Abstract
An exterior rear view mirror housing, which consists of at least a first housing part and a second housing part, and which comprises an opening on its rear side for a mirror glass, whereby the second housing part contains the walls surrounding the opening. The first housing part and at least one of the walls of the second housing part surrounding the opening comprise inner surfaces which face each other oppositely. On at least one of the inner surfaces which face each other oppositely, at least one ridge is arranged, which runs parallel to the rear side and extends from the one inner surface up to a remaining clearance to the opposing inner surface.
Claims13
An exterior rear view mirror assembly comprising:
- a first housing part having an inner surface;
- a second housing part fixedly secured to said first housing part, said first and second housing parts creating a housing that defines an opening on a rear side for a mirror glass, whereby said second housing part includes a wall surrounding said opening, whereby said first housing part and said wall of said second housing part surrounding said opening define opposing inner surfaces facing each other, whereby at least one ridge is arranged on at least one of said inner surfaces
- wherein
- said at least one ridge runs parallel to said rear side and extends from one of said inner surfaces to an end spaced from said opposite-facing inner surface defining a clearance, said at least one ridge increasing height in a direction of a mirror foot.
An exterior rear view mirror assembly comprising:
- an exterior rear view mirror housing having at least one base support assigned to a mirror foot arranged on a motor vehicle, said exterior rear view mirror housing including
- a first housing part and a second housing part, defining an opening on a rear side for a mirror glass, whereby said second housing part contains walls surrounding said opening, whereby said first housing part and at least one of said walls of said second housing part surrounding the opening comprise opposing inner surfaces facing each other, whereby at least one ridge is arranged on at least one inner surface wherein at least one ridge runs parallel to a rear side and extends from said one inner surface up to a clearance to said opposite-facing inner surface and gains height in the direction of the mirror foot.
An exterior rear view mirror assembly configuration for a motor vehicle, said exterior rear view mirror assembly comprising
- a mirror foot arranged on the motor vehicle, which is covered with a mirror foot cover and supporting an exterior rear view mirror;
- an exterior rear view mirror housing, which accommodates at least one base support assigned to said mirror foot arranged on the motor vehicle, said
- exterior rear view mirror housing consists of at least a first housing part and a second housing part defining an opening on a rear side for a mirror glass, whereby said second housing part contains walls surrounding the opening, whereby said first housing part and at least one of said walls of said second housing part surrounding said opening includes opposing inner surfaces facing each other, whereby at least one ridge is arranged on at least one of said opposing inner surfaces wherein said at least one ridge runs parallel to said rear side and extends from one of said opposing inner surfaces up to a position spaced from the other of said opposing inner surfaces and gains height in the direction of said mirror foot.
