Vehicle door mirror device
A vehicle door mirror device includes a mirror housing that has as some of constituent elements thereof a housing main body having fixed thereto an actuator for driving the mirror so as to tilt the mirror in a fore-and-aft direction and a left-and-right direction, a support shaft that is standingly provided on a mirror base mounted on a front side door, and an electric retraction unit that is pivotably supported on the support shaft and is fixed to the housing main body while being housed within the mirror housing so as to exert power for pivoting the mirror housing around an axis of the support shaft between a retracted position and a raised position, wherein fastening directions for fastening members that fasten the electric retraction unit and the actuator to the housing main body are set in the same direction.
1. A vehicle door mirror device comprising a mirror housing that has as part of constituent elements thereof
a housing main body having a mirror housing recess part in which a mirror is housed and having fixed thereto an actuator for driving the mirror so as to tilt the mirror in a fore-and-aft direction and a left-and-right direction,
a support shaft that is standingly provided on a mirror base to be mounted on a front side door, and
an electric retraction unit that is pivotably supported on the support shaft and is fixed to the housing main body while being housed within the mirror housing so as to exert power for pivoting the mirror housing around an axis of the support shaft between a retracted position and a raised position,
wherein fastening directions for fastening members that fasten the electric retraction unit and the actuator to the housing main body are set exclusively in the same direction;
wherein the actuator and the electric retraction unit are fastened to the housing main body separately and the fastening directions of the electric retraction unit and the actuator to the housing main body are maintained in the same direction;
wherein the electric retraction unit and the actuator are each directly fastened to the housing main body;
wherein the housing main body is arranged between the actuator and the electric retraction unit; and
wherein all the fastening members that fasten the electric retraction unit to the housing main body and all the fastening members that fasten the actuator to the housing main body are arranged parallel to each other.
2. The vehicle door mirror device according to claim 1 , wherein the electric retraction unit is fastened to the housing main body by using a first set of the fastening members, and the actuator is fastened to the housing main body by using a second set of the fastening members, which is separate from the first set of the fastening members.
3. The vehicle door mirror device according to claim 1 , further comprising a mirror holder attached to the actuator, said mirror holder being configured to hold the mirror;
wherein the actuator and the electric retraction unit are fastened to the housing main body such that the fastening of the actuator to the housing main body includes the mirror holder in a state in which it holds the mirror being assembled onto the actuator, and the actuator in a state in which the mirror holder holding the mirror has been assembled thereon being fastened to the housing main body, and the fastening of the electric retraction unit to the housing main body includes one of the electric retraction unit being assembled onto the mirror base, and the electric retraction unit in a state in which it is fixed to the housing main body being assembled onto the mirror base.
4. A vehicle door mirror device comprising a mirror housing that has as part of constituent elements thereof
a housing main body having a mirror housing recess part in which a mirror is housed and having fixed thereto an actuator for driving the mirror so as to tilt the mirror in a fore-and-aft direction and a left-and-right direction,
a support shaft that is standingly provided on a mirror base to be mounted on a front side door, and
an electric retraction unit that is pivotably supported on the support shaft and is fixed to the housing main body while being housed within the mirror housing so as to exert power for pivoting the mirror housing around an axis of the support shaft between a retracted position and a raised position,
wherein fastening directions for fastening members that fasten the electric retraction unit and the actuator to the housing main body are set exclusively in the same direction;
wherein the actuator and the electric retraction unit are adapted to be fastened to the housing main body simultaneously while maintaining the fastening directions of the electric retraction unit and the actuator to the housing main body in the same direction;
wherein the electric retraction unit and the actuator are each directly fastened to the housing main body;
wherein the housing main body is arranged between the actuator and the electric retraction unit; and
wherein all the fastening members that fasten the electric retraction unit to the housing main body and all the fastening members that fasten the actuator to the housing main body are arranged parallel to each other.
