Tilted posture holding device of door mirror

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To hold a mirror housing in a tilted posture and restore it in a normal posture rapidly and easily with a simple operation by forming an inclined surface in a hook-type lip part and energizing a rotary hook by providing rotary force in a direction in which said hook is engaged. CONSTITUTION:A lip part 10b of the two lip parts 10b, 10c of a rotary hook 10, is inclined, and the bracket 11 of the rotary hook is fixed to a mirror base 2 through a mounting screw 12, while being rotatably supported by a supporting pin 13. A pillar-like member 14, which is engaged with the hook 10, is fixed to a mirror housing 3 through a bracket 15. The hook 10 is being energized counterclockwise by means of a torsion coil spring 16, while the member 14 slides over a sliding surface 10d while pushing it, making the hook 10 rotate clockwise. And, when the mirror housing 3 is tilted counterclockwise, the member 14 rides over the end of the lip part 10c and is engaged with a part between the lip parts 10b, 10c, to hold the tilted posture.
