Abstract

PURPOSE:To conserve a cosmetic, etc., at a low temperature and, simultaneously, to save a wasteful energy consumption by adjoiningly integrating a mirror and a refrigerator and arranging a condenser for executing the radiation of the refrigerant of the refrigerator as a heater for defrosting at the back side of the mirror. CONSTITUTION:A mirror 10 and a refrigerator 11 are adjoiningly integrated, end a condenser 16 for executing the radiation of the refrigerant of the refrigerator 11 is arranged as the heater for defrosting at the back side of the mirror 10. As a result, the conservation can be executed in division into food and other articles, for example, the cosmetic and chemical, moreover, the cold drink can be taken out without taking a trouble to go to a kitchen after bathing, and further, the defrosting effect of the mirror can be exerted by utilizing the waste heat of the refrigerator.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a mirror unit that integrally incorporates a small refrigerator for storing cosmetics and the like.

(Prior Art) Some mirrors installed above vanity tables and washstands are provided with an integral box portion for storing cosmetics and medicines such as soaps, creams, and lotions.

Also, since mirrors placed above washstands tend to fog up due to steam, some mirrors are equipped with a heater on the back side.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Many cosmetics are more pleasant to use when kept cold, and chemicals are generally less likely to deteriorate if stored at low temperatures. do not have.

However, conventional box units lack consideration in this regard.

Also, for mirrors equipped with anti-fog heaters, even if you turn on the heater to remove fog, it takes time for the mirror to warm up, and it is not possible to remove fog instantly. Otherwise, you will waste power.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention integrates a refrigerator for storing cosmetics and the like adjacent to a mirror, and uses a condenser of the refrigerator as an anti-fog heater on the back side of the mirror. Arranged.

(Function) The condenser acts as a heater to release the heat of the refrigerant. Therefore, if this condenser is placed on the back of the mirror, it will have the same effect as having an anti-fog heater turned on all the time.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mirror unit according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of the mirror unit, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. This mirror unit is integrated with the wash basin 2 on the Kimino side.
It is placed above 0. The mirror 10 is attached to a washstand pole 22 equipped with a hot water mixer tap 21 of a washstand 20, and a refrigerator 11
is provided at a position corresponding to the counter 23.

Approximately half of the box-shaped body 12 of the refrigerator 11 protrudes forward from the mirror surface, and the interior of the body 12 is divided into a plurality of storage sections by shelves 13, each of which stores cosmetics, medicine, cold drinks for after a bath, etc. It is used to store underwear etc. during the summer. In addition, the front side of the door 14 is a mirror, and a small mirror 15 is rotatably attached to the back side by a hinge, and by rotating the door 14 and the small fi 15 at an appropriate angle, the small mirror 15 can be brought close to the face. The back of the head can also be seen easily.

Furthermore, a condenser 16 for dissipating heat from the refrigerant of the refrigerator 11 is installed.
, 10. The condenser 16 is a refrigerated Qll.
As long as the mirror 10 is turned on, it acts as a heat dissipation section for the refrigerant, constantly heating the mirror 10 and exhibiting an anti-fogging effect.

4 to 6 are perspective views showing another embodiment, and each mirror unit has a condenser 1 of a refrigerator 11 on the back side of a mirror 10.
6 is arranged, however, the mirror unit 1 itself does not necessarily have to be set with the wash basin 20. It should be noted that the same members as in the previous embodiment are designated by the same numbers.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the refrigerator 11 is placed behind the mirror 10, a part of the mirror 10 is made into an opening 10a, and the revolving door 14 of the refrigerator 11 is attached to this opening 10a. . The front surface of the door 14 is a mirror surface, and when the door 14 is rotated 180'' from the state shown in FIG. 4, the opening 10a also becomes a mirror, making the whole into one large mirror. A plurality of shelves 13 are provided on the back side of the loaf 14. In addition, a shelf may also be provided on the front side of the door 14. In this case, cosmetics, etc. that require refrigeration are placed on the shelf on one side, and items on the other side are placed. Place items that do not require refrigeration on the side shelf.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the shelf 13 shown in FIG.
Cut out a part of it, insert a small vertical mirror 15 into this part,
When the door 14 is open, the mirror 10 and the small mirror 15 form a three-sided mirror, and in the embodiment shown in FIG. By making the front surface of the revolving door 14 of the refrigerator 11 a mirror surface and positioning the rotation axis in front of the mirror 10, the door 14°1
4 functions as a three-way mirror when closed.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, the mirror and the refrigerator are integrated into a unit, so that food and other items such as cosmetics and medicine can be stored separately. You can also get cold drinks without having to go to the kitchen every time.
Furthermore, by placing the refrigerator condenser behind the mirror, waste heat from the refrigerator can be used to prevent fogging of the mirror, which is extremely economical.
