Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toilet mirror device for a bathroom which takes measures against fogging. <P>SOLUTION: The toilet mirror device for bathrooms includes a plate shaped hot water panel (2) mounted on a wall of a bathroom and a toilet mirror (4) arranged on the hot water panel. One end of the hot water channel (7) of the hot water panel (2) is connected to a pipe (8) for hot water supply, and the other end of the hot water channel is connected to a bathtub pipe (9). During the use of the shower, the toilet mirror (4) is warmed with hot water supplied from a hot water supplying device. By this structure, even if a large quantity of steam evaporates when bathing or taking a shower, fogging of the toilet mirror is reduced as the temperature of the toilet mirror rises considerably. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

The present invention relates to a makeup mirror apparatus for a bathroom, and more particularly to a makeup mirror apparatus that effectively prevents a mirror surface from being fogged by steam.
The present invention also relates to a hot water panel having a mirror surface.

  In the bathroom, steam is filled during bathing, the mirror surface of the makeup mirror becomes cloudy, and the bather's body cannot be projected on the makeup mirror. Has been. A hot water supply device in which a hot water supply pipe is arranged in an inner space of a panel that holds a makeup mirror is known as a makeup mirror with a countermeasure against fogging of the makeup mirror (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this known hot water supply apparatus, a hot water supply pipe is installed on the back side of the cosmetic mirror so as to be separated from the cosmetic mirror, and the cosmetic mirror is heated using heat radiation from the hot water supply pipe.

JP-A-5-95844

  In the hot water supply apparatus described above, the hot water supply pipe is disposed on the back side of the makeup mirror in the vicinity of the makeup mirror. . However, since the hot water supply pipe is physically separated from the makeup mirror, the heat dissipation from the hot water supply pipe is not effectively transmitted to the makeup mirror, and the makeup mirror has a drawback that it is difficult to raise the temperature. Moreover, since the hot water supply pipe is a pipe having a circular cross section, there is a limit to contact with the makeup mirror, and it is the actual situation that a sufficient effect cannot be obtained in preventing the condensation of the makeup mirror.

An object of the present invention is to provide a makeup mirror device that eliminates the above-described drawbacks and effectively prevents condensation and fogging of the makeup mirror in the bathroom.
Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide a hot water panel with a mirror.

A makeup mirror device according to the present invention is a makeup mirror device disposed in a bathroom, comprising a plate-shaped hot water panel installed on a bathroom wall, and a makeup mirror disposed on the hot water panel,
One end of the hot water channel of the hot water panel is connected to a hot water supply pipe, and the other end is connected to a bathtub pipe. The hot water supplied from the hot water supply device is used by the hot water supplied during use of the shower or while hot water is stored in the bathtub. It is characterized by being heated.

  The biggest cause of the makeup mirror in the bathroom being fogged is that the makeup mirror is fogged due to condensation because the temperature of the makeup mirror is lower than the temperature of the steam. Therefore, in the present invention, the makeup mirror is supported on the warm water panel, and the makeup mirror is heated using heat from the warm water panel. In the present invention, one end of the hot water channel of the hot water panel is connected to the hot water supply pipe, and the other end is connected to the bathtub pipe. If constituted in this way, hot water supplied from the hot water supply pipe is discharged into the bathtub or discharged from the shower through the hot water panel, so that hot water is stored in the bathtub or during use of the shower from the hot water supply pipe. The makeup mirror is heated by the supplied hot water. As a result, at the time of bathing, the makeup mirror is heated to the temperature of the hot water, and the problem that the makeup mirror becomes cloudy is eliminated even if a large amount of steam is generated from the shower or the steam generated from the bathtub is filled.

    The hot water panel according to the present invention is a plate-shaped hot water panel, and includes a plate body having a substantially flat first surface and a second surface facing the first surface, and the first surface of the plate body. Is provided with a makeup mirror, and a hot water channel is formed on the second surface.

  According to the present invention, since the makeup mirror is heated by the warm water supplied from the hot water supply pipe while hot water is stored in the bathtub or during use of the shower, the makeup mirror can be used even if a large amount of steam is generated in the bathroom. Problems that cause dew condensation on the surface are prevented.

  1 and 2 are views showing an example of a makeup mirror device and a hot water panel according to the present invention, FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view, and FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state of being attached to a bathroom wall. It is. A hot water panel 2 is attached to the wall 1 in the bathroom. The hot water panel 2 has a panel body 3, the front surface 3 a of the panel body 3 is formed as a substantially flat surface, and a makeup mirror 4 is attached to the front surface 3 a. The makeup mirror 4 is held on the panel body 3 by two holding members 5a and 5b. Note that a silicon-based adhesive is interposed between the makeup mirror 4 and the panel body so that the heat of the panel body is conducted to the makeup mirror 4. A heat insulating material 6 is interposed between the panel body 3 and the bathroom wall 1 to prevent the heat of the hot water panel from being dissipated to the bathroom wall.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the hot water panel, FIG. 3A is a plan view of the back side of the hot water panel, and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view of the hot water panel. A hot water channel 7 is formed on the back surface 3 b of the panel body 3. One end of the hot water channel 7 is connected to the hot water supply pipe 8, and the discharge side is connected to the bathtub pipe 9. The hot water channel 7 of the hot water panel 2 extends in a zigzag shape along the back surface of the panel body 3. Therefore, when hot water is stored in the bathtub or when the bather uses the shower, the hot water supplied from the hot water supply pipe circulates through the hot water passage 7 of the hot water panel 2 and is discharged from the bathtub or the shower through the bathtub. And while hot water circulates through the hot water channel 7, the heat of the hot water is conducted to the makeup mirror 4 through the panel body 3, the makeup mirror 4 is heated, and the temperature of the makeup mirror is raised to the temperature in the bathroom or higher. become. As a result, even if steam is filled in the bathroom, the makeup mirror has a temperature almost equal to or higher than the temperature of the steam, so that the problem of dew condensation on the makeup mirror is eliminated. In particular, the hot water supply raises the temperature of the makeup mirror while hot water is stored in the bathtub, so that the makeup mirror is prevented from being fogged even when the steam in the bathtub fills the bathroom during bathing. Furthermore, since the piping to the hot water panel is located on the back side of the makeup mirror and is not visible to the bather, the bathroom wall can be prevented from becoming complicated.

It is a perspective view which shows an example of the makeup mirror apparatus by this invention. It is a diagrammatic sectional view showing a wearing state of a hot water panel and a makeup mirror. It is a figure which shows the warm water channel of a warm water panel.
