Door mirror
A mirror housing of an electric door mirror is provided with a partition wall for partitioning a mirror accommodating space and a harness accommodating space. The partition wall is provided with an opening portion for exposing a terminal portion of a mirror surface angle adjusting unit to the harness accommodating space. A peripheral edge portion of the opening portion is provided with a claw portion elastically deformed when a connector portion is pushed to the terminal portion and elastically recovered to be opposed to a back face of the connector portion to thereby prevent detachment of the connector portion after connecting the connector portion to the terminal portion. Further, a peripheral edge portion of the opening portion is provided with a guide portion for restricting a movement of the connector portion against an elastic force of the claw portion.
1. A door mirror comprising a mirror holder fixed with a mirror, a mirror surface angle adjusting unit for adjusting an angle of the mirror holder, and a mirror housing for accommodating the mirror holder and the mirror surface angle adjusting unit;
wherein a back face side of the mirror surface angle adjusting unit is provided with a terminal portion to which a feeding connector portion of a harness for supplying an external power is connected;
wherein the mirror housing is provided with a partition wall for partitioning an inner space of the mirror housing to a first space on a front side and a second space on a rear side;
wherein the partition wall is provided with an opening portion for exposing the terminal portion of the mirror surface angle adjusting unit accommodated in the second space to the first space; and
wherein a peripheral edge portion of the opening portion is provided with:
a claw portion elastically deformed in a direction orthogonal to a direction of pushing the feeding connector portion by the feeding connector portion when the feeding connector portion is pushed to the terminal portion from a side of the first space, and elastically recovered to be opposed to a back face of the feeding connector portion in the midst of pushing the feeding connector portion; and
a guide portion extended along the pushing direction to be opposed to the claw portion for restricting a movement of the feeding connector portion against an elastic force of the claw portion.
2. The door mirror according to claim 1 , wherein an end portion of the guide portion on a side of the terminal portion is formed with an auxiliary claw portion elastically deformed in the direction orthogonal to the pushing direction by the feeding connector portion and elastically recovered to be opposed to the back face of the feeding connector portion in the midst of pushing the feeding connector portion.
3. The door mirror according to claim 1 , wherein the claw portion is formed into a U-like hook shape projected to the first space along the pushing direction and folded to bend on a side of the opening portion at a middle thereof.
4. The door mirror according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of fastening components for fixing the mirror surface angle adjusting unit in the mirror housing;
wherein the back face side of the mirror surface angle adjusting unit is further provided with a plurality of fixing portions to which the plurality of fastening components is fastened;
wherein the partition wall is further provided with a plurality of insertion holes disposed to surround the opening portion for penetrating the plurality of fastening components to be fixed to the plurality of fixing portions from a side of the first space, and a plurality of reinforcing tube portions surrounding the respective insertion holes and projected to the first space along the pushing direction; and
wherein the guide portion is provided at a peripheral face of the reinforcing tube portion.
