Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a novel vanity mirror. Specifically, in a vanity mirror that has a mirror supported by a body and a front cover that covers the front surface of the mirror so that it can be opened and closed, the mirror and the front cover can be attached to the body at the same time, reducing the number of parts and reducing the work required. It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel vanity mirror that can reduce the number of man-hours and therefore can be manufactured at low cost.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY AND PROBLEMS A vanity mirror is usually fitted into the sun visor of an automobile. When the vanity mirror is not in use, it is covered with a front cover to avoid damage or to prevent it from interfering with driving. FIG. 1 shows an example of such a vanity mirror.

In FIG. 1, a is a sun visor, and a vanity mirror b is fitted onto one surface of the sun visor. A body c is made of synthetic resin, and a recess e for holding a mirror d is formed on the front side of the body. f is a rim made of synthetic resin, and has a frame-like outer shape that is large enough to be fitted into the recess e of the body c, and pins g (only one is shown) are inserted from several places on the back side of the rim. ) is integrally provided. Then, with the mirror d placed in the recess e, the rim f is fitted into the recess e of the body c so as to press the peripheral edge of the mirror d, and the pin g of the rim f is inserted into the body c. It is inserted into the formed insertion hole h, and a push-on fixture i is coupled to the pin g, thereby supporting the mirror d on the body c.

A front cover j is made of synthetic resin, and a mounting part l is integrally formed through a thin hinge part k, and a plurality of mounting holes m are formed in this mounting part l. (Only one is shown.) On the other hand, a caulking pin n is integrally protruded from the lower part of the back surface of the body c, and the pin n is inserted into the mounting hole m of the mounting portion l of the front cover j. The mounting portion l of the body c is in contact with the lower back surface of the body c. o is a bracket made of a metal plate, the part of the caulking pin n protruding from the mounting hole m is inserted into the insertion hole p formed in the bracket o, and the part of the pin n protruding from the bracket o is inserted. Caulking is used to attach the front cover j to the body c.

In this way, the vanity mirror b shown in FIG.
In this method, the fixing of the mirror d to the body c and the fixing of the front cover j are performed in separate processes using separate parts, which increases the number of parts and man-hours, which causes an increase in costs.

Purpose of the invention Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and is a vanity mirror that has a mirror supported by a body and a front cover that covers the front surface of the mirror so that it can be opened and closed. To provide a new vanity mirror which can reduce the number of parts and the number of work steps by attaching a front cover at the same time, and can therefore be manufactured at low cost.

Summary of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the vanity mirror of the present invention holds a mirror in a clamp-like manner between the opening edge of a body having an opening and a rear cover attached to the back of the body, and The base end of the front cover, which covers the front of the body so as to be openable and closable, is held in a clamp-like manner between the body and the rear cover.

Embodiments Hereinafter, details of the vanity mirror of the present invention will be explained according to illustrated embodiments.

In the figure, 1 is a sun visor rotatably mounted above the front window of an automobile, and a vanity mirror set 3 is mounted in a recess 2 formed on one surface of the sun visor 1.

4 is a body made of synthetic resin, a mirror 5 is attached to the center thereof, and illumination lamps 6, 6 are arranged on both sides of the part where the mirror 5 is arranged.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a front cover, which is rotatably supported from the lower end of the body 4. Also, as shown in FIG. , 8 are attached. 9,
Reference numeral 9 denotes a magnet attached to the body 4, which is arranged at a position corresponding to the adsorption plates 8, 8 when the front cover 7 is closed, and is used to maintain the closed state of the front cover 7. .

The mirror mounting portion of the body 4 is opened in the shape of a frame approximately the size of the mirror 5, and an installation step portion 10 facing rearward is formed at the edge of the opening.
The peripheral edge of the mirror 5 is brought into contact with the installation step 10 of the body 4. Further, several pins 11 are integrally provided to protrude from the back surface of the lower end portion of the body 4.

The front cover 7 is also made of synthetic resin, and is integrally formed with a mounting part 13 via a thin hinge part 12. A matching mounting hole 14 is formed. And front cover 7
The mounting portion 13 is brought into contact with the lower back surface of the mirror 5 so that the pin 11 of the body 4 is fitted into the mounting hole 14 of the mounting portion 13.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a back cover made of synthetic resin, whose upper end and left and right side edges are installed on a step 16 formed on the back of the body 4, and into a mounting hole 17 formed on its lower side. The pin 11 of the body 4 is fitted, and in this state, its peripheral portion is ultrasonically welded to the back surface of the body 4. Furthermore, 18 are small protrusions formed at several places on the front surface of the back cover 15.
It abuts against the back surface of the mirror 5, thereby stably holding the mirror 5 between the body 4 and the back cover 15 so as not to shake.

In the vanity mirror set 3 mentioned above,
By simply fixing the rear cover 15 to the body 4 with the mirror 5 and the front cover 7 sandwiched between the body 4 and the rear cover 15, the body 4
It is possible to simultaneously hold the mirror 5 to the body 4 and attach the front cover 7 to the body 4, and the number of work steps and parts for assembling this can be extremely reduced, and manufacturing can be done at low cost. can.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the vanity mirror of the present invention holds the mirror in a clamp-like manner between the opening edge of the body having an opening and the rear cover attached to the back of the body. Additionally, the base end portion of the front cover that covers the front surface of the mirror so as to be openable and closable is held in a clamp-like manner between the body and the rear cover.

Therefore, according to the present invention, in a vanity mirror having a mirror supported by a body and a front cover that covers the front surface of the mirror so as to be openable and closable, the mirror and the front cover can be attached to the body at the same time. It is possible to achieve both a reduction in the number of parts and a reduction in the number of work steps, and it is possible to provide an inexpensive vanity mirror.
