A rotation range control mechanism includes a clutch holder provided around a shaft, a washer fixed to a casing, a control convex portion arranged on the clutch holder, and contact portions arranged on the washer.

Vehicle outside mirror device

A holding member integrally includes a bearing pair that rotatably support at least one gear of rotation-force transmission mechanism.

Vehicle mirror device

A holding member includes a bearing that receives a thrust force of at least one of a first gear and a second gear. The first gear and the second gear are in a non-contact state in a thrust direction.

A fixing member is separate from a bearing member, and suppresses a radial force acting on a gear that meshes with a final-stage gear of a rotation-force transmission mechanism that transmits a rotational force to a mirror assembly of an outside mirror device for a vehicle.

An outside mirror device for a vehicle includes a mirror assembly that is rotatably attached to a body of the vehicle through an electric retracting unit and a base. The electric retracting unit includes bearing portions at both ends of a first stage gear of a rotational force transmitting mechanism. The bearing portions are supported by bearing holes in the bearing member as a single member, respectively.

A vehicle outside mirror includes a drive unit that generates a driving force, a plate that holds the drive unit, a drive gear that transmits the driving force from the drive unit, a gearcase having a housing for the drive gear, a fixing unit that fixes the plate and the gearcase in an integrated manner, and a lubricant blocking structure formed between the housing and the fixing unit.

Vehicle outside mirror

A vehicle door mirror is configured to be mounted on outside of a vehicle in a retractable manner from a set position to a retracted position. When moving to the set position or the retracted position, the vehicle door mirror is moved at a first speed from a start position to a position right before a stop position, and is further moved from the position right before the stop position to the stop position at a second speed that is slower than the first speed.

Vehicle door mirror with pulse modulation control

A vehicle mirror apparatus includes a stationary side shaft holder which has a shaft () and which is provided on a mirror base and a housing () which has rotating unit () and which can rotate around the shaft (), the shaft () passing through the housing (). The housing () has a shaft holding portion () to which a root portion () of the shaft () is fined, rotation of the housing () is supported by sliding the shaft holding portion () over the root portion () of the shaft (), one of the shaft holding portion () and the root portion () of the shaft () is formed with projection which project toward the other one of shaft holding portion () and the root portion () and abut against the other portion.
