Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an automobile mirror mounting structure, and more particularly to a door mirror mounting structure.

(Prior art) The mounting structure of the door mirror is based on the Utility Model 58-
As seen in Japanese Patent No. 104744, the base portion of the door mirror is often provided across the sash and the door outer panel, and the door mirror is attached via this base portion.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In such a mounting structure, in order to avoid interference between the base part of the door mirror and the window glass, the base part must be placed outside the window glass, and the door mirror There is a problem in that the base portion of the vehicle protrudes outward from the vehicle body.

In addition, there is a problem in that the height position of the door mirror is restricted by the belt line, making it difficult to arbitrarily set the height position of the door mirror. That is, if the door mirror is set at a height away from the belt line, the base portion of the door mirror must be made large, and this base portion impairs side visibility.

Incidentally, in recent years, there has been a trend to set the belt line low in order to improve side visibility, and there is an increasing need to arrange the door mirrors at a position higher than the belt line.

In response to such a request, in the case of a sash door, it is conceivable to attach a door mirror to the sash. However, when using this mounting method, it can only be applied to sash doors, and it is necessary to make the sash thicker in order to attach door mirrors, which has an unfavorable effect on ensuring side visibility. Become.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and is an automobile mirror mounting system that solves the above-mentioned problems and allows the height position of the door mirror to be arbitrarily set without being restricted by the belt line. It's about providing structure.

(Means and effects for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a frame-shaped structure disposed at the front lower corner of the front side door window. A window glass is fixed to the member, and a door mirror is attached through the window glass.

With this configuration, the window glass fixed to the lower front corner of the car window functions as the base of the conventional door mirror, which solves the problem of the base protruding outward from the car body. can.

Furthermore, since the door mirror mounting portion is made of a window glass, it is possible to solve the problem of obstructing side visibility. Therefore, the height position of the door mirror can be set arbitrarily without being restricted by the belt line. In other words,
Even if the belt line is set low, the door mirrors can be installed at any height without impairing side visibility.

In addition, since the window glass is fixed by a frame-shaped member disposed at the lower front corner of the car window, the frame-shaped member allows
The rigidity of the front side door will be increased.

Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to both sash doors and sashless doors. In the case of a sash door, there is no need to thicken the sash to attach a door mirror.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In Figure 2, 1 is the front side door;
In the embodiment, the front side door 1 is a ratchetless door. The car window 2 of the front side door 1 has a lower corner part 3 on the front side of the vehicle body.
A triangular auxiliary sash 4 is disposed at the bottom.

As shown in FIG. 1, the auxiliary sash 4 as a frame-shaped member has a side portion 4b extending along the front pillar 6, and a bottom portion 4a joined to the door panel 5. A window glass 7 is fitted into the auxiliary sash 4, and the window glass 7 is fixed to the lower corner portion 3. A bolt insertion hole 8 is formed in the upper part of the window glass 7, and a door mirror 9 is attached using this bolt insertion hole 8.

As shown in FIG. 3, the door mirror 9 has a bolt 10 implanted in the base 9a of the door mirror 9. The bolt 10 is inserted into the bolt insertion hole 8 and the nut 11 is tightened from the passenger compartment side. As a result, the door mirror 9 is assembled. still,
In FIGS. 1 and 3, reference numeral 12 indicates a reinforcement plate. Further, in FIG. 3, reference numeral 13 is a cushion rubber interposed between the door mirror 9 and the window glass 7, and reference numeral 14 is an adhesive for bonding the backing plate 12 to the window glass 7.

In such a configuration, the door mirror 9 is attached via the window glass 7 fixed to the lower corner portion 3, so that the base portion of the door mirror, that is, the door mirror is attached to the front side door 1, as in the conventional case. There is no need to provide a mounting member that must be disposed outside the window glass in order to assemble the door mirror 9 to the outside of the vehicle, and the problem of the mounting portion of the door mirror 9 protruding outward from the vehicle body can therefore be solved. As a result, the door mirror 9 can be installed in a state where it looks smooth in appearance, so that the sense of unity with the front side door 1 can be increased, and the appearance can be improved.

Furthermore, the side visibility can be ensured by the window glass 7 except for the mounting portion of the door mirror 9. Of course, even if the belt line BL is installed low, the height position of the door mirror 9 can be set arbitrarily by making the size of the window glass 7 fixed to the lower corner part 3 to an appropriate size. be able to. This means that the height of the door mirror 9 is not restricted by the height of the belt line BL.
This means that the height position can be set.

Furthermore, since the window glass 7 is fixed by the frame member 4 disposed at the front lower corner 3 of the car window 2, the rigidity of the front side door is increased by the frame member 4. It will be.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can of course be applied even if the front side door 1 is a sash door. in this case,
There is no need to make the sash of the front side door 1 thicker in order to attach the door mirror 9, and from this point of view as well, good lateral visibility can be achieved.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the mounting portion of the door mirror does not protrude outward from the vehicle body, so the door mirror can be mounted in a state where it looks flat in appearance. The appearance can be improved.

Further, since the door mirrors are attached through the window glass fixed to the lower front corner of the car window, side visibility can be improved. Therefore, the height position of the door mirror can be set arbitrarily without being restricted by the belt line, so it can be applied to vehicles with a low belt line without obstructing side visibility. I can do it.

In addition, since a frame-shaped member is disposed at the lower front corner of the car window, the rigidity of the front side door can be increased by the frame-shaped member.

In addition, door mirrors can be installed on both sash doors and sash-less doors.
