Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, the invention described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that it is necessary to always provide a space for enabling the rotation of the mirror behind the door, and when a wide mirror is installed, a storage space cannot be secured.

[0007] Furthermore, the invention described in Patent Document 2 has the problem that the width of the storage furniture increases, and that it is difficult to retrofit to existing storage furniture, and in particular it cannot be retrofitted to built-in storage furniture attached to walls.

[0008] This invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its specific objective is to provide a storage mirror for doors that can be stored inside when not in use without compromising aesthetics, can be easily positioned when in use, and can be retrofitted to existing furniture, as well as a door for storage furniture to which the mirror is attached. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The present invention was devised to achieve the above objective. More specifically, it is a storage mirror for doors to be attached to a pair of left and right doors that are provided to open and close at the front opening of a storage furniture body, and includes a rotating plate having a mirror surface that reflects the user, and a support part such as a hinge that rotatably supports the rotating plate, wherein the support part is attached to the back surface of either of the left and right doors, and the rotating plate can be positioned on the front side of the other door that does not have the support part attached when in use, and can be stored on the back side of the door to which the support part is attached when not in use.

[0010] The storage mirror for doors of the present invention can be easily placed on the front side of the door for convenience when in use, and can be stored on the back side of the door, which becomes the interior of the storage furniture, when not in use. Therefore, it does not detract from the aesthetics when installed, for example, in a shoe cabinet in the entrance hall or a closet facing the living room.

[0011] The present invention includes a configuration in which the rotating plate is integrally molded in a substantially crank shape in plan view, comprising a support plate portion for attaching the support portion to the rotating plate, a bridge plate portion that spans the thickness portion of the door, and a main plate portion to which the mirror surface is attached, and a stopper for holding the rotating plate in a stored state is disposed on the back side of the door.

[0012] The storage mirror for doors of the present invention has the advantage of being able to be retrofitted to existing storage furniture, provided that there is a space on the back side of the door of the existing storage furniture that is approximately the thickness of the door panel.

[0013] Furthermore, the present invention includes a lighting device for illuminating the user on the main body plate or the mirror surface, and a door switch for automatically turning the lighting device on and off, wherein the rotating plate is positioned on the front side of the other door that is not the door to which the support part is attached, and the door switch is pressed by the front of that door, thereby automatically turning on the lighting device.

[0014] The storage mirror for doors of the present invention has the effect of eliminating the need to manually turn on the lighting device, as the door switch is pressed by the front of the door when the rotating plate is positioned on the front of one of the doors.

[0015] Furthermore, the present invention includes a configuration in which the rotating plate comprises a fixing plate portion for fixing one end of the support portion to the back surface of the door, a framing plate portion that spans the thickness portion of the door, a main plate portion to which the mirror surface is attached, and a connecting plate portion that connects the fixing plate portion and the framing plate portion, wherein the fixing plate portion and the connecting plate portion are supported by a support portion such as a hinge, the connecting plate portion and the framing plate portion are rotatably supported by a second support portion such as a hinge, and the framing plate portion and the main plate portion are rotatably supported by a third support portion such as a hinge.

[0016] The rotating plate of the present invention has the effect of reducing storage space because, by arranging a rotatable support part such as a hinge at the part that bends when the mirror surface is installed on the front side of the door, it can be made to be in a nearly flat state when stored.

[0017] The present invention includes a door for a storage furniture that is already fitted with the aforementioned storage mirror for door installation.

[0018] The door of the storage furniture of the present invention can be replaced with the door of existing storage furniture, and a storage mirror can be used, so that the installation work is facilitated.

Effect of the Invention

[0019] The storage mirror with a door attachment of the present invention can be easily arranged on the front side of the door, which is convenient for use during use, and can be stored on the back side of the door, which becomes the inside of the storage furniture when not in use, so that the aesthetics is not impaired, and the storage space is not so large, so that it can be retrofitted to existing storage furniture.
