Why is a mirror installed in the elevator? 80% don't know why

For many high-rise buildings in the city, the elevator has become a tool for many people to take when going downstairs, and many elevators in high-end residential areas will be equipped with a mirror. Do you know why? Why is a mirror installed in the elevator?

The richness of the elevator shows whether the hotel is a three-star or a five-star hotel. I don't know if you've ever met some elevators with mirrors. Although it's said that the space in the elevators has expanded a little, there are many other reasons. Why do some elevators have mirrors and some don't?

The elevator should be equipped with mirrors, which can let some people who care about the appearance and make-up look at their own appearance and clothing.

Some netizens think that having a mirror can not only expand the sense of space in a narrow elevator, but also let some people who care about their appearance and make-up look at their own appearance and clothing, and can also prevent crime and sexual harassment. But the real earliest reason is not these, so what is it? It can be seen from the elevators set up by Japanese enterprises such as Fuji, Mitsubishi and Hitachi, which account for more than half of the market share, There is a mirror inside the elevator. Even the inner wall of the elevator was originally made like a mirror. It should have something to do with the earliest Japanese elevators.

The elevator should be equipped with mirrors, which are mainly used to help special groups. It is the duty of the public transportation authorities to set up mirrors in elevators, especially in some public buildings. The reason for the setting is' to assist the wheelchair user to confirm the access and position of the elevator when entering and leaving the elevator '. Yes, it wasn't for us to look in the mirror and tidy up our instruments at first, nor to guard against the spooks. The mirror was mainly to help special groups. This standard was set by the Japanese Elevator Association in 1975. Although there was no strict limit on the size and height of the mirror at that time, it was clearly pointed out that when the wheelchair user enters the elevator, he may not be able to turn around, so it is necessary to judge his moving position and the time to get off the elevator through the mirror. After that, the government made strict rules and restrictions: 'the mirror set on the front wall of the elevator entrance is used to confirm the condition of the entrance and exit, which is set at no less than 40cm from the wall root, and the height is at least 150cm. '

The reason for the mirror setting of the elevator entrance is' to assist the wheelchair user to confirm the entrance and exit and position of the elevator when entering and leaving the elevator '.

In the market survey of 800 people, only 19.6% knew the reason, 20.6% thought it was to prevent crime, and the rest was to look in the mirror and tidy up their instruments. However, 36.5% did not know at all. It seems that although most people don't know the real reason, they don't dislike it after having a mirror, and they find some other benefits. In fact, it's also very good.
