Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a mounting structure for a gasket for supporting a vehicle mirror.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of mirror body is attached to the vehicle outer panel through a gasket made of a soft material in order to prevent the approximately L-shaped base that supports the mirror body from damaging the vehicle outer panel. was. Of course, this gasket was useful for preventing rainwater leakage and for absorbing clearance.

To explain the conventional gasket mounting structure with reference to FIG. 5, a base 2 made of a hard material that supports a mirror body 1 is attached to the outside skin of the vehicle via a gasket 4 made of a soft material so as not to damage the outside skin 3 of the vehicle. Attach to. This gasket 4 covers the entire mounting surface of the base and is attached to the base by applying a strong adhesive or by arranging double-sided tape at several locations on the contact surface of the base.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the conventional gasket mounting structure described above, when double-sided tape is used to simplify the work of attaching the gasket to the base, it requires a large amount of man-hours to attach the tape, and In addition to being difficult to position, the gasket easily peels off during transportation from the mirror manufacturer to the automaker and during installation at the automaker, especially from the periphery that protrudes from the outer periphery of the base. . Also, when using strong adhesive to prevent the gasket from peeling off, the work of attaching the gasket should be done as follows:
It is necessary to hold the gasket until the adhesive dries, and it is difficult to position it when pasting.
Work efficiency decreased. In addition, the adhesive inevitably oozes out, and the clearance between the base and the vehicle exterior panel increases, which impairs the aesthetic appearance and causes problems such as rainwater leakage.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a gasket mounting structure for a back mirror, which allows the base and gasket to be reliably positioned, and which can be mounted without fear of the gasket peeling off after pasting, and without causing scratches on the vehicle exterior panel. .

[Means for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, this invention has a structure on the vehicle outer panel at a position corresponding to the mounting side peripheral edge of the base, and between the flange facing the vehicle outer panel and the center of the flange. A plurality of clips integrally formed with a protruding small diameter main body are provided. A plurality of stepped through-holes are formed in the gasket so that the flange and the small-diameter main body can be fitted into each other, and an adhesive or double-sided tape is provided on the tip surface of the small-diameter main body that passes through the through-holes and is exposed. It is characterized in that it is bonded to a recess formed in the peripheral edge of the base attachment side at a position corresponding to the through hole.

[Function] After fitting the through hole of the gasket into the clip on the vehicle outer plate and positioning it between the small diameter body and the flange of the clip, insert the top of the small diameter body into the recess in the vehicle outer plate mounting peripheral part of the base. The attachment of the gasket to the base is completed immediately by applying the adhesive.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a gasket mounting structure of this invention, with a part omitted, of an embodiment, and Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a gasket mounting structure of this invention. FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of a main part A in FIG. 1;

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a base 2 is attached to a vehicle outer panel 3 with a gasket 4 interposed therebetween. base 2
The shaft 11 is erected to rotatably support the mirror body 1. A plurality of flange portions 5a facing the vehicle outer plate and a small diameter main body 5b protruding from the center of the flange portion are integrally formed on the vehicle outer plate 3 at a position corresponding to the mounting side peripheral edge 2a of the base 2. A clip 5 is provided.

A plurality of stepped through holes 4a are formed in the gasket 4, into which the flange portion and the small diameter main body can be fitted,
Adhesive or double-sided tape 8 is provided on the tip surface 6 of the small-diameter main body 5b exposed through the through-holes 4a, and is adhered to the recesses 7 formed in the base attachment side peripheral portion 2a at positions corresponding to each through-hole.

Thereby, the clip 5 can securely attach the gasket 4 to the peripheral edge of the base 2.

Although Figures 1 and 2 show a gasket mounting structure using only one clip 5, clips with various shapes can be used to adapt to the shape of the base periphery and the shape of the gasket. be done.

FIG. 3 is a front view showing the combined state of the gasket 4 and clip 5. 4a to 4d show various shapes of the gasket 4. FIG. Flange 5 of clip 5
In this figure, a is formed into a triangle, a circle, a quadrilateral, etc., and the clip small diameter main body 5b is formed into a cylinder, a hexahedron, etc.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, the present invention uses the through-holes of the clips provided on the vehicle outer panel to position the gaskets and then attaches the bases, making the work of attaching the gaskets and the bases easier, faster, and more efficient. It has great effects and can be implemented well.

The clips that attach several parts of the base to the base are fixed to the base using adhesive or double-sided tape at the tips, so there is no adhesive sticking out and the clearance between the base and the vehicle's outer skin is constant. Moreover, once the gasket is adhesively fixed, it is completely prevented from peeling off.

Furthermore, when the car manufacturer installs the mirror, the gasket does not come off from the base, so the mirror installation work can be carried out efficiently without causing any damage to the vehicle's outer panel.
