- the fixing device object of the invention is characterized in that the cavity that configures the unipieza envelope, obtained by blowing techniques of plastic materials, of the sun visors for the accommodation of the courtesy mirror has a plurality of projections of Essentially cylindrical fixing that, regularly distributed, protrudes, in relatively small magnitude, perpendicularly from the bottom of said cavity, which fixing projections penetrate inside the courtesy mirror cuvette through through holes which, arranged in positional correspondence with said fixing projections, the cuvette has on its rear face or bottom, the cuvette being firmly fixed in the cavity of the unipieza envelope of the sun visor by the immobilizing effect of retention means of each of the projections Fixing.
- the retaining means of the fixing device according to the invention are constituted by the plastic deformation of the free end of the fixing projection, which deformation occurs by means of ultrasonic techniques, by heat, or by mechanical impact, so that the cuvette is subjected to compression between the free deformed end of the fixing projection and the bottom of the Unipieza envelope cavity.
- the retaining means of the fixing device according to the invention are constituted by a self-tapping screw for truncating conical shank which applied longitudinally and centrally on the free end of the fixing projection elastically deforms it, so that, The cuvette is compressed between the deformed upper portion of the fixing projection and the bottom of the unipieza envelope cavity.
- the retaining means of the fixing device according to the invention are constituted by an internally toothed tightening washer that adjusts in the fixing projection, so that the cuvette is compressed between the tightening washer and the bottom of the unipieza envelope cavity.
- the retaining means of the fixing device according to the invention are constituted by a self-tapping tightening nut coupled to the fixing projection, so that the cuvette is compressed between the tightening nut and the bottom of the cavity of the unipieza envelope.
- the characteristics of the fixing device according to the invention described above provide a solution to the problems presented by known embodiments of fixing means of the courtesy mirror to the sun visor based on the use of adhesive products.
- the operational reliability of the fixing device according to the invention is, by its very essence, superior with respect to the reliability obtained with the known fixing means based on the use of adhesive products.
- Another advantage derived from the characteristics of the fixing device according to the invention consists in the fact that, depending on the retention means used in the fixing projections for immobilization of the courtesy mirror cuvette in the corresponding cavity of Unipieza parasol sun visor envelope, the mirror tray can be removed easily of said cavity in order to proceed with the maintenance and / or replacement operations of the mirror itself and of the devices that it may contain, such as among other devices intended for lighting its immediate surroundings, all of which, generally, is difficult to execute when the mirror tray is attached to the single-piece envelope of the sun visor by means of adhesive products.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a phase of the coupling of the cuvette mirror cutaway to the unipieza envelope of the sun visor.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the fixing projections of the device according to the invention.
- Figure 3 is a sectional view showing the fixing projections of the device according to the invention.
- Figure 4 is a sectional view showing the courtesy mirror cuvette and the attached sun visor envelope.
- FIGS 5, 6, 7 and 9 are sectional views showing different embodiments of the retention means of the device according to the invention.
- Figure 8 is a top view of the means of retention shown in Figure 7.
- the device for fixing mirrors courtesy of sun visors which is the object of the invention, which is described as an example of embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawing sheets, the fixing projections 1 that configure the cavity 2 of the envelope 3 of the sun visor and any of the MR retention means shown in Figures 5, 6, 7 and 9.
- Figure 1 shows how the envelope 3 of the sun visor is unipieza and essentially prismatic shape whose outline, which is given as an orientation, corresponds to the configuration of the interior of the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle.
- the envelope 3 is obtained from plastic materials, such as polyethylene or polypropylene, and is formed by blowing these materials. It is known that the envelope 3 and for the purpose of increasing its mechanical strength has a padding that can be constituted by polyethylene, polypropylene or P.U.R. which, in order to achieve greater clarity of exposure, has not been represented in the figures on the drawing sheets.
- Figure 1 shows how the envelope 3 configures in one of its faces the cavity 2 destined for the reception with adjustment of the cuvette 4 of the courtesy mirror which, for the same reasons as those detailed above, has not been fully represented in the Figures on the sheets of drawings.
- the cuvette 4 of the courtesy mirror and the cavity 2 of the envelope 3 of the sun visor, both shown in Figure 1 are basically prismatic in shape and are complementary to each other for coupling with adjustment, although logically , they can adopt any other configuration suitable to each specific application case without affecting the functionality of the fixing device according to the invention.
- Figures 1 and 2 show how the cavity 2 of the envelope 3 has the fixing projections 1 which essentially have a cylindrical shape and its free end is finished off by a convex finish.
- the number of fixing projections 1 is two and they are distributed on the longitudinal main axis of the cuvette 2 and a relatively small distance from the transverse walls 5.
- the number and distribution of the fixing projections 1 will be given by the needs, and in particular by the size of the courtesy mirror, which presents each specific case of application so that the situation and number of the fixing projections 1 provided in this example of realization are given exclusively for guidance.
- Figure 1 shows how the face 6, or bottom, of the cuvette 4 of the courtesy mirror has the through holes 7 which in number and position correspond functionally with the fixing projections 1 of the cavity 2 of the envelope 3.
