Abstract

A door mirror includes a first attachment section in which an abutting portion is provided at a plating visor so as to extend along a vehicle up-down direction, and in which a restricting portion that abuts the abutting portion is provided at a visor cover; and a second attachment section in which an engagement portion is provided at the plating visor so as to extend along the vehicle up-down direction, and in which a catch portion that engages with the engagement portion is provided at the visor cover.

Claims14

Dependent claims

A door mirror device comprising:

a first cover that structures a casing covering a mirror provided at a vehicle door;
a second cover that structures the casing, having an edge that faces an edge of the first cover;
a first attachment section that is configured to include an abutting portion protruding from the side of the edge of one of the first cover or the second cover so as to extend along an inside surface of the casing, to which the abutting portion faces, and a restricting portion provided at the other of the first cover or the second cover, the restricting portion confining the abutting portion in a plate thickness direction of a plate of the casing such that movement of the first cover with respect to the second cover in the plate thickness direction is restricted;
and
a second attachment section that is configured to include an engagement portion protruding from the edge of one of the first cover or the second cover so as to extend along the inside surface of the casing to which the engagement portion faces, and a catch portion provided at the other of the first cover or the second cover, the catch portion engaging with the engagement portion such that movement of the first cover with respect to the second cover along the inside surface of the casing and in a direction orthogonal to the plate thickness direction is stopped,
wherein the abutting portion includes:
an abutting portion-base portion that protrudes from the side of the edge of the one of the first cover or the second cover toward an inner side of the casing, and
an abutting portion-main body portion that extends from the abutting portion-base portion along the inside surface of the casing in the vicinity of the abutting portion-base portion, and
wherein the restricting portion includes:
a restricting portion-base portion that protrudes from the other of the first cover or the second cover toward the inner side of the casing, and
a restricting portion-main body portion that extends from the restricting portion-base portion such that an outer face of the restricting portion-main body portion faces, in the plate thickness direction at the vicinity of the restricting portion-base portion, an inside surface of the other of the first cover or the second cover in the vicinity of the restricting portion-base portion, and
wherein
a space is formed in the plate thickness direction at the vicinity of the restricting portion-base portion between the outer face and the inside surface, and
the abutting portion-main body portion is disposed in the space, and the abutting portion-main body portion is arranged between the outer face and the inside surface in the plate thickness direction at the vicinity of the restricting portion-base portion.
