[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a frame mounting structure for a door mirror in an automobile. That is, the present invention relates to a mounting structure for mounting a frame (hereinafter simply referred to as "frame") supporting a mirror in a door mirror to a body of the door mirror (hereinafter simply referred to as "body"), and particularly to a body opening. The frame is an opening formed in the base of the body and adapted to be fitted with a cover body. The frame can be fixed by a pawl means. The door mirror of the present invention may be an electric barrel or a manual barrel.

[Prior Art]

 As shown in FIG. 6, the frame of the door mirror of an automobile is fixed to the body exclusively by screws. That is, a plurality of through holes 2, 2, ... Is formed on the frame 1 side, and a plurality of female screws 4, 4, ... Corresponding to these through holes 2, 2, ... Are provided on the body 3 side. The frame 1 is fixed to the body 3 by screwing the screws 5 inserted through the through holes 2 on the frame 1 side into the corresponding female screws 4 on the body 3 side. In FIG. 6, reference numeral 6 is a drive means such as a motor, 7 is a female screw for attaching an actuator, 8 is a cover body, and 9 is a body opening portion into which the cover body 8 is fitted.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 With respect to the mounting relationship between the frame 1 and the body 3 in FIG. 6, it is desirable to fix the frame 1 to the body 3 even near the body opening 9. If the frame 1 is not fixed to the body 3 in the vicinity of the body opening 9, the lower part of the body opening 9 is distorted and opens outward due to the use of the door mill, and a gap is formed between the body 1 and the cover body 8. This may occur. However, in the conventional mounting structure in which the frame 1 is attached to the body 3 only by the screws 5, the screw is provided near the body opening 9 in order to fix the frame 1 to the body 3 near the body opening 9. It is necessary to have enough space to fix it. Therefore, in a small door mirror without such a space, since the frame 1 cannot be fixed to the body 3 by screwing in the vicinity of the body opening 9, the lower portion of the body opening 9 is distorted as described above. There is a problem of opening outward. Also, tightening the screws will increase the number of steps in the assembly work of the door mirror. The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems. That is, according to the present invention, even in the case of a small door mirror having no space for tightening the screw near the body opening 9, the frame can be fixed near the body opening 9 without screwing. It was designed to provide a frame mounting structure for door mirrors that prevents rattling and cuts the number of steps required for screw tightening.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is such that the frame can be fixed near the body opening by the pawl means. That is, the present invention provides a frame mounting structure for a door mirror, characterized in that a locking claw is provided near the body opening in the body fall-down rotation shaft part, and a claw receiving part corresponding to the locking claw is provided on the frame. It is provided.

[0005]

[Action]

 When the frame is attached to the body in the frame mounting structure for the door mirror according to the present invention, the locking claw provided near the body opening of the body falling rotation shaft portion is locked to the corresponding claw receiving portion of the frame so that the frame is fixed. Fix near the body opening. In this way, since the body opening is fixed to the frame, it is possible to correct deformation and stabilize vibration. Even in the door mirror having the frame mounting structure according to the present invention, it goes without saying that the frame is fixed to the body with screws except for the vicinity of the body opening.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 is a body of the door mirror, 11 is a cover body fitted in the body opening 12, and 13 is a frame for supporting the mirror. Therefore, in the present invention, a pair of locking claws 14 and 14 are provided near the body opening 12 on the inner surface of the fallen rotary shaft 22 of the body 10 as an example, and the frame 13 is provided with these locking claws 14 and 14. As a corresponding example, a pair of claw receiving portions 15 and 15 are provided. The locking claws 14 and 14 and the claw receiving portions 15 and 15 are, for example, hooks having corresponding shapes. Further, a pair of locking claws 16 and 16 are provided on the inner surface of the cover body 11 as an example, and a pair of claw receiving portions 17 and 17 corresponding to the locking claws 16 and 16 are provided on the frame 13 as an example. The locking claws 16 and 16 on the inner surface of the cover body 11 are, for example, hook-shaped bodies, and as the claw receiving portions 17 and 17 corresponding to these locking claws 16 and 16, for example, plate-shaped bodies are erected on the frame 13. In the illustrated example, when the frame 13 is attached to the body 10, first, the locking claws 16 and 16 on the inner surface of the cover body 11 are locked to the corresponding claw receiving portions 17 and 17 of the frame 13 to fix the cover body 11 to the frame. 13 and then the body opening 12 is bent to disengage the locking claws 14, 14 provided near the body opening 12 in the fallen rotation shaft 22 of the body 10 from the corresponding claw receiving portions 15 in the frame 13. The frame 13 is fixed to the vicinity of the body opening 12 by locking the frame 13. Also in the door mirror having the frame mounting structure according to the present invention, the frame 13 is fixed to the body 10 with the screws except the portion near the body opening 12. That is, a plurality of through holes 18, 18, ... Are formed in the frame 13, and a plurality of female threads 19, 19, ... Corresponding to these through holes 18, 18 ,. The frame 13 is fixed to the body 10 by screwing a screw (not shown) inserted through each through hole 18 on the frame 13 side into a corresponding female screw 19 on the body 10 side. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 20 is a drive means such as a motor, and 21 is an internal thread for attaching an actuator.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the frame can be fixed to the vicinity of the opening of the body by using the pawl means without using the screw, so that the space for tightening the screw near the opening of the body is sufficient. Even in a small-sized door mirror that does not have the structure, by fixing the frame near the body opening, it is possible to prevent the deformation of the lower portion of the body opening and prevent backlash. In addition, since the frame is fixed near the body opening in this way, the fitting state between the cover body and the body opening is corrected, and the fitting feeling is improved. By fixing the frame near the opening of the body, the sense of unity between the body and the frame is increased, and blurring and noise are reduced. Further, since the frame can be fixed near the opening of the body by the claw means, the assembling property is improved and the man-hour required for screw tightening is cut.
