Abstract
In a conventional vehicle outside mirror device, there has been a problem that a frictional wear occurs. According to the present invention, an interposing memberis provided between a shaft holderand a gear caseAn electrically rotation range restricting mechanism is a mechanism in which an electrically driven rotation range of a mirror assemblyis restricted, and is comprised of abutment faceswhich are provided at the interposing memberand the shaft holderA buffering mechanism is a mechanism which causes the mirror assemblyto rotate for the sake of buffering, and is comprised of engagement portionswhich are provided at the interposing memberand the gear caseThe electrically driven rotation range restricting mechanism and the buffering mechanism are separated from each other. As a result, the present invention can prevent a frictional wear from occurring between the interposing memberand the shaft holderand between the interposing memberand the gear case
