## Abstract

A door mirror has a frame mounted to a front surface of a door mirror housing and a door mirror storage unit installed at the frame. The door mirror includes an engagement piece formed at the frame and protruding in a direction of an axis of a rotational movement; and a receiving portion formed at a wall portion of the door mirror housing along the direction of the axis of the rotational movement and receiving the engagement piece from one direction of the axis of the rotational movement. The receiving portion is exposed to a front surface of the wall, and a stopping portion extending along the direction of the axis of the rotational movement and facing a front surface of the engagement piece is installed at the receiving portion.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A door mirror having a frame mounted to a front surface of a door mirror housing and a door mirror storage unit installed at the frame, the door mirror housing and the frame being integrally rotatable about an axis of a rotational movement of the door mirror storage unit, the door mirror comprising:
an engagement piece formed at the frame and protruding in a direction of the axis of the rotational movement; and
a receiving portion formed at a wall portion of the door mirror housing along the direction of the axis of the rotational movement and receiving the engagement piece from one direction of the axis of the rotational movement,
wherein the receiving portion is exposed to a front surface of the wall portion, and a stopping portion extending along the direction of the axis of the rotational movement and facing a front surface of the engagement piece is installed at the receiving portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The door mirror according to claim 1, comprising:
a screw insertion hole formed at the frame, through which a screw is inserted; and
a screw hole formed on the front surface of the door mirror housing, with which the screw is screw-assembled.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The door mirror according to claim 2, wherein
a protrusion protruding forward from a portion around the screw hole is formed at the door mirror housing; and
a locking portion facing an outer peripheral surface of the protrusion from another side of the direction of the axis of the rotational movement is formed at the frame,

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The door mirror according to claim 3, wherein a gap is formed between the locking portion and the outer peripheral surface of the protrusion.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The door mirror according to claim 1, wherein the front surface of the engagement piece is in contact with a rear surface of the stopping portion.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The door mirror according to claim 1, wherein
a reference pin extending along the direction of the axis of the rotational movement is formed at the frame,
a reference pin insertion hole protruding forward, through which the reference pin is inserted, is formed at the wall portion of the door mirror housing, and
positions of the frame in the left-right direction and in the front-rear direction are determined as the reference pin is inserted through the reference pin insertion hole.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The door mirror according to claim 1, wherein only a cover constituting a design surface is disposed on a front surface of the frame as a component relating to the structure.
