Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mirror base for mounting a mirror body on a car and, more particularly, to a mirror base integrally molded of resin.
  • a mirror body of a car door mirror or the like is generally mounted through a mirror base on a car.

  • nut bushes or stud bolts for mounting to the car are fixed to mounting bosses by such means as heating and press fitting in a post-process.
  • the conventional mirror bases as described above had to be integrally molded of the high-rigidity resin or die casting material, in order to secure the flexural strength of the support piece relative to the mount piece.
  • the high-rigidity resin materials are generally expensive, there arises a problem of high production cost.
  • the die casting materials have a problem of increase in weight, as compared with the resin materials.
  • the present invention provides a mirror base that can secure sufficient flexural strength of the support piece relative to the mount piece, without being integrally molded of the high-rigidity resin or die casting material.
