Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <<Industrial application>> The present invention is an outside mirror with a wiper, in particular, a stopper member for regulating the wiping position of the wiper is disposed between the mirror and a mirror body that grips the mirror. Regarding outside mirror with wiper.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, this type of outside mirror includes a base 1 attached to a vehicle body, a mirror housing 2 rotatably supported on the base, and a mirror housing as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8. 2, a mirror 3 held by the mirror body 4, and a wiper device 5 for wiping the mirror surface of the mirror 3. This wiper device 5 has a rubber ribbon 52 for wiping a mirror surface, and a wiper arm 51 that applies pressure to the rubber ribbon 52 and causes it to reciprocate. (not shown) to wipe the mirror surface of the mirror 2.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, the mirror body that grips the mirror is not provided with a structure that restricts the wiping range of the wiper, so the wiper overruns during wiping and damages the mirror and mirror housing. There was a risk that the dust would fall into the gap formed between the two and impede the wiper's wiping action.

This invention provides an outside mirror with a wiper that prevents the wiper from overrunning and the rubber ribbon falling between the mirror and the mirror housing and reducing the wiper's wiping performance by providing a stopper on the mirror body. The purpose is to provide.

<<Means for solving the problem>> A base, a mirror housing rotatably supported by the base, a mirror body tiltably mounted within the mirror housing, a mirror held by the mirror body, and the mirror. An outside mirror with a wiper, comprising a wiper device for wiping the mirror surface of the mirror attached to the housing,
The outside mirror includes a mirror body including a grip portion having a mirror fitting groove on the inner surface formed on the periphery, and a plurality of fitting recesses provided on the upper side and the lower side of the grip portion, and the mirror body. A stopper is provided by cutting out a part of the back wall of the holding part and connected to the lower edge of the fitting recess formed in the grip part with a resin hinge and fitting into the fitting recess.

《Operation》 Fitting recesses are provided at the upper and lower sides of the grip portion of the mirror body that is tiltably supported in the mirror housing, and are connected to the lower edge with a resin hinge. The stopper is fitted into the fitting recess, the mirror is press-fitted into the fitting groove, and the wiper arm is actuated in the vertical direction of the mirror by the operation of the drive unit in the mirror housing. Wipe the mirror surface. The range of this wiping is restricted by a stopper to prevent the rubber ribbon from falling into the space between the mirror and the mirror housing.

<<Example>> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are a perspective view and a sectional view showing essential parts. It should be noted that configurations similar to those of the prior art will be described with the same reference numerals.

The present invention consists of a mirror housing 2 rotatably supported on a base 1 fixed to a vehicle body (not shown).
A mirror body 4 is tiltably supported in a mirror housing 2, a mirror 3 attached to the mirror body 4, and a wiper device 5 for wiping the mirror surface of the mirror 3.

The mirror body 4 has a rectangular shape and includes a back wall 42 and a grip portion 43 bent toward the mirror 3 at its periphery.

A fitting groove 41 for the mirror 3 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the gripping portion 43.
A pair of fitting grooves 44 are formed in portions corresponding to the upper and lower sides of the mirror body 4 with a gap in the longitudinal direction.

The stopper 6 is fitted into a fitting recess 44 formed in the grip portion 43, and
A portion corresponding to the fitting recess 44 is cut out and connected to one side of the fitting recess 44 via a resin hinge 62 . A fitting groove 61 for the mirror 3 is formed on the inner surface of the stopper 6 and is continuous with the fitting groove 41 formed in the grip portion 43 during assembly.

This stopper 6 stands up on the gripping portion 43 side around the resin hinge 62 and is disposed within the fitting recess 44 of the gripping portion 43. In this state, the mirror 3 is press-fitted and fixed into each of the fitting grooves 41 and 61.

The mirror surface of the mirror 3 of the outside mirror having the above configuration is composed of a drive section (not shown) disposed inside the mirror housing 2, a wiper arm 51 and a rubber ribbon 52 operated by the drive section. It is wiped away by the wiper device 5. This wiping range is regulated by a movable stopper member, so that the rubber ribbon does not fall between the mirror and the mirror housing.

4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a part of the grip portion 43 of the mirror body 4 is cut out to form a stopper 6. This stopper 6 is connected to the tip of the grip portion 43 by a resin hinge 62. Therefore, the stopper 6 is rotated around the resin hinge 62 toward the back wall 42 and placed in the fitting recess 44 of the grip part 43, and then the mirror 3 is inserted into the fitting groove 4.
Press-fit and fix to 11 and 61.

<<Effects of the Invention>> The present invention has the following effects by having the above-described configuration.

1. Since the wiping range of the wiper device that wipes the mirror is regulated by the stopper, the rubber ribbon will not fall into the gap between the mirror housing and obstruct wiping.

2. Since the stopper is formed by cutting out a part of the mirror body, no separate member is required, which is advantageous in terms of handling costs.
