Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle door mirror assembly, and more particularly, to a mounting structure for mounting a stay that rotatably supports a mirror visor to a door.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 A conventional door mirror assembly is usually installed in an automobile door so that it does not have an aesthetically pleasing appearance, that is, mounting members such as mounting screws and nuts are not visible to the outside. , These can be attached to the outer panel of the door from inside the room using these attachment members. That is, first, in the triangular portion (commonly known as a triangular patch) at the front lower part of the door window where the door mirror is attached, a plurality of communication holes drilled so as to communicate the inner panel and the outer panel are respectively provided with bolts from the inside of the room. And the screws are passed through, and the stay is fixed on the outer panel by these mounting members.

However, there is a case where an accessory such as a speaker is desired to be attached to the inner panel portion corresponding to the above window triangle portion of the door mirror assembly. In such a case, the installation work inside cannot be performed. For this reason, in such a case, the work of attaching the stay to the triangular portion must be performed from the outside of the outer panel. However, in this case, the fixing members such as nuts are exposed on the outside of the stay, that is, where they are touched by the eyes of the person, which is not desirable in terms of design.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, a technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an automobile door mirror assembly having a structure in which a stay is fixed to a predetermined position of a door from outside by a fixing member and the fixing member is not exposed. ..

[0005]

[Means, actions, and effects for solving problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, an automobile door mirror assembly having the following configuration is provided.

That is, in this vehicle door mirror assembly, the pivoted end of the visor is placed on the lower extension of the stay fixed to the door of the vehicle between the use position of the visor and the retracted position of the visor or the forward folding position. It is configured to be mounted so as to be rotatable between them. The pivoted end of the visor has a cutout space below it, and the above-mentioned protruding portion of the stay is provided in the cutout space for rotatably supporting the pivoted end of the visor. A rotating support member. Further, in this vehicle door mirror assembly, the visor rotation support member is fixed to the lower extension of the stay with a fixing member such as a screw in a state where the visor is positioned at the retracted position or the front foldable position with respect to the visor rotation support member. However, when the visor is placed in the use position, the visor rotation support member is hidden in the cutout space of the visor, and the fixing means for fixing the stay to the door is hidden by the end surface of the pivot end of the visor. Is configured.

According to the above configuration, the vehicle door mirror assembly is attached to a predetermined portion of the door of the vehicle by a fixing member such as a screw at the storage position of the visor or the forward retractable position. Is concealed by the pivot end surface of the pivot end of the visor in the use position of the visor.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a vehicle door mirror assembly according to this embodiment, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the door mirror assembly in a storage position, and FIG. 3 is a door mirror assembly of FIG. The respective cross-sectional views of the main part of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle door mirror assembly includes a stay 20 and a visor 30 rotatably supported by the stay 20, and the stay 20 is installed in a lower front portion of a door window. It is attached to the triangular portion 10. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the visor 30 includes a main body portion 30B and a pivotally attached end portion 30A formed by forming a notch 30C in the main body portion 30B.

As shown in FIG. 2, the stay 20 further includes a substantially triangular stay base 20A fixed to the triangular portion 10 and upper and lower side surfaces of the pivot end 30A of the visor 30. It is provided with a pair of visor rotation supporting members 20B having an L-shaped cross section that are rotatably mounted.

As shown in the figure, each of these visor rotation support members 20B has a vertical protrusion 20g that protrudes substantially vertically in the direction of the anti-pivot end, and this vertical protrusion 20g has a vertical protrusion 20g. A pair of screw through holes 40a are formed in each.

On the other hand, as shown in the figure, the stay base portion 20A has a pair of projecting portions 20f that are substantially perpendicular to the triangular portion to which the stay base portion 20A is attached. The projecting portion 20f has a U-shaped cross section so that it can be engaged with the vertical protrusion 20g of the visor rotation supporting member 20B. A screw fixing portion 20b is provided so that when the vertical projecting portion 20g of 20B is engaged with the projecting portion 20f, the both 20f and 20g can be fixed by the screw 40b. That is, the screw fixing portion 20b is formed at a predetermined position on the inner surface of the projecting portion 20f corresponding to the screw hole 40a formed in the vertical projecting portion 20g when the projecting portion 20f and the vertical projecting portion 20g are engaged. Has been done.

As shown in FIG. 3, the triangular portion 10 has a bolt hole 10a, and a nut 20e for fixing a bolt is provided inside the bolt hole 10a in the vehicle. It is fixed to. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the stay base portion 20A has bolt holes 20a at positions corresponding to the bolt holes 10a formed in the triangular portion 10, and the bolts formed in the stay base portion 20A. Fix the stay base 20A on the triangular part 10 by overlapping the hole 20a on the bolt hole 10a formed on the triangular part 10 and inserting the bolt 20d from the side of the stay base 20A into the holes of both bolts to screw it in. can do.

The attachment of the door mirror assembly to the triangular portion is performed as follows. That is, first, as described above, the stay base portion 20A is fixed to the triangular portion 10 with the bolts 20d as described above, and then the visor 30 is rotated to the storage position P1 as shown in FIG. Engage with the vertical protrusion 20g of the visor rotation support member 20B. Next, the screw 40b is inserted into each screw hole 40a formed in the visor rotation supporting member 20B, and the screw 40b is screwed in to attach the visor 30 to the stay base 20A.

As described above, FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the main parts when the visor 30 is attached to the stay base 20A. As shown in the drawing, the stay base portion 20A may be attached to the triangular portion 10 with the sealing material 20C interposed therebetween.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which the door mirror assembly for an automobile of the present invention is assembled to the door of an automobile as described above and the visor 30 is rotated to the use position P2. As shown in the figure, in the use position P2, most of the visor rotation supporting member 20B and the screws that are the fixing members thereof are due to the main body portion 30B of the visor 30, and the bolts of the stay base portion 20A with respect to the triangular portion 10 are fixed. All of the mounting members such as the above will be hidden by the upper pivot end 30A of the visor 30, so that the stay can be fixed to the door from the outside without spoiling the external appearance of the door mirror assembly. Of.

In the above embodiment, the visor rotation support member 20B is attached to the stay 20 with the visor 30 rotated to the storage position P1. However, the visor 30 is rotated to the front foldable position. It goes without saying that the visor rotation support portion 20B may be attached to the stay 20.
