[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a vehicle door mirror mounting structure, since the clips 9 and the screws N2 are used for temporary fixing, there is a problem that the number of parts is large and the number of mounting steps is also large. Further, if the direction of the clip 9 is directional, the attachment thereof is very troublesome.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, by forming a locking portion 7a for locking the slit hole S and temporarily fixing it on the projection 7 of the base 1, the number of parts can be reduced and the mounting work can be performed easily. A vehicle door mirror mounting structure having a reduced number of steps has been proposed (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-49748).

However, since the locking portion 7a is formed on the protrusion 7 and has a hook shape, there is a problem in that the mold for forming the base 1 becomes complicated. Further, since the locking portion 7a is die-casted, it is easy to slip with respect to the slit hole S. Therefore, if the locking portion 7a is made small and easily inserted into the slit hole S, the locking portion 7a is easily disengaged from the slit hole S. There was a problem that the temporary fixing became unstable.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to reduce the number of parts and the number of steps of mounting work, and to perform stable temporary fixing. An object is to provide a vehicle door mirror mounting structure that does not complicate the mold for forming the base.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a fixing boss on a base of a door mirror, temporarily fixes the door mirror to an outer panel of the vehicle body, and then fixes the boss to an inner panel of the vehicle body to mount the door mirror. A vehicle door mirror mounting structure, in which a gasket made of an elastic material that is fixed to the base and abuts on the outer panel is provided, and is inserted into a temporary fixing hole for temporary fixing formed on the outer panel to mount the door mirror. It is characterized in that a bulged portion for temporary fixing is provided on the gasket.

[0010]

[Action]

 With this configuration, the door mirror is temporarily fixed by inserting the bulging portion provided in the gasket into the temporary fixing hole for temporary fixing formed in the outer panel.

Reference numerals 31a to 33a are screw holes. Further, a projection 34 for temporarily fixing the door mirror 10 is provided at a substantially central position of the base 30. Reference numeral 35 is a leg portion formed on the peripheral edge of the base 30, and reference numeral 36 is an abutting portion that abuts the gasket 40 and prevents the gasket 40 from bending.

The gasket 40 is formed in the same shape so as to cover the back surface (right side in FIG. 2) of the base 30. The gasket 40 is formed with cylindrical portions 41 to 43 into which the screw bosses 31 to 33 of the base 30 are fitted. Further, the gasket 40 is formed with a tubular portion 44 into which the protrusion 34 of the base 30 is fitted and a bulging portion 45 protruding rightward (in FIG. 2) from the tubular portion 44. The middle portion is the large diameter portion 45a. The protrusion 34 is also fitted in the bulging portion 45.

Then, the screw bosses 31 to 33 and the protrusions 34 of the base 30 are fitted into the tubular portions 41 to 44 of the gasket 40, whereby the gasket 40 is fixedly attached to the base 30. Reference numerals 46 and 47 denote seal protrusions provided at positions corresponding to the leg portions 23a of the base cover 23 and the leg portions 35 of the base 30 (the seal protrusions 46 and 47 are omitted in FIG. 2). The seal protrusions 46 and 47 are provided at positions surrounding holes 51 to 53 (see FIG. 4) of the outer panel 11a described later.

FIG. 4 shows the outer panel 11a of the door panel 11. The outer panel 11a has a hole 51 into which the screw boss 31 is inserted and a large square hole 52 into which the screw bosses 32 and 33 are inserted. And a temporary fixing hole 53 for temporary fixing into which the bulging portion 45 of the gasket 40 is inserted. The diameter of the temporary fixing hole 53 is set smaller than the diameter of the large diameter portion 45a of the bulging portion 45, and the diameter of the hole 51 is set larger than the diameter of the tubular portion 41 so that the tubular portion 41 can be easily inserted. There is.

Further, when the tubular portions 42 and 43 of the gasket 40 are brought into contact with the lower peripheral edge portion 52a below the hole 52 (in FIG. 4) as shown in FIG. 4, the bulging portion 45 and the tubular portion 41 are temporarily removed. The position and size of the hole 52 are set so as to be located in the stop hole 53 and the hole 51. That is, the lower peripheral edge portion 52a functions as positioning for positioning the bulging portion 45 and the tubular portion 41 in the temporary fixing hole 53 and the hole 51 when the tubular portions 42 and 43 are brought into contact with each other.

Next, a method of mounting the door mirror 10 will be described.
