In a vehicular door mirror device, a main body section of a motor is supported by an assembly tube of a case in a horizontal direction, and a gear plate is supported by a support tube of the case in the horizontal direction. Therefore, dimensional variation in the horizontal direction between central axis lines of an output shaft of the motor and the gear plate can be suppressed, and variation in meshing amount of a worm gear of the output shaft and the gear plate, and a worm shaft, can be suppressed.

An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror head having a mirror casing and a mirror reflective element. A mounting arm is configured for attachment at a side of the vehicle, with the mirror head adjustably mounted at the mounting arm. An adjustment mechanism adjusts the mirror head position relative to the mounting arm between a retracted position and an extended position. The adjustment mechanism, when adjusting the mirror head position, also adjusts a mirror head angle relative to the side of the vehicle. When the mirror head is in the retracted position, a mirror head surface is at a first plane, while, when the mirror head is in the extended position, the mirror head surface is at a second plane. The mirror head surface is angled more towards the side of the vehicle when in the second plane than when in the first plane.

A viewing control device for a vehicle has: an in/out motor that changes a viewing range of a periphery of a vehicle with respect to a vehicle occupant due to driving electric power, which is greater than or equal to a preset electric power, being applied to the in/out motor; and an ECU that, in a case of establishment of a predetermined condition that is before establishment of a preset change condition under which the viewing range is changed, applies a preset initial electric power to the in/out motor via a mirror surface driving driver.

This invention relates to a view angle adjustment mechanism that causes a view element tilting section holding a view element to be supported by a tilting support section via a forcible fitting-type pivot to perform view angle adjustment. A pivot is assembled by forcible fitting between a pivot convex and a pivot concave. The pivot convex includes a spherical surface. The pivot concave includes a surface formed by arranging two conical surfaces so as to face in respective directions opposite to each other along a center axis X of the pivot concave. The spherical surface of the pivot convex is inscribed in the two conical surfaces of the pivot concave.

This invention relates to a view angle adjustment mechanism. A view element tilting section is tiltably supported by a tilting support section via an inner pivot and an outer pivot. The view element tilting section includes a view element holder holding a view element. The inner pivot and the outer pivot are formed between the tilting support section and the view element holder. The outer pivot has a structure in which an outer-pivot convex surface formed at the view element holder and an outer-pivot concave surface formed at the tilting support section are slidably fitted together. The outer-pivot convex surface is formed in an outer circumferential surface of an outer-pivot convex surface-forming annular wall formed at a back surface of the view element holder in an integrated manner.

This invention relates to a view angle adjustment mechanism that causes a view element tilting section holding a view element to be supported by a tilting support section via a plurality of concentric pivots having different diameters, to perform view angle adjustment. An inner pivot is assembled by forcible fitting using elasticity of either or both of a pivot convex and a pivot concave without screw fastening. An outer pivot includes a plurality of elastic pieces disposed at a plurality of positions in a circumferential direction of a curved surface of either or each of both of an outer-pivot convex surface and an outer-pivot concave surface. The outer pivot is assembled by the forcible fitting in the inner pivot. The assembly causes the plurality of elastic pieces to elastically abut on an opposed curved surface.

This invention relates to a view angle adjustment mechanism. A view element tilting section is tiltably supported by the tilting support section. Upon a motor being driven, a nut member rotates together with a gear member, the nut member rises/falls along a male thread member, whereby the view element tilting section is tilted. At a barrel of the nut member, a protrusion is formed. The protrusion is fitted in a groove of the gear member and causes the nut member to rotate together with the gear member. At the tilting support section, a protrusion abutment portion is formed. When the nut member moves in a direction in which the nut member comes off from the male thread member, the protrusion abutment portion abuts on the protrusion and thereby prevents movement of the nut member.
