 21 and the first mounting bracket 31 in the left-right direction wider than the width of the other in the left-right direction, the forward tilting of the mirror body 12 can be restricted over a wide range in the left-right direction. Therefore, when temporarily fixing the mirror body 12 to the mounting surface WS, the left-right position adjustment of the first support 21 and the first mounting bracket 31 can be easily made, further improving workability.

[0060] Furthermore, in the mirror device 10, the first receiving member 21 opens upward, and the first mounting member 31 engages with the first receiving member 21 from above. This allows the mirror body 12 to be attached to the mounting surface WS from above, further improving ease of installation.

[0061] Furthermore, in the mirror device 10, when the second mounting bracket 32 ​​is placed on the second support bracket 22, a vertical gap GP is provided between the first mounting bracket 31 and the first support bracket 21. This prevents the first mounting bracket 31 from coming into contact with the first support bracket 21 and prevents a gap from forming between the second support bracket 22 and the second mounting bracket 32. Therefore, the bathroom mirror 16 can be fixed more appropriately. In addition, by providing a gap GP between the first mounting bracket 31 and the first support bracket 21, the frictional resistance between the first mounting bracket 31 and the first support bracket 21 can be reduced. For example, after placing the second mounting bracket 32 ​​on the second support bracket 22, it becomes easier to adjust the position of the mirror body 12 in the left-right direction. Moreover, by providing a gap GP between the first mounting bracket 31 and the first support bracket 21, for example, when multiple first support brackets 21 and first mounting brackets 31 are provided, the positional error in the height direction of the multiple members can be absorbed by the gap GP.

[0062] Figure 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a modified example of the mirror device according to the embodiment. For components that are substantially the same in function and configuration as those in the above embodiments, the same reference numerals are used, and detailed explanations are omitted. As shown in Figure 6, the second mounting bracket 32 ​​may be attached to the frame 14 such that the bottom surface of the second mounting bracket 32 ​​is approximately flush with the lower end of the frame 14 (side plate 40). The lower end 22b of the second support bracket 22 may be located slightly below the lower end 16b of the washbasin mirror 16.
