Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a structure for mounting a mirror base metal fitting on a windshield, and more specifically, it is interesting to use a mounting area for a mirror base metal fitting which is required when mounting an inner mirror on the windshield of an automobile. The present invention relates to a structure for mounting a mirror base metal fitting on a windshield that can exhibit rich visual effects.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Recently, there has been a tendency to adopt a windshield with a large curvature because of its reduced air resistance coefficient or due to design requirements. Compared with, the number of items that are mounted rearward is increasing.

For this reason, the mounting position of the inner mirror such as the rearview mirror is required to be mounted using the glass surface of the windshield instead of the roof portion of the vehicle body as in the past.

FIG. 4 shows a conventional example of a mounting structure for an inner mirror utilizing such a glass surface of a windshield. As shown in the figure, a black ceramic layer 3 is formed on the vehicle interior glass surface 2 of a windshield 1 made of laminated glass or the like, and the black ceramic layer 3 protects a urethane adhesive 4 that is sensitive to ultraviolet rays while protecting the mirror. The structure to attach the base metal fitting 5 was adopted.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, the black ceramic layer 3 formed on the glass surface 2 on the inside of the vehicle is necessary for protecting the urethane adhesive 4 from ultraviolet rays and also for concealing the unsightly internal structure. .

However, the black ceramics layer 3 formed on the windshield 1 only exists as a mediocre concealing body that is not interesting from the outside of the vehicle, and is visually appealing to those who see it. A method for producing the effect was being sought.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems in the prior art, and its structural feature is that the colored ceramic layer patterned on the windshield portion corresponding to the mounting position of the mirror base metal fitting. A mirror-based metal fitting is attached to the glass surface inside the car corresponding to the formation position of this colored ceramic layer through an anti-UV transparent adhesive, and the adhesive surface of this mirror base metal and the colored ceramic layer are attached. It is possible to draw the character part by combining them.

The colored ceramics layer can be formed not only on the bonding surface of at least one of the plate-shaped glasses constituting the laminated glass, but also on the film surface of the laminated intermediate film or the glass surface inside the vehicle.

[0009]

[Action]

 Therefore, from the outside of the vehicle, the character part that is depicted by the combination of the adhesive surface of the mirror base fitting and the colored ceramic layer can be seen through. It is possible to bring out interesting visual effects, and to add a visual accent to the windshield itself.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially enlarged vertical sectional view showing an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, a colored ceramic layer 15 formed by applying a colored ceramic coating material in an appropriate pattern is formed on the upper side of the vehicle interior glass surface 14 of the windshield 11. A mirror base metal fitting 18 is fixed on the ceramic layer 15 with an anti-ultraviolet transparent adhesive 17 interposed therebetween, and a bonding surface 19 of the mirror base metal fitting 18 serves as a background to be combined with the colored ceramic layer 15 to be assembled. The character part 16 of the pattern can be appropriately expressed with.

As the windshield 11 in this case, a laminated glass is used in which a pair of plate-shaped glasses 12 and 12 are bonded to each other with a laminated intermediate film 13 made of polyvinyl butyral or the like interposed therebetween, as shown in the illustrated example. Besides, it is also possible to use the one formed by a reinforced glass having a single plate structure.

Further, the anti-ultraviolet transparent adhesive 17 used when fixing the mirror base metal member 18 to the windshield 11 is only required to be transparent after the adhesion, and has a strong durability against ultraviolet rays, for example. An appropriate transparent adhesive member having durability against ultraviolet rays, such as a silicone-based transparent adhesive that holds the above or a silicone-based transparent adhesive film, can be preferably used.

Further, as the mirror base fitting 18, in addition to iron, stainless steel, iron plated with nickel or zinc, and the like formed of an appropriate metal material can be used. The inner surface of the mirror base metal fitting 18 is structured so that an inner mirror such as a back mirror can be easily attached. By using this portion, the inner mirror can be attached to the mirror base metal fitting. is there.

In addition, the expression pattern of the character portion 16 which is revealed by the combination of the colored ceramic layer 15 and the adhesive surface 19 of the mirror base metal fitting 18 is similar to the letter “A” shown in FIG. In addition to character characters, there is no particular limitation as long as it is a character pattern obtained by an appropriate method such as a negative image method or a positive image method of an appropriate pattern that tickles human playfulness, such as a symbol character or a pattern character.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the colored ceramic layer 15 is formed on the joint surface of the plate-shaped glass 12 located inside the vehicle, and the colored ceramic layer is formed. A mirror base metal fitting 18 is fixed to a glass surface 14 on the inside of the vehicle, which is in a positional relationship opposed to 15, with an anti-ultraviolet transparent adhesive 17 interposed.

The colored ceramic layer 15 formed on the windshield 11 is formed on the joint surface of the plate-shaped glass 12 located outside the vehicle or located outside the vehicle and inside the vehicle in addition to the illustrated example. It can be formed on the bonding surface of each of the plate-shaped glasses 12 and further on the glass surface 14 on the inner side of the vehicle, and can also be formed on any one of the laminated interlayer films 13.

Since the present invention is configured in this way, the character portion 16 that is manifested under the combination of the colored ceramic layer 15 and the adhesive surface 19 of the mirror base metal fitting 18 has the windshield 11. Since it is possible to see through from the outside of the vehicle through the vehicle, it is possible to exert a visually appealing visual effect on the attachment site of the mirror base metal fitting 18, which was conventionally ignored as a dead zone, and the windshield 11 itself is visually visible. Different accents can be added.

In order to confirm the effect of the present invention, a sample was manufactured according to the following procedure and an experiment was tried.

That is, in a flat glass having a thickness of 2 mm, a black ceramic color frit having a size of 35 mm × 25 mm is formed on the glass surface corresponding to the inner side of the vehicle so that the character “A” becomes white as shown in FIG. After printing, the flat glass was heated to 620 ° C. and the screen-printed black ceramic color frit was baked to form a colored ceramic layer.

A laminated interlayer film made of polyvinyl butyral is interposed between this flat glass and another flat glass, and a 1 mm-thick silicone film is arranged on the colored ceramic layer. A 25 mm x 20 mm stainless steel mirror base metal fitting was closely attached to form a laminate.

This laminated body was pre-compressed in a vacuum rubber bag and subjected to an adhesion process with an autoclave at 130 ° C. and 150 atm to form a laminated glass.

When the laminated glass thus formed is observed from the direction corresponding to the outside of the vehicle, the white letters “A” are shown on the bonding surface of the mirror base metal fitting at the portion where the mirror base metal fitting is fixed. It was visually observed with a metallic sheen.

Further, the fixed portion of the mirror base metal fitting was cut out and left in a sunshine weather meter for 2000 hours and then observed. However, the mirror base metal fitting did not drop out or change in appearance, and the effectiveness of the present invention I was able to confirm.
