Secondary mirror mounting structure of vehicle rear view mirror

Abstract

A secondary mirror mounting structure of vehicle rearview mirror mainly comprises a mirror frame of a secondary mirror pivotally connected to a connection arm. Another end of the connection arm is upwardly extended to have an extension end toward the mirror frame. The extension end is fixedly connected with a platform. The platform and the connection arm are vertically arranged. The platform is protruded with a block edge corresponding to a mirror surface end of the secondary mirror. A protrusion direction of the block edge is vertical the platform, and extended to be back on a direction of the connection arm. A double-sided tape or glue is pasted on the platform. Afterward the platform is attached to an external edge of a mirror frame of a rearview mirror, and the block edge is regulated to buckle a front edge of the mirror frame in front of the rearview mirror. A force is applied to allow the double-sided tape or glue to be fastened with the external edge of the mirror frame. Accordingly, the secondary mirror can be easily fastened on the rearview mirror.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] The technical characteristics, contents, advantages and effects of the present invention will be apparent with the detailed description accompanied with related drawings of preferred embodiments as follows.

[0022] With reference to FIGS. 37, a secondary mirror 3 according to the embodiment of the invention comprises a mirror frame 30. A mirror surface 31 is inserted to a mirror frame opening of the mirror frame 30. One end of a connection arm 32 has a sphere 320 (as shown in FIGS. 57). The sphere 320 is inserted to a concave hole 300 disposed on a top surface of the mirror frame 30 to achieve pivot connection. A diameter of a hole opening 301 is slightly smaller than the maximum diameter of inner hole of the concave hole 300, and a circle diameter of the sphere 320 is equivalent to an internal diameter of the concave hole 300 so that the sphere 320 does not easily come off the concave hole 300. Another end of the connection arm 32 is outwardly extended to have an extension end 321. A main improvement of the invention is that:

[0023] A length of the extension end 321 of the connection arm 32 exceeds the mirror frame 30 to fixedly connect a platform 33. The platform 33 is vertically arranged with the connection arm 32. The platform 33 is protruded with a block edge 34 corresponding to the mirror surface 31 of the secondary mirror 3. A protrusion direction of the block edge 34 is vertical the platform 3 and extended to be back on a direction of the connection arm 32.

[0024] When the secondary mirror 3 is mounted to a rearview mirror 34 inside a vehicle, the platform 33 is first pasted with a double-sided tape 35 or glue. Afterward the platform 33 is attached to an external edge 41 of a mirror frame 40 of the rearview mirror 4 inside the vehicle, and the block edge 34 is regulated to be buckled to a front edge 42 of the mirror frame 40 in front of the rearview mirror 4. The double-sided tape 45 or glue on the platform 33 is imposed with force to fix an external edge 41 of the mirror frame 40 of the rearview mirror 4 in the vehicle so that the secondary mirror 3 can be easily fastened on the rearview mirror 4 as shown in FIGS. 8, 9, 10.

[0025] The secondary mirror 3 can be fastened on the rearview mirror 4 in the vehicle. In addition, it can also be fastened on a rearview mirrors 5 outside the vehicle as shown in FIGS. 11, 12. The mounting manner is depicted as stated above.

[0026] Therefore, the application does not need to use primary secondary mirror mode or rely on drilling tools incorporated with screw members. The secondary mirror can be easily fastened on the rearview mirror. Moreover, since the whole area of the platform 33 is entirely glued with the external edge 41 of the mirror frame 40 of the rearview mirror 4, and the block edge 34 is buckled to the front edge 42 of the mirror frame 40 in front of the rearview mirror 4, the secondary mirror 3 can be extremely and steadily fastened to the rearview mirror 4.

[0027] While the present invention has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention set forth in the claims.
