Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To provide a good appearance and prevent the occurrence of sound while running through the air by covering both the front and rear ends of the hinge member of a door mirror with an extended part formed on a mirror base and also with an extended part formed on a mirror housing respectively. CONSTITUTION:A hinge member 11 is rotatably mounted through a hinge pin 9 onto the upper end of a bracket 12 which is fixed to a mirror base 1 with mounting screws 13, while also rotatably mounted around a shaft onto said mirror base 1 through said pin 9. The other end of the hinge member 11 is rotatably mounted with a hinge pin 7 onto a bracket 14 fixed to a mirror housing 3 with mounting screws 15. A tension spring 6 is attached to the bracket 12 through a lever 16. The front end (bottom in figure) of the hinge member 11 is covered by an extended part 3a of the edge of the mirror housing, while the rear end of the hinge member 11 is covered by an extended part 1a of the edge of the mirror base 1, thereby providing good appearance of the mirror as a whole.
