JPH0683484U - Inside mirror mounting structure for vehicles - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To improve the work efficiency of assembling the inside mirror that is attached to the vehicle body. [Structure] A hole 10 is formed in a required portion of a vehicle body roof 1, and the base 2 supporting an inside mirror 7 via a stay 8 can be elastically deformed by being pushed to pass through the hole 10 and pass through it. The claw portion 11 that is restored later and is locked in the hole portion 10 is integrally provided. [Effect] When the base 2 is fixed to the vehicle body roof 1 with the screw 3, the claw portion 11 can be engaged with the vehicle body side hole portion 10 to temporarily hold the base, so that the fixing screw 3 can be held with one hand. You can work with the tightening tool by hand. Therefore, the work efficiency of assembling the mirror can be improved.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement in a vehicle inside mirror mounting structure.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, as an installation structure of an inside mirror that is arranged inside a vehicle and visually recognizes the rear side of the vehicle, a structure shown in FIG. 4 is known. This figure shows the installation structure of a falling-out inside mirror that is configured to prevent injuries due to strong impact when the head or face of a driver or passenger is hit when the vehicle suddenly stops or collides. It is a thing.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a vehicle body roof, a base 2 is applied to the vehicle body roof, and a screw 3 is screwed through the base 2 into a nut 4 welded to the roof side to fix the same. The base 2 is provided with a substantially U-shaped spring 5. The U-shaped part of the spring 5 is screwed into the support stay 8 of the mirror 7 by a screw 6 for removing the head, and the mirror is removed. It is indirectly supported. 9 is a cover.

With the above configuration, when a large external force is applied to the mirror 7 such as a human body colliding with the mirror 7, the U-shaped spring 5 at the head of the screw 6 falls off. Becomes free and does not show excessive reaction force against external force. As a result, the impact on the human body that collides with the mirror is mitigated and damage to the mirror is prevented.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the inside mirror mounting structure above is designed so that the inside mirror body (the assembly of the mirror, the stage, and the base) and the fixing screws are cantilevered, and the tightening tool such as a screwdriver is held in one hand. The assembly work is very difficult and inefficient.

[0006]

[The purpose of the device]

 The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its main purpose is to provide an inside mirror mounting structure that can efficiently perform the work of assembling the inside mirror body on the vehicle body side. To do.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, in a vehicle inside mirror mounting structure in which a base supporting an inside mirror is fixed to a vehicle body portion with a screw, a hole is formed in the vehicle body portion, and the hole is elastically deformed by being pushed into the base. The gist is a configuration in which a claw portion that can be passed through the hole and that is restored after passing through the hole is locked to the hole.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration, when fixing the base to the vehicle body portion with the screw, the claw portion can be locked in the hole portion of the vehicle body portion to temporarily hold the base, so that the fixing screw with one hand and the other hand. It becomes possible to carry out work while holding the tightening tool.

[0009]

【Example】

 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. The same or similar parts as in FIG. 4 are designated by the same reference numerals.

1 to 3, 1 is a vehicle body roof, 2 is a base, 3 is a base fixing screw, 4 is a nut welded to the vehicle body roof, 5 is a U-shaped spring, 6 is a falling screw, and 7 is A mirror, 8 is a mirror support stay, and 9 is a cover.

The vehicle body roof 1 is formed with two holes 10 at required portions thereof. On the other hand, the base 3 can be elastically deformed by being pushed into a portion facing the hole 10 so as to pass through the hole 10, and after being passed through, it is restored to be locked in the hole 10. The claw portion 11 thus configured is integrally provided.

In the illustrated example, the claw portion 11 has a slight allowance in one side of the hole 10 with respect to the hole 10, and the other side of the hole 10 has a chevron surface protruding outside the hole diameter. 11a, and is integrally formed with the base 3. Therefore, when the claw 11 is pushed into the hole 10, the claw 11 has its chevron surface 11a elastically tilted toward the margin side of the hole 10 and is restored after passing through the hole 10, thereby Locked at 10.

According to the above configuration, when the base 2 is fixed to the vehicle body portion with the screw 3, the base side claw portion 11 can be pushed into the hole portion 10 on the vehicle body side and locked, so that the one hand is used for fixing. The screw 3 can be attached to the base with the other hand while holding a screwdriver or other tightening tool.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, when the present invention is applied, since the base can be temporarily held, only the fixing screw and the tightening tool are required, and therefore the workability of assembling the inside mirror can be improved. Further, according to the present invention, the work of assembling the inside mirror to the vehicle body can be performed by a robot instead of a human.
