Abstract
A mirror assembly includes a mirror and a device for preventing said mirror from being steamed up by circulating hot water through a back side of the mirror, the hot water flowing along a hot water supply tube when using hot water in a bathroom. The device has a frame for supporting the mirror at the back side of the mirror and a pipe disposed in the frame, the pipe having inlet and outlet ports connected to downstream and upstream sides, respectively of the hot-water supply tube, respectively, so that part of the hot water can be introduced into the pipe and returned to the hot water supply tube after being circulated therein.
Claims6
A mirror assembly comprising:
- a mirror;
- and
- means for preventing said mirror from being steamed up by circulating hot water through a back side of the mirror, the hot water flowing along a hot water supply tube when using hot water in a bathroom;
- wherein said means comprises:
- a frame for supporting said mirror at the back side of the mirror;
- a pipe disposed in the frame, said pipe having inlet and outlet ports connected to downstream and upstream sides, respectively of the hot-water supply tube, so that part of the hot water can be introduced into the pipe and returned to the hot water supply tube after being circulated therethrough;
- first and second connectors connected to respective upstream and downstream sides of the hot-water supply tube, each connector having a branch tube connected to said inlet port and said outlet port, respectively of said pipe;
- and
- an orifice member disposed between said first and second connectors.
A mirror assembly comprising:
- a mirror;
- and
- means for preventing said mirror from being steamed up by circulating hot water through a back side of the mirror, the hot water flowing along a hot water supply tube when using hot water in a bathroom;
- wherein said means comprises:
- a frame for supporting said mirror at the back side of the mirror;
- a lattice structure provided within the frame, the lattice structure being configured so as to define a first hot-water passage connected to a downstream side of the hot-water supply tube through an inlet port and a second hot-water passage communicating with the first hot-water passage, providing a hot-water circulation path, said second hot-water passage being connected to an upstream side of the hot-water supply tube through an outlet port;
- first and second connectors connected to respective upstream and downstream sides of the hot-water supply tube, each connector having a branch tube connected to said inlet port and said outlet port, respectively of said pipe;
- and
- an orifice member disposed between said first and second connectors.
