Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a bracket for a hard-top door mirror mounted on an automobile, particularly a hard-top vehicle.

Conventionally, when installing door mirrors on hard-top vehicles, the current situation is that the door mirrors are generally screwed directly onto the door panels. This requires a through hole or the like to be made in the door panel, which creates a sense of resistance, and has drawbacks such as being difficult to remove once installed. Moreover, if it is attempted to mount the device with other structures, it will be very difficult due to the structure of the vehicle type, and the installation structure will be quite complicated.

In view of the above, the present invention effectively utilizes the screw holes provided in the door panel or door trim.
To provide a door mirror bracket for a hardtop that can be easily installed and removed and has a simplified structure.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

First, the right side door mirror (generally the driver's seat side) and its bracket shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be explained. 1 is the door mirror, 2 is its mounting surface, and this mounting surface 2 is an outer shell having a substantially half-truncated shape. It is composed of a frame body 2a and a plurality of (three in the embodiment) protruding tubes 3 having screw holes protruding from the mounting surface 2 and bottom surface 2b of the frame body 2a. Reference numeral 4 denotes a bracket for a door mirror which is fixed to the mounting surface 2 and has a substantially half-truncated shape.This bracket 4 has a notch at the edge of the bottom side 4a and a downward triangular locking piece 5 at approximately the center thereof. At the same time, an insertion protrusion 6 is formed on the convergent side of the bottom side 4a (left side in FIG. 1). On the other hand, the oblique side 4b of the bracket 4 has a convergent side (the first
On the left side in the figure, a connecting piece 7 is arranged in a row so as to be bent at a substantially right angle from the oblique side 4b, and a rectangular locking piece 8 is formed via this connecting piece 7.
The locking piece 8 has a larger angle of inclination than the slope of the oblique side 4b, and is formed so as to sag at the front so as to be located below the bottom side 4a. 9 is a through hole provided in the bracket 4, 10 is a long hole provided in the triangular locking piece 5, and 11 is a long hole provided in the rectangular locking piece 8. The bracket 4 thus formed is attached to the outer frame 2a of the mounting surface 2 as shown in the figure, and the through hole 9 formed therein is attached to the outer frame 2a of the mounting surface 2.
Then, the set screw 12 is inserted, and this set screw 12 is screwed into the projecting tube 3. As a result, the bracket 4 is fixedly attached to the mounting surface 2 of the door mirror 1. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the door mirror to which the bracket 4 is fixed is attached by attaching the rectangular locking piece 8 to the door trim 1.
3 is used as a part of a garnish (blind plate) 15 that hides the long groove required when inserting the glass 14, and one screw hole 16 for the garnish 15 is used.
is aligned with the elongated hole 11 of the locking piece 8, and the locking piece 8 is fixed to the door trim 13 with the set screw 17. In addition, the insertion protrusion 6 is inserted between the inner surface of the door panel 18 and the glass 14.
A triangular locking piece 5 is inserted into the gap with the outer surface.
is attached to the tongue piece 19 bent on the inner side of the door panel 18, and the locking piece 5 is attached to the screw hole 20 provided in the tongue piece 19.
Match the long holes 10 of. Then, the locking piece 5 is fixed to the tongue piece 19, that is, the door panel 18 using the set screw 21. In this way, the door mirror is fixed to the door via the bracket 4.

Next, the left side (generally passenger side) side door mirror and its bracket shown in Figs. 4 and 5 will be explained. This door mirror 1' and bracket 4' are symmetrical with the right side mirror described above, but their structure is are exactly the same. 1' is a door mirror, 2' is its mounting surface, and this mounting surface 2' has an outer frame body 2'a having a substantially half-truncated shape, and a screw hole protruding from the bottom surface 2'b of the mounting surface 2'. A plurality of (three in the embodiment) projecting tubes 3' are provided. Reference numeral 4' denotes a bracket for the door mirror which is fixed to the mounting surface 2' and has a substantially half-truncated shape, and this bracket 4' has a notch at the end edge of the bottom side 4'a and a downward triangular shape in the approximate center thereof. A locking piece 5' is formed, and an insertion protrusion 6' is formed on the converging side of the bottom side 4'a (the right side in FIG. 4). On the other hand, on the oblique side 4'b of the bracket 4', a connecting piece 7' is connected to the converging side (right side in Fig. 4) so as to be bent at a substantially right angle from the oblique side 4'b. A rectangular locking piece 8' is formed through the piece 7'. The locking piece 8' has a larger angle of inclination than the slope of the oblique side 4'b, and is formed so as to sag at the front so as to be located below the base side 4'a. 9' is a through hole provided in bracket 4', 1
0' is a long hole provided in the triangular locking piece 5', and 11' is a long hole provided in the rectangular locking piece 8'. Then, the bracket 4' formed in this way is attached to the outer frame body 2'a of the mounting surface 2' as shown in the figure,
Insert the set screw 12' through the through hole 9' therein,
This set screw 12' is screwed into the projecting tube 3'. This allows the bracket 4' to be attached to the mounting surface 2' of the door mirror 1'.
It is fixed to. The door mirror to which the bracket 4' is fixed is omitted because it is fixed to the door in the same way as the one on the right side.

The present invention is as described in detail above, and is removably fixed to the mounting surfaces of the left and right door mirrors to form a bracket, and the locking pieces provided on this bracket are attached to the tongue pieces of the door trim and door panel, and the connecting pieces are attached to the tongue pieces of the door trim and the door panel. The locking piece provided on the door panel is used as a part of the garnish and is fixed to the door trim, and the insertion piece is inserted into the gap between the door panel and the glass. This type of door mirror, which is difficult to install and remove, can be easily installed on the door of a hardtop car.
It has the effect of being removable, and since it uses a screw hole that is created during the manufacturing process of the car, it is very effective in that it can be installed and removed easily without causing any damage to the car. In addition, since the bracket of the present invention is detachable from the door mirror, it is compatible with Utility Application No. 57-074486, which the present applicant has already filed.
It is also possible to attach and detach the side mirror of the model, and if you prepare a bracket, you can attach it to other car models such as sedans, which is really useful. Furthermore, the structure is simplified, it is easy to handle, there are few failures, and it can be provided at low cost.

In particular, in the present invention, since the locking piece fixed to the door trim provided on the connecting piece is used as a part of the garnish, it is possible to eliminate adverse effects such as scratches between the glass and the door mirror bracket. , a smooth transition in the vertical direction of the glass can be expected.
