Abstract
A mounting structure for a vanity mirror includes two screw penetration holes formed in a lamp section of the vanity mirror; positive and negative contacts for supplying a light source in the lamp section with electricity, the positive and negative contacts being formed with through holes and being disposed such that each of the through holes formed in the positive and negative contacts is aligned with a corresponding one of the screw penetration holes of the lamp section; two contacts provided on a sun visor and connected to a power source, the sun visor-side contacts being formed with through holes and being positioned such that each of the through holes of the sun visor-side contacts is aligned with a corresponding one of the screw holes in bosses of the sun visor which are located at positions corresponding to the screw penetration holes of the lamp section; and two mounting screws made of a conductive material which are passed through the through holes of the contacts of the lamp section, the screw penetration holes of the vanity mirror and the through holes of the contacts on the sun visor, in this order, and are screwed to the screw holes in the sun visor, whereby the contacts of the lamp section and the contacts on the sun visors are electrically connected with each other through the mounting screws. Accordingly, the structure for supplying electricity to the lamp section of the vanity mirror is simplified.
