Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a door mirror installed in a car, and in particular a slider device for a remote-controlled folding door mirror that allows the mirror angle to be adjusted from inside the car. This is related to.

[Prior Art] Some foldable door mirrors installed in automobiles allow the mirror angle to be adjusted manually or electrically from inside the vehicle. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a slider 4 is slidably attached to a guide 3 provided on the back side of a mirror holder 2 to which a mirror 1 is fixed, and a link means 5 is connected to one end of the slider 4 so that the slider 4 can be moved from the passenger compartment. The mirror holder 2 is rotated to adjust the angle of the mirror 1.

When the door mirror collides with an obstacle while the vehicle is running, or when the door mirror is tilted while parking, the tip of the slider does not come out of the guide 3 of the mirror holder. A screw 6 etc. for fixing is provided upright.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the above-mentioned conventional door mirror, if a strong impact is applied to the door mirror and the door mirror is tilted, the stopper such as a screw at the tip of the slider may be damaged and the slider may be damaged. You may fall out of the guide. This problem could be solved by making the slider longer, but as is well known, the back of the mirror holder is provided with a pivot hole that serves as a pivot point. There were problems such as the slider interfering with the pivot hole etc. during normal use of the door mirror.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the conventional slider device for folding door mirrors.
A folding door mirror in which an actuating plate is slidably mounted in a guide provided on the rear surface of the mirror holder, and a link means is connected to one end of the actuating plate to adjust the mirror angle, wherein the actuating plate is It has a forked branch rod, and each of the branch rods has a length such that its tip protrudes beyond the pivot hole provided on the back surface of the mirror holder during normal use of the mirror, and the pivot hole is formed between the branch rods. They are slidably inserted into a pair of guides provided on the back surface of the mirror holder so as to be sandwiched between them.

[Example] The slider device for a foldable door mirror of the present invention will be specifically described below based on the illustrated example.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing the main parts of a folding door mirror to which an embodiment of the slider device of the present invention is attached. The door mirror 10 has a housing 11 connected to a mounting base 12 by hinges 13, 14 and a hinge plate 15. Then, the housing 11 and the mounting base 1
Mounting base 12 with spring 16 stretched between 2
is crimped to. And this door mirror 10
is used by attaching the mounting base 12 to a triangular window of a vehicle, and is designed to tilt forward and backward using the hinge parts 13 and 14 as fulcrums. On the other hand, a mirror holder 18 to which a mirror is fixed is attached to the housing 11 at a pivot 19 provided in the housing 11.
The holder 18 is attached by fitting into the pivot hole 20 on the back side of the holder 18. This mirror holder 1
A link means 21 is connected to 8, and a slider device is attached so that the mirror angle can be adjusted by operating an operation knob 22 from inside the vehicle.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the slider device is located near the end of the back surface of the mirror holder 18.
A pair of gate-shaped guides 23, 23 are provided, and an actuating plate 24 is slidably mounted within the gates 23, 23.

The actuating plate 24 is bifurcated and has a base 24
It has a pair of branch rods 24b, 24b extending in parallel from a, and the tips of the branch rods 24b, 24b are formed to a length that projects beyond the pivot hole 20 during normal use of the mirror. And the base 24a
A hinge portion 24 for connecting the link means 21 is provided at the end of the
c is integrally formed.

The slider device first includes an actuating plate 2.
The branch rods 24b, 24b of No. 4 are fitted into the gate-shaped guides 23, 23 provided on the mirror body 18 to be slidably attached, and then the hinge portion 24c of the actuating plate 24 and the link means 21 are connected by the pin 25. and connect.

The operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be explained.

First, when the door mirror is in normal use,
As shown in FIG. 2, the actuating plate is housed on the rear surface of the mirror body with the pivot hole 20 in between, and is operated by holding the knob of the operating lever inside the vehicle, via the link means 21. By operating the actuating plate, you can adjust the tilt angle of the mirror horizontally or vertically as usual.

On the other hand, when the door mirror is tilted forward or backward (the case where it is tilted forward is shown by a chain line in FIG. 1), as shown in FIG.
24b slides on the back surface of the mirror holder 18 while being supported by the guides 23, 23, respectively.

Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be described.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a gate-shaped guide 2 is provided on the back side of the mirror holder 26 at a position away from the horizontal axis of the mirror holder including the pivot hole 27.
8, in which an actuating plate 29 is mounted so as to slide parallel to the horizontal axis.
The operating plate 29 has a rectangular shape and has a length such that its tip protrudes beyond the pivot hole 27 during normal use of the mirror, and has a link means 30 at its base end.
A connecting hinge 31 is integrally formed, and the actuating plate 29 and link means 31 are connected by a pin 32.

The operation of this embodiment is similar to that of the first embodiment, but as is clear from FIG. This has the effect of being able to do this efficiently.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention has the above configuration, the following effects are achieved.

That is, the actuating plate for adjusting the angle of the mirror is bifurcated and has a length such that its tip protrudes beyond the pivot hole provided on the back surface of the mirror holder during normal use of the mirror, and the actuating plate is formed in a bifurcated shape. Since the actuating plate is slidably mounted between the forked branch rods so as not to come into contact with the pivot hole, smooth mirror angle adjustment is possible without the actuating plate interfering with the pivot hole.

Further, the length of the actuating plate can be extended regardless of the position of the pivot hole, and a sufficient length can be ensured to prevent the actuating plate from falling off the guide when the mirror is tilted. Therefore, there is no need to attach a projection or screw to the tip of the actuating plate to prevent it from coming off, and this is highly effective in simplifying the assembly work.
