【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、車両用サンバイザーに付設されるカバー付きバニティミラーの開閉構造に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種の車両用サンバイザーに付設されたバニティミラーのカバーの開閉構造としては、例えば図６に示すものが知られている。このバニティミラー１はミラー２をはめ込み固定する合成樹脂製のミラー枠体３とこのミラー枠体３の前面を開閉するカバー４と、同カバー４を開閉保持するための金属製の板ばね５とより構成され、このミラー枠体３の上部側（図示左方）にはカバー４の作動基部４ａと板ばね５を納める空間部６が形成され、この空間部６の左右にはカバー４の作動基部４ａを回動可能に支持する支持部３ａが設けられて、カバー４は同支持部３ａ間に取付けられている。
【０００３】
このカバー４はミラー枠体３の前面側を遮蔽可能な平板状に形成され、その基部には作動基部４ａが形成されている。この作動基部４ａの左右には支持部３ａに回動可能に支承されるカバーピン７が突設され、同作動基部４ａの長手方向には所定の角度で一方に開保持面８ａと他方に閉保持面８ｂを有する断面略山形状の凸部８が形成されている。また、板ばね５は略Ｖ字形状に形成されて空間部６に納められて、カバー４を上方（図示左方）へ回動すると凸部８の開保持面８ａが板ばね５の片５ａに当接されその弾性により上部保持され、また、閉じ状態で閉保持面８ｂが片５ａに当接されて閉じ方向へ回動保持するように設けられている。なお、図６（ａ）が閉じ状態、（ｂ）が半開き（中間）状態、（ｃ）が開状態である。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、この従来のバニティミラーの構成においてはカバー４を開状態と閉状態とに保持する板ばね５の製造工程が必要であり、また、板ばね５の組付け工程を必要とするため、部品点数が増すとともに、製作工数が増すことから生産性が悪いという問題点があった。
本発明は、上記従来の問題点を解決するためになされたもので、ミラー枠体とカバーとの組付け構造において、その構造形状によりカバーを開状態と閉状態とに位置保持できて、部品点数を減らし、製作工数を削減することのできるカバー付きバニティミラーの開閉構造を提供することを目的とするものである。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この課題を解決するために、特許請求の範囲の各請求項に記載したとおりのカバー付きバニティミラーの開閉構造を創作した。
【０００６】
したがって、ミラーの開時にはカバー部材に形成された当接片の当接面が開保持面に近接し、ミラーの閉時にはその当接面が閉保持面に近接する構成とされているので、カバー部材を開状態または閉状態に位置保持できる。そして、ミラーが半開き（中間）状態にあるときには、ミラー枠体に形成されたコーナー部が前記当接面に当接して当接片を撓ませる結果、その当接片の弾性力によりカバー部材を所定の方向に回動させることが可能となる。
【０００７】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
図１はカバー付きバニティミラーを開状態にした斜視図、図２は閉状態での正面図、図３はカバー部材を取外した状態の斜視図、図４はカバー部材連結部を拡大して示す分解斜視図である。図１〜図４に示すように、カバー付きバニティミラー１１は従来と同様に合成樹脂材を主体に形成され、大別すると、ミラー１２と、ミラー枠体１３と、カバー部材１４とよりなる。
【０００８】
前記ミラー枠体１３は略方形状に形成されるとともに、同ミラー枠体１３にはミラー１２をはめ込み可能とする略額縁状のはめ込み枠１３ａが一体に形成されて、そこにミラー１２がはめ込み固定されたものである。また、前記カバー部材１４はミラー１２をはめ込んだはめ込み枠１３ａの前面を遮蔽可能な略方形平板状に形成され、次述する連結部を介してミラー枠体１３に開閉動可能な状態で連結されるようになっている。
【０００９】
次に、ミラー枠体１３とカバー部材１４とを連結する連結部について説明する。カバー部材１４の基端側となる縁部の左右両側位置にはアーム１５がカバー部材１４の裏面から所定の角度傾斜した状態に突出形成され、それらのアーム１５の先端部にはカバー部材１４に対して平行かつ左右方向に延びる軸部１６が外向きに設けられている。さらに、カバー部材１４の基端側縁部の左右両側位置には軸部１６と略直角に伸びる切欠溝１４ａにより細幅の片持ち梁状の当接片１４ｂが形成されており、この当接片１４ｂはカバー部材１４の面外方向へ弾性変位したときにばね作用を発揮できるように適宜な曲げ剛性に設定されている。
【００１０】
他方、ミラー枠体１３には上縁部１３ｂの左右両側位置にカバー部材１４のアーム１５を回動自在に収容できる取付凹部１７が設けられ、この取付凹部１７の側壁部１８にカバー部材１４の軸部１６を上縁部１３ｂと平行かつ回動自在に支承する軸受部、具体的には図示形状の受け溝１８ａが形成されている。なお、図中、１８ｂは受け溝１８ａの正面入口を軸部１６をはめ込むときに一旦開かせてワンタッチで取付け可能にするためのスリットである。
【００１１】
そして、ミラー枠体１３には、本例では側壁部１８に隣接する取付凹部１７の上側位置に、詳しくは次述するが、受け溝１８ａに軸部１６をはめ込んだカバー部材１４が閉状態にあるときに当接片１４ｂを近接させるためのミラー面に略平行な閉保持面１９ａと、開状態にあるときに当接片１４ｂを近接させるためのミラー面に略直交する開保持面１９ｂとを有する凸部１９が設けてあり、この凸部１９には閉保持面１９ａと開保持面１９ｂとにより軸部１６の軸線（左右）方向に延びるコーナー部１９ｃが形成されている。
【００１２】
図５に示すように、アーム１５は当接片１４ｂの基端部近傍から当接面１４ｃに対して鋭角をなすように延びていて、軸部１６から当接面１４ｃに垂線（図示省略）を下ろして考えると、カバー部材１４が閉状態に近いときにはコーナー部１９ｃと当接面１４ｃが垂線の足より当接片１４ｂの先端側で接触する一方、開状態に近いときにはその接触位置（接点）が垂線の足より当接片１４ｂの基端側に位置するようになっている。
なお図５において、カバー付きバニティミラー１１のカバー部材１４がミラー１２を遮蔽する閉状態にあるときが（ａ）に、半開き（中間）状態が（ｂ）に、開状態が（ｃ）に示されている。
【００１３】
次に、カバー付きバニティミラー１１の開閉構造の作用について図５を参照して説明する。
すなわち、同図（ａ）に示すように、カバー部材１４が閉状態にあるときは、ミラー枠体１３側の閉保持面１９ａとカバー部材１４側の当接片１４ｂの当接面１４ｃとが近接しており、カバー部材１４はその閉状態を維持している。
一方、同図（ｃ）に示すように、カバー部材１４が上方に回動した開状態にあるときは、当接片１４ｂはミラー枠体１３側の開保持面１９ｂと近接しており、カバー部材１４はその閉状態を維持している。
【００１４】
そして、同図（ｂ）に示すように、半開き（中間）状態にあるときには、ミラー枠体１３側のコーナー部１９ｃが当接面１４ｃを押して当接片１４ｂを撓ませており、カバー部材１４の開き角度に応じてコーナー部１９ｃの当接位置が相対的に移動する。この結果、カバー部材１４には、所定の開き角度（中立位置）の前後で、当接片１４ｂの弾性力による軸部１６回りのトルクの方向が切り替わるように作用する。
【００１５】
今、カバー部材１４を同図（ａ）から（ｂ）に回動させると当接片１４ｂの弾性力によりカバー部材１４を閉じさせようとする力がかかる。さらに回動させると当接片１４ｂが撓んだ状態のままでコーナー部１９ｃに対して滑り、中立位置を過ぎると今度はカバー部材１４を開かせようとする力に切り替わる。そして、カバー部材１４は同図（ｃ）に示す状態まで軽く回動し、同時に当接片１４ｂは弾性復元している。
なお、この状態からカバー部材１４を閉じる場合については上記とほぼ同様であるので説明を省略する。
【００１６】
すなわち、ミラー枠体１３とカバー部材１４の間には、図４に示すようにカバー部材１４をミラー枠体１３に対して開閉動可能に連結する連結部と、カバー部材１４を所定の方向に付勢する当接片１４ｂと凸部１９とを有しており、連結部は、カバー部材１４からミラー枠体１３に向けて突出形成されミラー枠体１３に回動自在に支持されるアーム１５を有している。そして当接片１４ｂは、カバー部材１４のアーム１５の近傍にて片持ち梁状に形成された弾性変位可能な構成になっており、凸部１９は、ミラー枠体１３に形成されており、カバー部材１４を開状態にしたときに凸部１９が当接片１４ｂとアーム１５との間に位置する構成になっている（図５参照）。
凸部１９は、図５に示すようにカバー部材１４を開状態にしたときに当接片１４ｂの当接面１４ｃが近接する開保持面１９ｂと、カバー部材１４を閉状態にしたときに当接面１４ｃが近接する閉保持面１９ａと、開閉の中間状態にあるときに当接面１４ｃに当接して当接片１４ｂを撓ませる開保持面１９ｂ及び閉保持面１９ａに隣接するコーナー部１９ｃとを有し、凸部１９が中間状態において当接片１４ｂとアーム１５との間に位置してコーナー部１９ｃによって当接片１４ｂを弾性的に変形させ、その弾性力にてカバー部材１４を所定の方向に回動させ得るように構成している。
したがって上記の開閉構造においては、従来のように板ばねを使用せずとも、半開き状態のカバー部材１４を開き方向または閉じ方向に回動させた後保持することができる。また、連結部の構成が比較的簡素でカバー部材１４の取付けがワンタッチ式にできる。
【００１７】
なお、上述の実施形態とは逆に、ミラー枠体１３に当接片を設け、カバー部材１４に閉保持面と開保持面とコーナー部とを設けるようにすることもできる。
すなわちミラー枠体とカバー部材の間には、カバー部材をミラー枠体に対して開閉動可能に連結する連結部と、カバー部材を所定の方向に付勢する当接片と凸部とを有しており、連結部は、カバー部材からミラー枠体に向けて突出形成されミラー枠体に回動自在に支持されるアームを有している。そして凸部は、カバー部材のアームの近傍にて形成されており、当接片は、ミラー枠体に片持ち梁状に形成された弾性変位可能な構成になっており、カバー部材を開状態にしたときに当接片がアームと凸部との間に位置する構成になっている。
凸部は、カバー部材を開状態にしたときに当接片の当接面が近接する開保持面と、カバー部材を閉状態にしたときに当接面が近接する閉保持面と、開閉の中間状態にあるときに当接面に当接して当接片を撓ませる開保持面及び閉保持面に隣接するコーナー部とを有し、弾性片が中間状態において凸部とアームとの間に位置して凸部のコーナー部にて弾性的に変形され、その弾性力にてカバー部材を所定の方向に回動させ得るように構成している。
【００１８】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明のカバー付きバニティミラーの開閉構造は、従来の板ばねを省略できて部品点数を削減することができるとともに、部品管理工数および製作工数を低減することのできて生産能率を向上することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an opening / closing structure for a vanity mirror with a cover attached to a vehicle sun visor.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as an opening / closing structure of a vanity mirror cover attached to this type of vehicle sun visor, for example, the structure shown in FIG. 6 is known. The vanity mirror 1 includes a synthetic resin mirror frame 3 for fitting and fixing the mirror 2, a cover 4 for opening and closing the front surface of the mirror frame 3, and a metal leaf spring 5 for opening and closing the cover 4. A space 6 is formed on the upper side (left side in the drawing) of the mirror frame 3 to accommodate the operating base 4a of the cover 4 and the leaf spring 5. The operation of the cover 4 is provided on the left and right of the space 6. A support portion 3a that rotatably supports the base portion 4a is provided, and the cover 4 is attached between the support portions 3a.
[0003]
This cover 4 is formed in a flat plate shape that can shield the front side of the mirror frame 3, and an operating base 4a is formed at the base thereof. Cover pins 7 are rotatably provided on the left and right sides of the operating base 4a so as to be rotatably supported by the support 3a. The operating base 4a has a predetermined angle in the longitudinal direction and an open holding surface 8a on one side and a closed side on the other. A convex portion 8 having a substantially mountain-shaped cross section having a holding surface 8b is formed. Further, the leaf spring 5 is formed in a substantially V shape and is housed in the space portion 6, and when the cover 4 is rotated upward (leftward in the drawing), the open holding surface 8 a of the convex portion 8 becomes the piece 5 a of the leaf spring 5. The closed holding surface 8b is provided in contact with the piece 5a so as to be rotated and held in the closing direction in the closed state. 6A shows a closed state, FIG. 6B shows a half-open (intermediate) state, and FIG. 6C shows an open state.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in this conventional vanity mirror configuration, a manufacturing process of the leaf spring 5 that holds the cover 4 in the open state and the closed state is required, and an assembly process of the leaf spring 5 is required. As the number of points increases, the production man-hours increase, resulting in a problem of poor productivity.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described conventional problems, and in the assembly structure of the mirror frame and the cover, the cover can be held in an open state and a closed state by the structural shape, and the parts An object of the present invention is to provide an open / close structure for a vanity mirror with a cover that can reduce the number of points and the number of manufacturing steps.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve this problem, an open / close structure of a vanity mirror with a cover as described in each claim of the claims was created.
[0006]
Therefore, when the mirror is opened, the contact surface of the contact piece formed on the cover member is close to the open holding surface, and when the mirror is closed, the contact surface is close to the closed holding surface. The member can be held in an open state or a closed state. When the mirror is in a half-open (intermediate) state, the corner portion formed in the mirror frame abuts against the abutment surface and bends the abutment piece. As a result, the cover member is moved by the elastic force of the abutment piece. It can be rotated in a predetermined direction.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view in which a vanity mirror with a cover is in an open state, FIG. 2 is a front view in a closed state, FIG. 3 is a perspective view in a state in which a cover member is removed, and FIG. It is a disassembled perspective view. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the vanity mirror 11 with a cover is formed mainly of a synthetic resin material as in the prior art, and roughly comprises a mirror 12, a mirror frame 13, and a cover member 14.
[0008]
The mirror frame 13 is formed in a substantially square shape, and a substantially frame-like fitting frame 13a that allows the mirror 12 to be fitted is integrally formed on the mirror frame 13, and the mirror 12 is fitted and fixed therein. It has been done. The cover member 14 is formed in a substantially rectangular flat plate shape capable of shielding the front surface of the fitting frame 13a in which the mirror 12 is fitted, and is connected to the mirror frame body 13 in a state where the cover member 14 can be opened and closed through a connecting portion described below. It has become so.
[0009]
Next, the connection part which connects the mirror frame 13 and the cover member 14 is demonstrated. Arms 15 are formed so as to project at a predetermined angle from the back surface of the cover member 14 at the left and right side positions of the edge portion which is the base end side of the cover member 14, and the cover member 14 is formed at the distal end of these arms 15. On the other hand, a shaft portion 16 extending in the left and right direction is provided outward. Further, a narrow cantilevered contact piece 14b is formed by a notch groove 14a extending substantially perpendicular to the shaft portion 16 at both the left and right side positions of the base end side edge portion of the cover member 14. The piece 14b is set to an appropriate bending rigidity so as to exert a spring action when elastically displaced in the out-of-plane direction of the cover member 14.
[0010]
On the other hand, the mirror frame 13 is provided with mounting recesses 17 that can rotatably accommodate the arms 15 of the cover member 14 at both the left and right positions of the upper edge portion 13b. A bearing portion for supporting the shaft portion 16 so as to be rotatable and parallel to the upper edge portion 13b, specifically, a receiving groove 18a having a shape shown in the figure is formed. In the figure, reference numeral 18b denotes a slit for opening the front entrance of the receiving groove 18a once when the shaft portion 16 is fitted, so that it can be attached with one touch.
[0011]
In the present embodiment, the cover member 14 in which the shaft portion 16 is fitted in the receiving groove 18a is closed, as will be described in detail below in the upper position of the mounting recess 17 adjacent to the side wall portion 18 in this example. A closed holding surface 19a that is substantially parallel to the mirror surface for bringing the contact piece 14b close at a time, and an open holding surface 19b that is substantially orthogonal to the mirror surface for bringing the contact piece 14b close to the contact piece 14b when in an open state. The convex portion 19 is formed with a corner portion 19c extending in the axis (left-right) direction of the shaft portion 16 by the closed holding surface 19a and the open holding surface 19b.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 5, the arm 15 extends from the vicinity of the base end portion of the contact piece 14b so as to form an acute angle with the contact surface 14c, and is perpendicular to the contact surface 14c from the shaft portion 16 (not shown). When the cover member 14 is close to the closed state, the corner portion 19c and the contact surface 14c are in contact with the tip side of the contact piece 14b from the perpendicular foot, whereas when the cover member 14 is close to the open state, the contact position (contact point) ) Is positioned on the base end side of the abutting piece 14b from the leg of the perpendicular line.
In FIG. 5, when the cover member 14 of the vanity mirror 11 with cover is in a closed state where the mirror 12 is shielded, (a) shows a half-open (intermediate) state, and (b) shows an open state. Has been.
[0013]
Next, the operation of the opening / closing structure of the vanity mirror 11 with cover will be described with reference to FIG.
That is, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the cover member 14 is in the closed state, the closed holding surface 19a on the mirror frame 13 side and the contact surface 14c of the contact piece 14b on the cover member 14 side are in contact with each other. They are close to each other, and the cover member 14 maintains its closed state.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6C, when the cover member 14 is in the open state in which it is rotated upward, the contact piece 14b is close to the open holding surface 19b on the mirror frame 13 side, The member 14 maintains its closed state.
[0014]
Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, when in the half-open (intermediate) state, the corner 19c on the mirror frame 13 side pushes the contact surface 14c to bend the contact piece 14b, and the cover member 14 The contact position of the corner portion 19c relatively moves according to the opening angle. As a result, the cover member 14 acts so that the direction of the torque around the shaft portion 16 due to the elastic force of the contact piece 14b is switched before and after a predetermined opening angle (neutral position).
[0015]
Now, when the cover member 14 is rotated from (a) to (b) in the same figure, a force is applied to close the cover member 14 by the elastic force of the contact piece 14b. When further rotated, the contact piece 14b slides with respect to the corner portion 19c while being bent, and when the neutral position is passed, the force is switched to open the cover member 14 this time. And the cover member 14 rotates lightly to the state shown to the figure (c), and the contact piece 14b is elastically restored simultaneously.
Note that the case where the cover member 14 is closed from this state is substantially the same as described above, and a description thereof will be omitted.
[0016]
That is, between the mirror frame 13 and the cover member 14, as shown in FIG. 4, a connecting portion that connects the cover member 14 to the mirror frame 13 so as to be openable and closable, and the cover member 14 in a predetermined direction. The arm 15 has an abutting piece 14b to be urged and a convex portion 19, and the connecting portion is projected from the cover member 14 toward the mirror frame 13 and is rotatably supported by the mirror frame 13. have. The abutment piece 14b is configured to be elastically displaceable in the shape of a cantilever near the arm 15 of the cover member 14, and the convex portion 19 is formed in the mirror frame 13. When the cover member 14 is opened, the convex portion 19 is positioned between the contact piece 14b and the arm 15 (see FIG. 5).
As shown in FIG. 5, the convex portion 19 contacts the open holding surface 19 b close to the contact surface 14 c of the contact piece 14 b when the cover member 14 is opened and the cover member 14 when the cover member 14 is closed. The closed holding surface 19a adjacent to the contact surface 14c, the open holding surface 19b that is in contact with the contact surface 14c and deflects the contact piece 14b when in the intermediate state of opening and closing, and the corner portion 19c adjacent to the closed holding surface 19a. The protrusion 19 is positioned between the contact piece 14b and the arm 15 in the intermediate state, the contact piece 14b is elastically deformed by the corner portion 19c, and the cover member 14 is moved by the elastic force. It is configured to be able to rotate in a predetermined direction.
Therefore, in the above opening / closing structure, the cover member 14 in the half-open state can be held after being rotated in the opening direction or the closing direction without using a leaf spring as in the prior art. Further, the configuration of the connecting portion is relatively simple, and the cover member 14 can be attached in a one-touch manner.
[0017]
In contrast to the above-described embodiment, the mirror frame 13 may be provided with a contact piece, and the cover member 14 may be provided with a closed holding surface, an open holding surface, and a corner portion.
That is, between the mirror frame body and the cover member, there are a connecting portion for connecting the cover member to the mirror frame body so as to be openable and closable, and a contact piece and a convex portion for urging the cover member in a predetermined direction. The connecting portion has an arm that protrudes from the cover member toward the mirror frame and is rotatably supported by the mirror frame. The convex portion is formed in the vicinity of the arm of the cover member, and the contact piece is configured to be elastically displaced formed in a cantilever shape on the mirror frame, and the cover member is opened. In this case, the contact piece is positioned between the arm and the convex portion.
The convex portion includes an open holding surface where the contact surface of the contact piece is close when the cover member is in the open state, a closed holding surface where the contact surface is close when the cover member is in the closed state, An open holding surface that abuts against the abutting surface when in the intermediate state and bends the abutting piece, and a corner portion adjacent to the closed holding surface, and the elastic piece is between the convex portion and the arm in the intermediate state. The cover member is positioned and elastically deformed at the corner of the convex portion, and the cover member can be rotated in a predetermined direction by the elastic force.
[0018]
