Abstract
A mirror base according to the present invention secures sufficient flexural strength of a support piece relative to a mount piece thanks to a reinforcing core member buried across the mount piece and the support piece, whereby the mount piece and support piece do not have to be integrally molded of a high-rigidity resin or die casting material, but can be integrally molded of a lightweight, inexpensive resin material. Since the core member is provided with mounting nut portions bordering a mounting surface of the mount piece and integrally molded with the core member, there is no need for a post-process of fixing mounting nut bushes or stud bolts to mounting bosses, for example, by heating and press fitting as needed before.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- 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.
- 2. Related Background Art
- A mirror body of a car door mirror or the like is generally mounted through a mirror base on a car. The mirror base is normally comprised of a mount piece fixed to a door or the like of a car; and a support piece laterally projecting from the mount piece aside from the car and supporting the mirror base, which are integrally molded of a resin material or a die casting material. In the mount piece of the mirror base integrally molded of the resin material, 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. In this case, since 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.
- A mirror base according to the present invention is a mirror base comprising a mount piece for mounting on a car; and a support piece projecting from the mount piece and adapted to support a mirror body, which are integrally molded of a resin, wherein a reinforcing core member is buried inside across the mount piece and the support piece.
- Since the mirror base according to the present invention has the reinforcing core member buried across the mount piece and the support piece, it can secure sufficient flexural strength of the support piece relative to the mount piece. For this reason, the mount piece and support piece do not have to be integrally molded of a high-rigidity resin material, but they can be integrally molded of an inexpensive resin material.
- The core member forming the mirror base of the present invention can be comprised of one selected from welded structures of metal, pressed products, and die-cast products, or one selected from high-rigidity resin molding and FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics). The core member is preferably provided with a rib for enhancing the flexural rigidity of the support piece relative to the mount piece, because it permits reduction in thickness and weight of the core member.
- The core member is preferably provided with a mounting bolt portion or a mounting nut portion bordering a mounting surface of the mount piece, because it obviates the need for the conventionally required post-process of fixing the mounting nut to the mount piece by heating and press fitting.
- Furthermore, the core member is preferably comprised of a pressed product in which a continuous flange is formed in a marginal region thereof, because the core member can demonstrate high flexural rigidity while being light in weight.

Among the drawings referred to, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the mirror base according to an embodiment, FIG. 2 a perspective view showing the structure of the core member shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 an enlarged sectional view of a mounting nut portion shown in FIG. 2.
- As shown in FIG. 1, the mirror base in the embodiment is constructed as
mirror base 1 of door mirror equipment which is to be mounted on the door part of a car not shown. Themirror base 1 is comprised of amount piece 1A for mounting on the door part of the car; and asupport piece 1B laterally projecting from themount piece 1A aside the car and adapted to supportmirror body 2, which are integrally molded of a resin, and reinforcingcore member 3 is buried inside across themount piece 1A and thesupport piece 1B. - The
mount piece 1A andsupport piece 1B are integrally molded of an appropriate resin material by insert molding in a state in which thecore member 3 is set inside an injection molding mold. Themount piece 1A is a portion to be mounted on an unrepresented gusset plate disposed at the front corner part of the door frame of the car, and is molded in an approximately triangular thick-plate shape corresponding to the shape of the gusset plate. Thesupport piece 1B is formed in a thick-plate shape bent and projecting from the lower part of the rear half of themount piece 1A, and the angle of flection thereof is approximately 70-90°. - Here the
core member 3 is comprised, for example as shown in FIG. 2, of a pressed product of a steel plate in which acontinuous flange 3A is formed in a marginal region thereof. Thiscore member 3 is formed as follows: a support-piece core 3C buried in thesupport piece 1B is bent at the angle of approximately 70-90°, as thesupport piece 1B was, relative to a mount-piece core 3B buried in themount piece 1A with a projecting surface offlange 3A inside. - The mount-
piece core 3B of thecore member 3 is provided, for example, with three mountingnut portions 3D for mounting on the gusset plate with bolts, which project on the exterior surface side. Eachmounting nut portion 3D is, as shown in FIG. 3, a portion in which female screw 3D2 is threaded by tapping on the inner periphery of cylinder 3D1 formed by burring and in which the tip part of the nut portion borders a mounting surface 1A1 of themount piece 1A. Although in the illustrated example the tip part of themounting nut portion 3D projects out from the mounting surface 1A1, themounting nut portion 3D may be formed so that the tip face thereof is at almost the same level as the mounting surface 1A1. - On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the support-
piece core 3C of thecore member 3 is provided withshaft passing holes 3E for interconnection witharm part 2A of themirror body 2 shown in FIG. 1, which are formed, for example, at three positions. An inflectional portion between the mount-piece core 3B and the support-piece core 3C of thecore member 3 is provided, for example, with twobeads 3F of an angle cross section projecting on the interior surface side, which are formed as ribs for enhancing the flexural rigidity. - The
mirror base 1 of the embodiment constructed as described above is mounted as follows: themount piece 1A is mounted on the gusset plate of the car by screwing bolts into the threemounting nut portions 3D bordering the mounting surface 1A1 of themount piece 1A, from the gusset plate side of the car not shown. Then, in this mounted state, themirror body 2 is supported on thesupport piece 1B projecting from themount piece 1A (see FIG. 1). - Here the
core member 3 itself, buried across themount piece 1A and thesupport piece 1B of themirror base 1 as shown in FIG. 1, has high flexural rigidity and it demonstrates much higher flexural rigidity thanks to theflange 3A and thebeads 3F as ribs shown in FIG. 2. For this reason, themirror base 1 is reinforced by thecore member 3 to secure the sufficient flexural strength of thesupport piece 1B relative to themount piece 1A, and thesupport piece 1B can withstand the load of 30 kgf, for example. - Since in the
mirror base 1 of the embodiment thecore member 3 is comprised of the pressed product of the steel plate with high flexural rigidity having theflange 3A andbeads 3F as ribs, the weight of themirror base 1 can be reduced by decreasing the thickness of thecore member 3. - Since the
core member 3 is integrally formed with themounting nut portions 3D bordering the mounting surface 1A1 of themount piece 1A, the production process thereof obviates the need for the post-process of fixing the mounting nuts to the mount piece by heating and press fitting as required in the conventional example, whereby the production process can be simplified. - Particularly, in the
mirror base 1 of the embodiment, since thecore member 3 is buried so as to secure the sufficient flexural rigidity of thesupport piece 1B relative to themount piece 1A, themount piece 1A and thesupport piece 1B do not have to be integrally molded of the high-rigidity resin material, but they can be integrally molded of an inexpensive, appropriate resin material. - FIGS.4 to 11 show modification examples of the
core member 3 forming themirror base 1 of the embodiment. Thecore member 4 shown in FIG. 4 is a pressed product in whichflange 4A, mount-piece core 4B, support-piece core 4C,shaft passing holes 4E, andbeads 4F, which correspond to theflange 3A, mount-piece core 3B, support-piece core 3C,shaft passing holes 3E, andbeads 3F of thecore member 3 shown in FIG. 2, are integrally formed by pressing. - The
core member 4 is provided, for example, with a wide,long bead 4G of an arcuate cross section, which is formed as a rib for enhancing the flexural rigidity of the support-piece core 4C relative to the mount-piece core 4B, across the mount-piece core 4B and the support-piece core 4C. The mount-piece core 4B is provided with hemispherically curved,embossed portions 4H for enhancing the flexural rigidity, which project toward the interior. As shown in FIG. 12, nuts 4J, replacing the mountingnut portions 3D shown in FIG. 3, are welded to the outer surface of the mount-piece core 4B. - Since the
core member 4 is provided with thelarge bead 4G andembossed portions 4H (see FIG. 4) in addition to theflange 4A andbeads 4F, it can demonstrate much higher flexural rigidity and surely secure the flexural strength of the support-piece core 4C relative to the mount-piece core 4B, whereby it can surely reinforce themirror base 1, so as to further enhance the flexural strength of thesupport piece 1B relative to themount piece 1A. - The
core member 5 shown in FIG. 5 is a pressed product in whichflange 5A, mount-piece core 5B, support-piece core 5C, mounting nut portions SD, and beads SF, which correspond to theflange 3A, mount-piece core 3B, support-piece core 3C, mountingnut portions 3D, andbeads 3F of thecore member 3 shown in FIG. 2, are integrally formed by pressing. - The
core member 5 is provided with abead 5G similar to thebead 4G shown in FIG. 4, and thebead 5G is formed as a rib for enhancing the flexural rigidity of the support-piece core 5C relative to the mount-piece core 5B, across the mount-piece core 5B and the support-piece core 5C. The support-piece core 5C is provided with ashaft portion 5H, which replaces the shafts to be inserted into theshaft passing holes 3E shown in FIG. 2. Theshaft portion 5H is of a large-diameter cylinder shape projecting upward from the inner surface of the support-piece core 5C. Theshaft portion 5H may also be constructed by inserting a cylindrical shaft of a separate part into a large-diameter shaft passing hole bored in the support-piece core 5C. - This
core member 5 can also demonstrate high flexural rigidity thanks to theflange 5A,beads 5F, andbead 5G and secure sufficient flexural strength of the support-piece core 5C relative to the mount-piece core 5B, whereby it can reinforce themirror base 1, so as to secure the sufficient flexural strength of thesupport piece 1B relative to themount piece 1A. - The
core member 6 shown in FIG. 6 is comprised of two parts: mount-piece core 6A buried in themount piece 1A (see FIG. 1); and support-piece core 6B buried in thesupport piece 1B (see FIG. 1). The mount-piece core 6A is a pressed product of a steel plate in which acontinuous flange 6C is formed in the marginal region thereof, and the support-piece core 6B is made of a short, rectangular steel pipe. - The support-
piece core 6B is fitted inflange 6D along the peripheral edge of an aperture formed in the lower part of the mount-piece core 6A, and projects out on the inner surface side of the mount-piece core 6A where theflange 6C projects.Shaft passing holes 6E, similar to those 3E shown in FIG. 2, are formed through and in an upper surface of the support-piece core 6B.Nuts 6F, similar to those 4J, are welded to the outer surface of the mount-piece core 6A on the other side than theflange 6C side, as shown in FIG. 12. - Since this

core member 7 shown in FIG. 7 is comprised of a pressed product of a steel plate, in which the support-piece core 7B buried in thesupport piece 1B (see FIG. 1) is bent at the angle of approximately 70-90° relative to the mount-piece core 7A buried in themount piece 1A (see FIG. 1). Thiscore member 7 is provided with abead 7C extending longitudinally across the mount-piece core 7A and the support-piece core 7B, as a rib for securing the flexural rigidity of the support-piece core 7B relative to the mount-piece core 7A. Thisbead 7C projects out on the outer surface side of the mount-piece core 7A and support-piece core 7B and, for example, in a horseshoe sectional shape so as to form a trench on the inner surface side of the mount-piece core 7A and support-piece core 7B, and it demonstrates extremely high flexural rigidity against the load acting from the top on the support-piece core 7B. -
Flanges 7D, projecting in the same direction as thebead 7C, are integrally formed in the portions other than the upper edge of the mount-piece core 7A and the projection end of the support-piece core 7B in thecore member 7.Shaft passing holes 7E, similar to those 3E shown in FIG. 2, are formed through and in the support-piece core 7B.Nuts 7F similar to those 4J are welded to the outer surface of the mount-piece core 7A, as shown in FIG. 12. - Since the
bead 7C demonstrates the extremely high flexural rigidity against the load acting from the top on the support-piece core 7B and theflanges 7D also demonstrate some flexural rigidity in collaboration therewith, thecore member 7 can secure the sufficient flexural strength of the support-piece core 7B relative to the mount-piece core 7A and surely reinforce themirror base 1, so as to secure the sufficient flexural strength of thesupport piece 1B relative to themount piece 1A. - The
core member 8 shown in FIG. 8 is a die-cast product, an injection-molded product of a high-rigidity resin, or an FRP product in which the mount-piece core 8A buried in themount piece 1A (see FIG. 1) and the support-piece core 8B buried in thesupport piece 1B (see FIG. 1) are integrally formed. The mount-piece core 8A is formed in an L-shaped thick block shape and the support-piece core 8B in a thick plate shape. This support-piece core 8B projects at the angle of approximately 70-90° from the lower part near the crook of the mount-piece core 8A. - Screw holes8C as mounting nut portions are formed at three positions in the both-end and middle crook regions of the mount-
piece core 8A. Acylindrical shaft portion 8D with a large diameter, which replaces the shafts to be inserted into theshaft passing holes 3E shown in FIG. 2, projects out on the upper surface of the support-piece core 8B. - Since the mount-
piece core 8A and support-piece core 8B are integrally molded in the thick shape, thecore member 8 can demonstrate high flexural rigidity and secure the sufficient flexural strength of the support-piece core 8B relative to the mount-piece core 8A, whereby it can reinforce themirror base 1, so as to secure the sufficient flexural strength of thesupport piece 1B relative to themount piece 1A. - The
core member 9 shown in FIGS. 9-11 is a welded structure of a metal plate, in which the support-piece core 9B buried in thesupport piece 1B (see FIG. 1) is welded so as to project at the angle of approximately 70-90°, to the lower part of the rear half of the mount-piece core 9A buried in themount piece 1A (see FIG. 1). As shown in FIG. 10,flanges 9C for enhancing flexural rigidity are welded so as to project on the outer surface side, to the marginal region of the mount-piece core 9A. Threenut members 9D forming the mounting nut portions are welded to the outer surface of the mount-piece core 9A. Theflanges 9C are welded so as to be continuous through thenut members 9D. -
Ribs piece core 9B relative to the mount-piece core 9A are welded to the bottom surface of the support-piece core 9B, as shown in FIG. 11. Theribs piece core 9B and their base ends are welded to the lower part of the inner surface of the mount-piece core 9A while butting against it. - Since this
core member 9 can demonstrate high flexural rigidity thanks to theflanges 9C andribs piece core 8B relative to the mount-piece core 8A, it can reinforce themirror base 1, so as to secure the sufficient flexural strength of thesupport piece 1B relative to themount piece 1A. - The. mirror base according to the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. For example, the mounting
nut portions 3D of the mount-piece core 3B shown in FIG. 3 can be changed into the mounting bolt portions or mounting nut portions as shown in FIGS. 13-19. - The mounting
bolt portion 13 shown in FIG. 13 is a portion in which amale screw 13B is threaded on the outer periphery ofcylinder 13A formed by burring. This mountingbolt portion 13 is set through the gusset plate of the car not shown, and a nut is screwed onto the tip part of the bolt portion, whereby themount piece 1A of themirror base 1 is mounted on the gusset plate as shown in FIG. 1. - The mounting
