In some embodiments, the mirror 30 may further include a lighting device 40, control units 50 and latching devices 60. The lighting device 40, the control units 50 and the latching devices 60 may all be formed on the front frame 31. The lighting device 40 is used for illumination in dark. The control units 50 are used for controlling power switches of the lighting device 40. The latching devices 60 act with the locking protrusion 141, forming detachable connection with the cover 10.
As shown in
The second mounting holes 313 includes six circular through holes, evenly formed on two lateral sides of the mirror body 33 three in a line and parallel to corresponding third sidewall 14, for mounting the lighting device 40. The lighting device 40 includes six emitting bodies, two groups of lampshades 41, and two fixing frames 42 for fixing the emitting bodies, ensuring using of the case in dark. The emitting body can be ordinary incandescent bulbs, LEDs, and etc., for providing sufficient intensity illumination. Each three emitting bodies of the six emitting bodies are a group and connected in serious. The two groups of emitting bodies are respectively mounted on the two fixing frames 42, and connect to the power source. Each group of lampshades 41 includes three lampshades 41 corresponding to each group of emitting bodies. Each group of lampshades 41 is connected to a corresponding fixing frame 42, covering the corresponding emitting bodies. The lighting device 40 is mounted onto corresponding second mounting holes 313 from the inner side of the first substrate 311 after being assembled. Several of the first latching holes 3111 are formed adjacent to the second mounting holes 313. The fixing frames 42 define second connecting holes 421 corresponding to the several first latching holes 3111, thereby fixing devices, such as screws, connecting the fixing frames 42 onto the front frame 31. It should be understood that numbers, positions of the emitting bodies can be changed according to practical applications.
The third mounting holes 314 are two in number, and are defined in two opposite sides of the first substrate 311 which define the second mounting holes 313, for mounting the control units 50. Each control unit 50 includes a switch button 51, power switch, a first fixing member 52, and power wires. The switch button 51 is mounted to the third mounting hole 314 from the inner side of the first substrate 311, and exposed to an outer side of the first substrate 311. Several of the first latching holes 3111 are formed adjacent to the third mounting holes 314 corresponding to the first fixing members 52. The first fixing members 52 define third connecting holes 521 corresponding to the several first latching holes 3111 adjacent to the third mounting holes 314. The power switch is arranged between the switch button 51 and the first fixing member 52, and is fixed by fixing devices, such as screws. The power switch is connected to the power wires, thereby controlling supply of electric power of the power source to the lighting device 40.
The fourth mounting holes 315 include two waist-shaped through holes defined in the first substrate 311 corresponding to the locking protrusions 141, for mounting the latching devices 60. The latching devices 60 are mounted in the fourth mounting holes 315 and act with the locking protrusions 141, thereby forming detachable connection of the mirror 30. Each latching device 60 includes a latching member 61 and a second fixing member 62. The latching member 61 is mounted in the fourth mounting hole 315 from the inner side of the front frame 31. The latching member 61 can be made of plastic or metal with sufficient strength and lifespan. Several of the first latching holes 3111 are formed adjacent to the fourth mounting holes 315, corresponding to the second fixing members 62. The second fixing members 62 define fourth connecting holes 621 corresponding to the several first latching holes 3111 adjacent to the fourth mounting holes 315, fixing the latching members 61 in the fourth mounting holes 315 by fixing devices, such as screws, and ensuring that the latching members 61 are moveable along the waist-shaped fourth mounting holes 315. The latching member 61 includes an operation part 611 and a latching part 612. The operation part 611 and the latching part 612 are formed at opposite ends of the latching member 61. The operation part 611 is a protrusion extending through the fourth mounting hole 315 and exposed to the outer side of the first substrate 311. The latching part 612 is a right angled hook extending towards the rear frame 32, acting with the locking protrusion 141 of the cover 10. The latching member 61 moves between a first side 3151 and a second side 3152 of the fourth mounting hole 315 by operating the operation part 611, and thus makes the latching part 612 move to engage with or disengage from the locking protrusion 141.
