Description

The present invention relates to a mirror cabinet and a vanity, and more particularly, to a mirror cabinet and a vanity in which a mirror slides in a predetermined direction and moves back and forth in the front-rear direction.

  In the bathroom vanity, a single vanity mirror or the back of the vanity mirror is formed on the rear upper part of the vanity stand, independently of the vanity stand or integrated with the vanity stand. A mirror cabinet with a storage box and an integrated makeup mirror and storage box is installed.

  Since there is a wash bowl between this makeup mirror and the user standing in front of it, it is inevitable that there will be some distance. Therefore, when performing an action that requires precision, such as putting on eye shadows or shaving the eyelids, you can bend your waist over the wash bowl and cramp your posture to bring your face closer to the makeup mirror to see details. Had to take.

  In order to solve this problem, various methods for attaching a makeup mirror so as to be able to move forward and backward have been proposed. For example, there is a case in which a mirror cabinet in which a decorative mirror is pivotally supported in a single-open door type is moved forward and downward together with the box (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). In this case, however, the position of the makeup mirror is lowered when it is moved forward and downward, and it is necessary to sit down, and this mirror cabinet may be in the way, making it difficult to use the faucet on the sink. Absent. In addition, in order to open the makeup mirror in order to take out the contents stored in the box, a large arc-shaped space is required, and the user has to dodge the body. Further, in this case, when the makeup mirror is opened, the user is positioned on the back side of the makeup mirror, and there is a problem in that the user cannot be seen.

  In addition, as a solution to this problem, there is also a type in which a makeup-like box with a makeup mirror attached to the front is formed, and the makeup mirror is moved back and forth by taking in and out of the drawer-like box (for example, (See Patent Documents 3 and 4.) However, in this case, the stored items are looked out from above, which is not convenient.

  Furthermore, although only a part of the makeup mirror or only the auxiliary mirror apart from the makeup mirror has been proposed to move forward and backward (see, for example, Patent Documents 5 and 6), the part reflected in the mirror is inevitably used. It is limited and a free feeling of use cannot be obtained.

Furthermore, there has also been proposed a device in which a makeup mirror slides in the width direction and swings in the front-rear direction to open and close (see, for example, Patent Document 7). However, in this case, when there is a washbasin at the bottom, there is a problem that the user needs to avoid it and look into the mirror as if twisting the body.

As described above, according to the mirror cabinet and the vanity according to the present invention, the makeup mirror can be used close to the user side.

  In addition, according to the present invention, an effect can be obtained in which the makeup mirror can be used close to the user side, and the stored item can be easily taken out even when the makeup mirror is being used.

  An embodiment of a mirror cabinet according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an overall outline of a first embodiment of a mirror cabinet 1 according to the present invention. The mirror cabinet 1 shown in this embodiment includes a storage unit 10 that stores small items used in a bathroom and a mirror panel 20 that reflects the user and serves as a door of the storage unit 10. And a holding mechanism 40 that rotatably holds the mirror panel 20 in the storage unit 10.

  The storage unit 10 is formed as a box made up of a back plate 11 partitioned from the wall surface 3 to which the storage unit 10 is attached, a top plate 12, a bottom plate 13 and two side plates 14 and 14 surrounding the four sides. A shelf plate 15 is horizontally arranged in the middle of the inside. These constituent members are formed of a material having a certain strength such as wood, synthetic resin, or metal, and are fixed to each other with a screw or an adhesive. Alternatively, it may be formed integrally by pouring into a mold or pressing. Further, as shown in the present embodiment, the shelf board 15 may have only one stage, two or more stages, or the height may be variable.

  The mirror surface panel 20 includes a mirror 21 that reflects the appearance of the user, a frame 22 that is disposed around the back side of the mirror 21, and a defogging heater 23 that is attached to the inside of the frame 22 and prevents the mirror from fogging. A handle 26 used for opening and closing the mirror panel 20 is provided at the lower front side of the mirror, and a lighting fixture 30 for illuminating the user is provided at the upper part.

  The frame 22 prevents the mirror from being twisted and is damaged, and the mounting member on the mirror panel 20 side of the holding mechanism 40 is attached. The frame 22 is formed of a hollow or simple rod-shaped material such as wood, synthetic resin, or metal. An angle member 24 made of metal or the like is fixed to the lower portion of the frame 22, and a mirror is placed on the angle member.

  A handle 26 that is pushed and pulled by a user to open and close the mirror panel 20 is attached to the front surface of the angle member 24 at the center in the horizontal direction. The handle 26 is formed in a substantially U shape in the horizontal direction. Since this handle 26 is provided in the center, it is easy to use regardless of whether it is right-handed or left-handed. In this regard, the conventional mirror cabinet has a disadvantage that it is not easy to use for right-handed and left-handed depending on whether the door is installed on the left or right side of the front, whether it is opened right or left. there were. The handle 26 may be formed on the lower surface of the angle member 24 and is not limited to a substantially U shape.

  Moreover, the width | variety of the handle 26 should just have the width | variety which a minimum one hand can enter. On the contrary, if this width is too large, for example, if it has a length from the left end to the right end, pulling on one end of the handle 26 to open the mirror panel 20 pulls it to the holding mechanism 40 on that side. Since the force is concentrated and pulled right and left unbalanced, there is a risk that the holding mechanism 40 may be damaged or the mirror panel 20 may be twisted and damaged. Therefore, the width of the handle 26 may be such that a large hand can be gripped with a margin, preferably about 20 cm. And if it can ensure this width | variety, it does not need to be U-shaped.

  An angle member 25 made of metal or the like is also fixed to the upper part of the mirror surface panel 20, and the angle member 25 prevents the mirror from being tilted forward. The lighting fixture 30 is attached to the angle member 25. As shown in FIG. 2, the lighting fixture 30 includes a fixture main body 31 composed of a rectifier, a light source 32 that emits light, and a reflector 33 that effectively directs the emitted light toward the user. A switch (not shown) for turning on / off the lighting fixture 30 may be provided on the mirror panel 20 side or on the storage unit 10 side. In addition, although the straight tube fluorescent lamp is shown here as the light source 32, it is not restricted to this, You may employ | adopt 1 or 2 or more bulb-type fluorescent lamps, and it is good also as a structure which is not provided with the reflecting plate 33. .

  In this embodiment, as will be described later, the reflector 33 is a movable plate whose angle changes in conjunction with opening and closing of the mirror cabinet 1, and the irradiation angle and irradiation position change according to the change in the angle. It is like that. It may be a fixed type in which the angle does not change.

  By the way, the luminaire 30 of the mirror cabinet is usually fixed to the upper part of the storage unit 10. However, in the case of the present invention, when the luminaire 30 is installed in the storage unit 10, when the mirror panel 20 slides upward, the mirror panel 20 is interposed between the luminaire 30 and the user (FIG. 2). See)), and the problem is that the user is not illuminated. The present invention solves this problem by attaching the lighting fixture 30 to the mirror panel 20.

  The electric cord 34 that supplies power to the lighting device 30 is connected to the cord fixture 4 provided on the top plate 12 of the storage unit 10. When the mirror panel 20 is lowered from the fully opened state, the electric cord 34 hangs down with a normal electric wire cord and has a problem of being sandwiched between the rear surface of the mirror panel 20 and the front surface of the storage unit 10, and therefore a curl cord is used. Instead of this curled cord, a spring-like auxiliary means that bends in a substantially Z shape may be used.

  Next, details of the holding mechanism 40 that holds the mirror panel 20 with respect to the storage unit 10 so as to be openable and closable will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a view of the holding mechanism 40 when the mirror panel 20 is opened as viewed from the XX direction in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 shows the holding mechanism 40 when the mirror panel 20 is closed as shown in FIG. It is the figure seen from the X direction. FIG. 4 is a view of the holding mechanism 40 as viewed from the front, that is, from the mirror panel 20 side (the mirror panel 20 itself is not shown).

The holding mechanism 40 includes a parallel link 50 that swings while holding the mirror panel 20 vertically, and a coil spring 60 that biases or reduces the swing. The parallel link 50 needs to be strong enough to support the weight of the mirror panel 20 and is preferably made of metal.

  The parallel link 50 includes a storage unit side member 51 fixed to the storage unit 10, a pair of arm members 53 and 54 whose one ends are pivotally connected to the storage unit side member 51, and the arm members 53 and 54. It is comprised from the mirror surface panel side member 52 by which the other end is each pivoted.

  The storage portion side member 51 is a plate member having cylindrical convex portions 51a and 51a for pivotally connecting the arm members 53 and 54 at predetermined positions, and is a portion above the shelf plate 15 of the side plate 14 of the storage portion 10. It is fixed with screws. Further, the top portion is bent at a right angle so as to contact the lower surface of the top plate 12, and an attachment portion for attaching the end portion of the coil spring 60 is provided. Further, a stopper 56 for preventing the upper arm member 53 from colliding with the top plate 12 is provided on the upper portion of the portion in contact with the side plate 14.

  The mirror panel side member 52 is formed in an angle shape, and one surface thereof is fixed to the lower part of the vertical member of the frame 22 existing on the back surface of the mirror panel 20 by screws or the like. On the other surface of the angle, convex portions 52a and 52a for pivotally connecting the arm members 53 and 54 are provided at predetermined positions. This convex part 52a is also formed in a cylindrical shape.

  The upper arm member 53 on the upper side of the pair of arm members 53 and 54 is formed as a lightning-like plate material having holes 53a and 53b for pivotally connecting to the storage portion side member 51 and the mirror panel side member 52 at both ends. Is done. By forming in this way, as shown in FIG. 2, the mirror surface panel 20 can be lifted to a higher position than when formed in a straight line.

  Further, when the upper arm member 53 is formed in a flat plate, it intersects with the lower arm member 54 when closed as shown in FIG. In order to avoid this, as shown in FIG. 4, the mirror panel side member 52 is bent in a substantially Z shape in the vicinity.

  A screw hole is formed in the upper arm member 53 near the intermediate mirror panel 20, and a connecting rod 55 is inserted between the two left and right upper arm members 53, and screwed through the screw holes of the upper arm member 53. Is done. As a result, the left and right holding mechanisms 40 are linked more reliably, and the twist of the mirror panel 20 during opening and closing is reduced, so that the opening and closing can be performed more smoothly.

  The lower arm member 54 is a plate member having holes 54 a and 54 b for pivotally connecting to the storage portion side member 51 and the mirror panel side member 52 at both ends. The end portion of the storage portion side member 51 is formed wide, and an angle piece for attaching one end of the coil spring 60 is pivotally connected.

  The holes of the pair of arm members 53 and 54 are fitted into the convex portions 51a and 52a of the storage portion side member 51 and the mirror panel side member 52, and are pivotally connected. The protrusions 51a and 52a are fitted with male threads that are screwed into the cylinders after the arm members 53 and 54 are inserted, and the arm members 53 and 54 are pressed and held between the protrusions 51a and 52a and the male screws. Accordingly, the arm members 53 and 54 rotate with an appropriate frictional force with respect to the storage unit side member and the mirror panel side member 52, so that the mirror panel 20 is in an open state and is higher than the storage unit 10. Even when it is, the frictional force does not slide down to the closed state. Therefore, the user can use the mirror panel 20 while keeping the mirror panel 20 at a desired position.

  The upper and lower arm members 53 and 54 have different shapes, but their effective lengths, that is, the distance between the hole 53a and the hole 53b, and the distance between the hole 54a and the hole 54b are the same. The distance between the two convex portions 51a and 51a of the storage portion side member 51 and the distance between the two convex portions 52a and 52a of the specular panel side member 52 are also the same. Accordingly, the length is set to a parallelogram when the four connecting portions of the storage portion side member 51 and the mirror panel side member 52 and the arm members 53 and 54 are connected by a line. Thereby, even if the position of the mirror panel 20 changes, the storage unit 10 and the mirror panel 20 are kept parallel, so that the mirror panel 20 can be swung in the vertical direction while being kept perpendicular to the storage unit 10, The user can use the mirror regardless of the position of the mirror panel 20.

  One end of the coil spring 60 is fixed to a portion that contacts the lower surface of the top plate 12 of the storage portion side member 51, and the other end is an angle that is rotatably attached to the vicinity of the storage portion side member 51 of the lower arm member 54. Can be attached to a piece. As described above, the coil spring 60 is attached to the vicinity of the storage unit side member 51 of the lower arm member 54. Therefore, even when the coil spring 60 is open, the coil spring 60 does not protrude from the storage unit 10 and the aesthetic appearance is not impaired.

  Since the coil spring 60 is provided so as to hang from the lower surface of the top plate 12, as shown in FIG. 2, when the mirror panel 20 is at the highest position when fully opened, its length is the shortest. As shown in FIG. 3, when the mirror panel 20 is in the lowest position when closed, the length is the longest. That is, when fully open, the coil spring 60 is in a natural state and no urging force is applied, and when closed, the urging force that pulls the mirror panel 20 upward is maximized. In place of the coil spring 60, if it is an elastic body, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which an urging force is applied using, for example, rubber.

  A shelf plate 15 is provided horizontally at the middle height of the storage unit 10. As shown in FIG. 5, the shelf plate 15 is provided with a notch 16 on the front side of the storage unit 10 at the left and right ends thereof. Yes. The upper and lower arm members 53 and 54 of the holding mechanism 40 can pass up and down the cut 16 in the course of the rotation operation. As a result, the mirror panel 20 can be lowered until the back surface of the mirror panel 20 contacts the front surface of the storage unit 10 when closed, and the storage unit 10 can be sealed. The width and depth of the cut 16 can be minimized in accordance with the sizes of the upper and lower arm members 53 and 54. The shelf plate 15 is supported by the back plate 11 and / or the bottom plate 13, and the arm members 53 and 54 are rotated with the entire length of both ends spaced apart from the side plate 14 by a certain distance. May not be hit.

  As described above, the holding mechanism 40 is housed in the housing portion 10 and is not visible from the outside when closed, so that the aesthetic appearance is not impaired and the risk of pinching a finger is reduced.

  The mirror cabinet 1 according to the present embodiment is configured as described above, and the opening / closing operation thereof will be described below.

  First, when the mirror panel 20 in the closed state is opened, the handle 26 provided at the lower part of the mirror panel 20 is put on and pulled upward. When the coil spring 60 is closed, the coil spring 60 is in its most extended state, and its tensile force is maximum. However, the weight of the mirror panel 20, the upper and lower arm members 53 and 54, the storage unit side member 51, and the mirror panel side member 52. Due to the static frictional force of the pivotal part, it is stationary without lifting up.

  If a force is applied in the direction in which the coil spring 60 is contracted, the static friction force is changed to the dynamic friction force and the force is reduced. Then, the balance between the contraction force and the frictional force and the own weight of the coil spring 60 is broken, the contraction force of the coil spring 60 is won, and the mirror panel 20 is urged in the lifting direction. Thereby, it can lift with a small force compared with the dead weight of the mirror surface panel 20, and it does not become a burden of a user.

  Moreover, since the handle 26 is provided in the middle of the left and right, it can be used without a sense of incompatibility regardless of whether it is right-handed or left-handed. For this purpose, it is also conceivable that the handle 26 has a full length of the mirror panel 20. However, in this case, if the handle 26 is lifted by holding one of the left and right ends, a torsional moment is applied to the surface of the mirror panel 20 and a large stress may be generated in the frame 22. Further, there is a possibility that the movement between the gripped end side parallel link 50 and the opposite side parallel link 50 is shifted, and the opening and closing cannot be performed smoothly. Therefore, it is important that the length of the handle 26 be limited to a width that can be grasped with one hand, and it is preferable that the length of the handle 26 be approximately 20 cm, although it depends on the size of the mirror panel 20.

  Thus, when the mirror panel 20 reaches a desired position, the mirror panel 20 can be stopped at that position by stopping the movement of the hand. At this position, since the length of the coil spring 60 is shorter than that at the time of closing, the contraction force is weaker than that at the time of closing, and the static friction force is won. Thereby, the user can use the mirror panel 20 at a desired position in a desired position based on the height and distance of each person, and brings the face closer to the makeup mirror without bending the waist to see details. be able to. Further, in this state, that is, in a state where one's own image is reflected on the mirror, the stored items stored in the storage unit 10 can be easily put in and out.

  When the mirror panel 20 is further lifted and the upper arm member 53 comes into contact with the stopper 56, the mirror panel 20 is fully opened, and the upper arm member 53 does not collide with the top 10 of the storage unit 10 and be damaged.

  Thus, when the mirror panel 20 is in the open state, the static frictional force of the pivotal portion between the arm members 53 and 54, the storage portion side member 51, and the mirror panel side member 52 resists the weight of the mirror panel 20. Stationed. If a force is applied to the grip 26 provided at the lower part of the mirror surface panel 20 and pushed downward, the static friction force is changed to the dynamic friction force and the force is reduced. Move down. Since this movement is reduced by the contraction force of the coil spring 60, the mirror panel 20 moves downward rather than rapidly, and it is not necessary to apply a large force. Particularly, in the closed position, the contraction force of the coil spring 60 becomes maximum, so that the mirror cabinet 1 is quietly closed without abutting against the storage unit 10 and slowly contacting.

  Next, the movement of the reflector 33 configured to be movable in the present embodiment of the lighting fixture 30 interlocked with the opening / closing of the mirror cabinet 1 will be described. FIG. 6 shows the positional relationship between opening and closing of the mirror cabinet 1, that is, the vertical movement of the mirror panel 20 and the user of the mirror panel 20.

  When the mirror panel 20 is in the closed state ((A) in FIG. 6), since there is a certain distance between the mirror panel 20 and the user, the lighting fixture 30 also needs to irradiate the front to some extent. On the other hand, when the mirror panel 20 is in the fully open state ((b) in FIG. 6), the user is positioned below rather than the front of the lighting fixture 30, and therefore illuminates the lower part. There is a need. And when it exists in the middle (for example, (c) in Drawing 6) between a closed state and a full open state, it is desirable also efficiently that the middle of the front and the lower part can be irradiated.

  Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, the position of a part of the reflector 33 is configured to change the angle in conjunction with the position of the mirror panel 20. That is, when the mirror panel 20 is in the closed state ((A) in FIG. 6), the reflector 33 is configured to open forward and close downward as the mirror panel 20 opens. In this configuration, for example, the arm members 53 and 54 of the holding mechanism 40 and the reflection plate 33 may be mechanically connected using a wire, a pulley, or the like, or may be electromagnetically movable. There may be. Thereby, the user can receive illumination in an optimal state.

  In the present embodiment, the method of changing the angle of the front surface of the reflecting plate 33 has been described as a method of changing the irradiation angle. However, as shown in FIG. 7, the entire arc-shaped reflecting plate 33 is used to move the mirror panel 20. You may make it rotate in conjunction.

  As described above, when the lighting fixture 30 is installed on the rotating mirror panel 20, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the mirror panel 20 is provided on the upper surface of the storage unit 10 in the fully opened state compared to the closed state. The distance between the cord fixing tool 4 and the lighting fixture 30 is increased. Therefore, it is necessary for the length of the electric wire cord 34 to secure a distance between the lighting fixture 30 and the cord fixture 4 at the time of full opening.

  However, when the mirror panel 20 is lowered from the fully opened position, the normal electric wire cord sags and hangs down, and is sandwiched between the rear surface of the mirror panel 20 and the front surface of the storage unit 10. It is also envisaged that the panel 20 will not close completely.

  Therefore, it is desirable that the electric wire cord 34 can be expanded and contracted. For example, it is conceivable to use a curled cord. Alternatively, it is also possible to interpose a spring-like auxiliary means that bends in a substantially Z shape or an automatic winding reel in the middle.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the mirror panel 20 is opened upward has been described as an example. However, the mirror panel 20 may be configured to open to the right side or the left side.

  Subsequently, a modification of the first embodiment will be described. The mirror cabinet 1A according to this modification basically differs from that in the first embodiment in that the holding mechanism 40 is surrounded by a storage box 61 as shown in FIG. This is substantially the same as in the first embodiment, and the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted.

  When the holding mechanism 40 is exposed as in the mirror cabinet 1 according to the first embodiment, an object stored in the lower stage of the storage unit 10 at the time of opening falls to the parallel link 50 side of the holding mechanism 40 due to some impact. Then, the lower arm member 54 may not be lowered due to the obstruction and the mirror panel 20 cannot be closed. In this case, it is necessary to reach out from the gap opened between the mirror panel 20 and the storage unit 10 to remove the stored item.

  On the other hand, when the upper storage item of the storage unit 10 falls to the parallel link 50 side of the holding mechanism 40 due to some impact and is sandwiched between the upper arm member 53 and the top plate 12 of the storage unit 10 when closed. It is also expected that the mirror panel 20 cannot be opened due to an obstacle. In this case, it is difficult to remove the obstacle because it cannot be put in.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, a storage box 61 surrounding the holding mechanism 40 is installed. The storage box 61 is formed in a substantially L shape including a front surface and a side surface, and a long slit 62 is provided on the front surface. The front surface and the side surface have a height from the bottom surface of the top plate 12 to the top surface of the bottom plate 13 so as not to cause a gap, and are in contact with the side plate 14 and the back plate 11 of the storage unit 10, respectively. The storage box 61 is desirably detachably fixed, for example, by screwing from the side surface or the upper and lower surfaces of the storage unit 10 for inspection and repair of the holding mechanism 40.

  Upper and lower arm members 53 and 54 protrude from a slit 62 provided on the front surface of the storage box 61 so that the parallel link 50 can be moved up and down. The slit 62 only needs to have a minimum gap that allows the arm members 53 and 54 to move up and down. Therefore, instead of the linear slit 62 as shown in this modification, it is also possible to make the slit 62 having a wide width only in the portion where the bent portion near the pivot point of the upper arm member 53 passes.

  Finally, an embodiment of a vanity according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 9 is a side view showing an outline of an example of the bathroom vanity 2 according to the present invention.

  The bathroom vanity 2 includes a bathroom bowl 71 for washing hands and face, a water discharge means 72 for supplying water to the bathroom bowl 71, and a drainage means 73 for draining from the bathroom bowl 71, and an upper rear part of the bathroom table 70. And a wall cabinet (top bag) 80 mounted on the mirror cabinet 1B.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the mirror cabinet 1B according to the present embodiment is the first embodiment in that the mirror panel 20 is divided into an upper fixed portion 20a and a lower movable portion 20b. The other configurations are basically the same as those in the first embodiment, and are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  When the wall cabinet 80 protruding forward is provided on the mirror cabinet as in the case of the present embodiment, the wall cabinet 80 becomes an obstacle in the configuration in which the entire mirror cabinet is covered with one mirror panel 20. The mirror panel 20 can hardly be lifted or cannot be lifted to a sufficient height. Therefore, the user cannot bring his face close to the makeup mirror in order to see details, and the rear surface of the mirror panel 20 cannot be used as the storage unit 10.

  Therefore, the mirror cabinet 1B according to the present embodiment divides the mirror panel 20 into upper and lower parts, and only the lower mirror panel 20 is movable like the mirror panel 20 according to the first embodiment. Is a fixed solution to solve this problem.

  In this case, since the height of the mirror is about half that of the first embodiment, there is a possibility that the mirror will be cut off in the middle of the face depending on the height of the user when closed. Still, the absolute height of the mirror of the movable portion 20b is sufficient, and if the mirror is stopped at a position that matches the height by moving the lower half movable portion 20b up and down, such a state will not occur. .

  In addition, the upper half fixed portion 20a can be rotated downward, as opposed to the lower half movable portion 20b, or can be pivotally supported on the side plate 14 of the mirror cabinet as is normally performed or A double-sided mirror panel can also be used. In this case, the upper half of the mirror cabinet 1B can also be used as a storage unit.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, although the example which installed the lighting fixture 30 in the upper half fixed part of the mirror surface panel 20 is shown, it installs in the front part of the wall cabinet 80 bottom, and the fixed part 20b of the lower half of the mirror surface panel 20 It is also possible to do. Thereby, it is also possible to reduce the area where the illumination is blocked by the movable part 20b of the mirror panel 20.

  The embodiments described above are for illustrative purposes and do not limit the scope of the invention. Accordingly, those skilled in the art can employ embodiments in which each or all of these elements are replaced by equivalents thereof, and these embodiments are also included in the scope of the present invention. For example, it is also included in the scope of the present invention to configure as a makeup mirror that does not have a storage portion on the back surface of the mirror panel.
