Abstract

A door mirror set plate is formed of synthetic resin. On a base plate, a support shaft is vertically provided to rotatively support a door mirror body. A curved surface section is embedded at an outside periphery of a base of the support shaft. A flat section is formed to support a thrust washer so as to cross the curved surface section. Inside the support shaft, there is formed a wiring hole provided with a large diameter section, a small diameter section, and a step section. When a conducting wire is inserted into the wiring hole, the tip of a covering touches the step section for positioning. A stopper and a positioning protrusion are integrally formed on a base plate top surface. The stopper restricts rotational angles of the door mirror body. The positioning protrusion holds the door mirror body at a neutral position.

Claims (8)

1. A door mirror set plate comprising:

a synthetic resin base plate attached to a vehicle;

a cylindrical support shaft which is vertically provided on the base plate integrally therewith and rotatively supports a door mirror body storing a mirror plate; and

a curved surface section which is embedded around a base of the support shaft on the base plate;

wherein the curved surface section curvedly connects an external surface of the support shaft with a top surface of the base plate,

wherein the curved surface section is disposed below the top surface of the base plate, and

wherein there is provided a flat section for supporting a thrust washer which is formed at an outside periphery of the support shaft base on the top surface of the base plate at the same level as the top surface of the base plate and which connects between the external surface of the support shaft and the top surface of the base plate by crossing the curved surface section.

2. The door mirror set plate according to claim 1 , wherein the flat section is formed radially on an outside periphery of the support shaft base.
