Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a convex mirror having a fixture, and more particularly to a convex mirror having a fixture which is to be mounted in an inclined state with respect to the wall surface without the use of protection mounting frame.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Since the convex mirror has a function of projecting a field of view at a wide angle, it is often used as a surveillance mirror for shoplifting prevention in a store such as a supermarket or a department store where many customers come and go. In this way, the convex mirror used for the monitoring mirror is attached so that the presence of the convex mirror is not noticed by the customer without causing a sense of incongruity on the wall surface, and the individuality of the mirror itself does not appear. There are many things.
[0003]
In general, a convex mirror is configured by using a transparent resin for a substrate, plating or vapor-depositing a metal foil for reflection on the back surface of the substrate, and further applying a paint on the surface of the metal foil to prevent peeling. However, since the metal foil has weak adhesive strength and is easily torn, even if a protective coating is applied, if the convex mirror is directly tightened with screws, the convex curved surface is deformed into a flat shape due to the tightening pressure. Therefore, the metal foil is easily peeled off from the substrate due to the distortion. Therefore, in general, when attaching a convex mirror to a wall or the like, a protective mounting frame is attached to the convex mirror to prevent peeling of the metal foil, and the convex mirror is not directly tightened with a screw or the like by attaching through this protective mounting frame Like that.
[0004]
However, the protective mounting frame attached to the convex mirror gives various characteristics to the convex mirror due to various shapes, patterns, colors, etc. , Will come to the drawback of significantly diminishing its monitoring function.
[0005]
Therefore, attaching the convex mirror without using the protective mounting frame and attaching the convex mirror so that the metal foil of the convex mirror does not peel off have been difficult to achieve both.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The objective of this invention is providing the convex mirror provided with the fixture which solves the subject mentioned above and enables the attachment which does not produce peeling of metal foil, without using a protective attachment frame.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention for achieving the above object is a convex mirror so as to support the forward tilt state fixture without using a protection mounting frame, engaging penetrating back and forth on the upper side than the center of gravity of the convex mirror the locking hole is provided left and right, causes suspended the convex mirror by inserting a hook for supporting each said fixture to said pair of left and right engaging holes, the convex face mirror of the fixture to the lower side than the center of gravity It is characterized in that it is abutted and supported by the support portion. Further, the present invention is a convex mirror that is supported in a forward tilted state by a fixture without using a protective mounting frame, and a locking ring fixed with a fixing rod above the center of gravity of the convex mirror. A pair of left and right are provided, and hooks for supporting the fixture are respectively inserted into the pair of left and right locking rings to suspend the convex mirror, and below the center of gravity of the convex mirror is the support portion of the fixture. The support hook is configured to be in contact with the support hook, and the support hook can be rotated in the left-right direction, and can be moved back and forth in the front-rear direction .
[0008]
Thus, on the upper side of the center of gravity of the convex mirror, a pair of left and right locking holes or locking rings are provided, and a supporting hook is inserted into the locking hole or the locking ring so that the convex mirror is suspended. Since the lower side of the center of gravity of the convex mirror is abutted and supported by the support portion, it is possible to support the tilt without distorting the convex mirror without attaching a protective mounting frame to the convex mirror. It is possible to prevent the metal foil from peeling.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
1A and 1B show an example of a convex mirror provided with the fixture of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a convex mirror, which is attached to a wall surface 3 via a fixture 2 so as to be inclined forward. As shown in FIG. 4, the convex mirror 1 has a resin plate 10 formed into a spherical shape from a transparent resin such as polycarbonate or polyacryl as a base material, and a metal foil 16 such as tin is provided on the back surface of the resin plate 10. The protective coating 17 is applied to the surface of the metal foil 16 by plating or vapor deposition.
[0010]
The convex mirror 1 is left bare without providing a protective mounting frame, and is provided so that a pair of left and right locking holes 11, 11 pass through above the center of gravity G. A rubber grommet 12 having an opening larger than the locking hole 11 is attached to each locking hole 11 on the back side of the convex mirror 1. Further, below the center of gravity G of the convex mirror 1, a hook-and-loop fastener 13 is affixed at the center in the width direction of the back surface.
[0011]
The fixture 2 is provided with a suspension hole 21 in the upper part of the rectangular substrate 20 and is suspended by inserting the suspension hole 21 into a hook 30 fixed to the wall surface 3 side. As a method of attaching the fixture 2, in addition to hanging on the hook 30 fixed to the wall surface 3 in this way, the substrate 20 and the wall surface 3 may be attached with a double-sided tape, or the substrate 20 may be screwed or the like. And may be directly fixed to the wall surface 3, and is not particularly limited.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 2, a pair of left and right support arms 22, 22 are provided on the upper side of the substrate 20 of the fixture 2, and a hook member 23 for support is fixed to each of the support arms 22 with screws 24. Yes. The hook member 23 is processed by bending a metal wire to form a closed loop hook 23a at the tip, and one of the two left and right wires extending rearward of the hook 23a is bent downward to form a stopper 23b. The two left and right wires extending rearward are fixed by screws 24 as body portions.
[0013]
The left and right hook members 23, 23 can be rotated in the left-right direction when the screw 24 is loosened, and can be advanced and retracted in the front-rear direction. By these operations, the hooks 23 a, The distance between the left and right sides 23a and the length in the front-rear direction can be adjusted. Further, by forming the hook member 23 from a metal wire, the hook 23a is made inconspicuous, and the individuality is not given to the convex mirror 1 as much as possible.
[0014]
A support portion 25 protrudes horizontally on the lower side of the substrate 20, and a hook-and-loop fastener 26 is attached to the front end of the support portion 25. The front end position of the support portion 25 is a position that is retracted rearward in the horizontal direction from the position of the hook 23a of the hook member 23 provided on the upper side. The hook-and-loop fastener 26 at the front end of the support portion 25 has a male-female relationship with the hook-and-loop fastener 13 provided on the back surface of the convex mirror 1 described above, and is detachably engaged with each other.
[0015]
That is, the hook-and-loop fasteners 13 and 26 are also commonly called “magic fasteners”, and one hook-and-loop fastener is made of a fabric in which a large number of synthetic fiber monofilaments whose ends are bent in a hook shape are planted, and the other hook-and-loop fastener Is made of a fabric in which synthetic fiber yarns are woven so as to form a number of loops, and these hooks (male) and loops (female) are engaged with each other.
[0016]
In the present invention, the surface fasteners 13 and 26 are preferably provided for stable mounting of the convex mirror, but may be omitted if necessary. Thus, when the surface fasteners 13 and 26 are omitted, the front end of the support portion 25 simply abuts and supports the back surface of the convex mirror 1.
[0017]
The convex mirror 1 having the above-described configuration can be attached to the wall surface 3 as follows by using the fixture 2 described above.
First, the attachment hole 2 of the attachment 2 is inserted and suspended on the hook 30 fixed to the wall surface 3 to attach the attachment 2. Next, the convex mirror 1 is inclined obliquely as shown by a chain line in FIG. 1A, and the upper locking holes 11 are inserted into the hooks 23 a of the fixture 2. At the time of this insertion operation, the hook 23a is not inserted into the locking hole 11 from the beginning. First, the tip of the hook 23a is inserted into the opening of the grommet 12 having a large opening area, and then slid into the locking hole 11. If it inserts like this, it can insert easily.
[0018]
When the hook 23a is inserted into the locking hole 11, the convex mirror 1 is brought into a suspended state. When the lower surface of the convex mirror 1 in the suspended state is pushed toward the wall surface 3, the surface fastener 13 on the back surface is attached and engaged with the surface fastener 26 of the support portion 25, so that the convex mirror 1 is fixed. As described above, since the hook-and-loop fastener 26 of the support portion 25 is positioned rearward in the horizontal direction with respect to the hook 23a, the convex mirror 1 is fixed in a forward inclined posture.
[0019]
3A and 3B show another embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, a locking ring 11 ′ is provided in place of the locking hole 11 of the convex mirror 1 suspended by the hook 23a illustrated in FIGS. 1 (A) and 1 (B). The locking ring 11 ′ is fixed with fixing pins 15 (fixing rods) at both ends thereof in a state where both ends of the gate-shaped metal fitting are in contact with the back surface of the convex mirror 1.
[0020]
Since the fixing pin 15 for attaching the locking ring 11 ′ is provided so as to penetrate the convex mirror 1, distortion occurs in the convex mirror 1 even if the hook 23 a is inserted and suspended in the locking ring 11 ′. And no peeling occurs on the reflective metal foil. Therefore, the same operational effects as those in the case of FIG. 1 described above can be obtained.
[0021]
According to the fixture of the present invention, since the convex mirror is attached without the protective mounting frame, individuality by the protective mounting frame is not given, and any wall surface can be harmonized. In addition, since the bare convex mirror without protective mounting frame is attached in a state where it is pulled forward from the wall surface, a light shadow is formed on the back surface of the convex mirror, and it is in a raised state, further improving the harmony with the wall surface. be able to.
[0022]
Further, the hook 23a is inserted and suspended in the locking hole 11 or the locking ring 11 'provided in the upper part of the convex mirror 1, and the lower part is merely supported by the support part 25, so that it is directly tightened with a screw. The convex mirror is not distorted unlike when it is fixed. Therefore, peeling does not occur in the reflective metal foil in the convex mirror due to the distortion.
[0023]
Moreover, about the fixture of this invention, like the embodiment illustrated in FIG.1 and FIG.2, the space | interval of both hooks 23a and 23a is made possible by moving a pair of right and left hooks 23a and 23a to the left-right direction. It becomes possible to adjust, and it is possible to attach convex mirrors of different sizes with one type of fixture 2. Further, since the length can be adjusted by making the hook member 23 movable in the front-rear direction, the tilt angle (forward tilt angle) of the convex mirror 1 can be adjusted.
[0024]
As for the hook member, if a stopper 23b that contacts the back surface of the locking hole 11 is provided on the rear side of the hook 23a as in the illustrated example, the position of the convex mirror 1 is restricted from the front and rear by the hook 23a and the stopper 23b. Therefore, the convex mirror 1 after mounting can be securely fixed, and a stable image can be displayed on the mirror surface.
[0025]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, on the upper side of the center of gravity of the convex mirror, there are provided a pair of right and left locking rings fixed by locking holes or fixing rods (pins) penetrating the convex mirror. The convex mirror is suspended by inserting a supporting hook into the retaining ring, and the lower side of the center of gravity is abutted and supported by the support portion, so even a convex mirror without a protective holding frame is distorted. Support can be performed so as not to occur, and peeling can be prevented from occurring in the reflective metal foil.
