Base assembly, and periphery monitoring device for vehicle

A vehicle mirror device includes a housing; an imaging device including an image light acquisition unit disposed in a lower surface of the housing in a vehicle-mounted state; a light projection device including an infrared irradiation unit disposed in the lower surface of the housing and disposed side by side with the image light acquisition unit in the left-and-right direction; and a plate-like attachment member including a surface on which the imaging device and the light projection device are mounted, and attached to the housing to hold the imaging device and the light projection device between the attachment member and the housing, the imaging device and the light projection device being fastened to the attachment member with screw members in a first direction. The attachment member is configured such that the imaging device and the light projection device are mountable thereon in a second direction different from the first direction.

Vehicle mirror device

A vehicle mirror device includes a housing, an imaging device, a light projection device, and a light shield unit. The housing is attached to a side portion of a vehicle and holds a mirror. The imaging device is attached to the housing and includes an image light acquisition unit disposed in a lower surface of the housing in a vehicle-mounted state. The light projection device is attached to the housing and includes an infrared irradiation unit disposed in the lower surface of the housing and disposed side by side with the image light acquisition unit in a left-and-right direction in the vehicle-mounted state. The light shield unit is provided on the lower surface of the housing and blocks infrared light going from the infrared irradiation unit toward the image light acquisition unit.

A mirror housing includes a temporary fixing member that is formed of a plate having a groove. An additional part includes a temporary fixing member that includes an insertion portion engaged with the groove to position and guide the additional part in a setting direction and a first direction, and a contacting portion that contacts the plate to position and guide the additional part in a second direction.

Outside mirror apparatus for vehicle

An outside mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror housing; an accessory part; a temporary fixing unit that temporarily fixes the accessory part to the mirror housing; and a permanent fixing unit that permanently fixes the accessory part to the mirror housing. The temporary fixing unit includes a first guide positioning part provided in the mirror housing and a second guide positioning part provided in the accessory part. The first and the second guide positioning parts perform a positioning of the accessory part with a first guide in a first direction and a second guide in a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are substantially perpendicular to a direction of setting the accessory part to the mirror housing, respectively, and substantially perpendicular to each other.
