[0016]

[Embodiment of device]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the vehicle interior rearview mirror of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inside of the recess 3 is formed so that no gap is formed between the mirror 6 and the bottom surface 8 of the recess 3 of the mirror frame 2. The spacer 10 having the rib portion 9 is fitted into the.

In the present invention, since the rib portion 9 and the spacer 10 are interposed between the mirror 6 and the bottom surface 8 of the concave portion 3 of the mirror frame 2 as described above, as shown in FIG. The mirror 6 will not be deformed even when an impact is applied to 2a, and since the impact is transmitted to the permanent room mirror 1 via the spacer 10 and the rib portion 9, the permanent mirror 6 is broken before the mirror 6 is broken. The dropout mechanism or the displacement mechanism of the rearview mirror 1 can be effectively operated.

The rib portion 9 may have a horizontal rib shape instead of a vertical rib shape.

4 and 5 show another embodiment of the present invention in which a convex portion 7 ′ is formed on a part of the mirror attachment surface 7 of the mirror frame 2, and in this embodiment, Instead of the spacer 10, there is used a spacer 12 having a hole portion 11 which fits into the convex portion 7 ′ of the mirror attaching surface 7 and which is spread over the entire surface of the mirror attaching surface 7 of the mirror frame 2.

In this embodiment of the present invention, even if the mirror attachment surface 7 has a concave and convex mirror frame 2, it is possible to eliminate the gap contacting the mirror 6 by interposing the spacer 12, so that it is possible to avoid a collision. The deformation of the mirror 6 can be prevented.

FIG. 6 shows still another embodiment of the present invention in which the grid-like ribs 13 are formed on the back surface of the spacer 10.

The ribs may have a honeycomb shape.

FIG. 7 shows still another embodiment of the present invention in which the rib portion 9 is attached to the bottom surface 8 of the concave portion 3 of the mirror frame 2.

8 and 9 show another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the rib portion 9 is not used, and the step portion 3'is provided at the edge portion of the concave portion 3 of the mirror frame 2, A hard plate spacer 10 'is fitted into this step 3'.

In this embodiment of the present invention, since a hard spacer 10 'is used, even if a shock is applied to the mirror portion 2a, it is received by the spacer 10' and the mirror 6 is deformed as shown in FIG. In addition, since the impact is transmitted to the permanent room mirror 1 through the spacer 10 'and the stepped portion 3', the dropping mechanism or the displacement mechanism of the permanent room mirror 1 can be effectively performed before the mirror 6 is broken. It can be activated.

Instead of using the hard spacer 10 'as shown in FIG. 10, a thick spacer 10 "may be used.

FIG. 11 shows still another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the permanent room mirror holding part 4, its biasing member 5 and the rib part 9 are attached to the box 14, and this box 14 is described above. The rear surface of the mirror 6 is attached with screws 16 or the like to the rear surface of the mirror frame 15 having a size and shape that match the entire back surface of the mirror 6.

In this embodiment, since the permanent room mirror holding part 4 and its biasing member 5 are incorporated in the rear surface of the mirror frame 15, when the mirror 6 is attached to the mirror attaching surface 7 of the mirror frame 15. The spacers 10 and 12 can be omitted.

Note that, in FIG. 12, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the mirror holding portion 4 and its biasing member 5 are attached to the rear surface of the mirror frame 15 instead of being provided in the box 14, and these are attached by a cover 17. You may make it attach with the cover screw 16.

When the mirror 6 is curved in each of the above embodiments, the spacers 10 and 12 or the mirror frames 2 and 15 can be curved.

[Effect of device]

 According to the alternative vehicle rearview mirror of the present invention, even if a shock is applied to the mirror, the mirror is not broken and the permanent rearview mirror is removed or displaced together with the safety, and the mounting of the permanent rearview mirror on the rear surface of the mirror frame. By incorporating it, the degree of freedom in designing the vehicle replacement room mirror is increased, and there is a great advantage that the permanent room mirror mounting part can be shared.
