"RETROVISOR INTERIOR PARA VEHÍCULOS AUTOMÓVILES" "INTERIOR REARVIEW MACHINE FOR AUTOMOBILE VEHICLES"
Sector técnico de la invención. -Technical sector of the invention. -
Tiene por objeto la invención un retrovisor interior para vehículos automóviles, en particular un retrovisor interior del tipo de los que están montados superpuestos a la cara interior del parabrisas del vehículo automóvil.The object of the invention is an interior rear-view mirror for motor vehicles, in particular an interior rear-view mirror of the type that is mounted superimposed on the interior face of the windshield of the motor vehicle.
Antecedentes de la invención. -Background of the invention. -
Son conocidas muchas realizaciones de retrovisores interiores para vehículos automóviles, compuestos esencialmente por un soporte y una carcasa a la que está uni- do un espejo. El soporte está fijado, generalmente mediante adhesivos, a la superficie interior del parabrisas, en tanto que la carcasa está acoplada al soporte por medio de una rótula, todo ello de modo que el conductor del vehículo puede situar de forma estable la carcasa, y consiguientemente el espejo, en cualquier posición de entre las habituales de uso, durante la conducción del vehículo.Many embodiments of interior mirrors for motor vehicles are known, consisting essentially of a support and a housing to which a mirror is attached. The support is fixed, generally by means of adhesives, to the inner surface of the windshield, while the carcass is coupled to the support by means of a ball joint, all this so that the driver of the vehicle can stably position the carcass, and consequently the mirror, in any position among the usual ones of use, while driving the vehicle.
Son conocidas realizaciones de carcasas monopieza, obtenidas de polipropileno, en las que para el montaje del espejo se prevé, en el borde de la carcasa e interiormente, una ranura perimetral adaptada para alojar el canto del espejo. Para el acoplamiento del espejo se precisa que la carcasa se encuentre a una temperatura lo suficientemente elevada para que se pueda conseguir la de- formación elástica de su borde frontal, en una medida que permita ubicar el canto del espejo en dicha ranura, y también se precisa que la ranura tenga unas dimensiones lo más reducidas posibles, a fin de que, al producirse por enfriamiento la contracción del material, se consiga una adecuada sujeción del espejo. Tales requerimientos tienen como principal inconveniente el de que, con relativa frecuencia, el acabado final conseguido no se ajusta a los criterios de calidad precisos. Son también conocidas realizaciones de carcasas de dos piezas, compuestas por un cuerpo-carcasa y por un marco de fijación acoplables entre si, obtenidos de po- liamida o ABS (acrilo-butadieno-estireno) , quedando el espejo dispuesto entre ambas piezas. El principal incon- veniente de estas carcasas deriva de su elevado coste de producción.There are known embodiments of single-piece housings, obtained from polypropylene, in which a perimeter groove adapted to accommodate the edge of the mirror is provided for the assembly of the mirror. For the coupling of the mirror it is necessary that the housing is at a temperature high enough so that the elastic deformation of its front edge can be achieved, in a measure that allows the mirror edge to be located in said groove, and also it is necessary that the groove has the smallest possible dimensions, so that, when the material shrinks by cooling, the material is achieved Proper hold of the mirror. Such requirements have the main drawback that, with relative frequency, the final finish achieved does not meet the precise quality criteria. Embodiments of two-piece housings are also known, consisting of a body-shell and a fastening frame that can be coupled together, obtained from polyamide or ABS (acryl-butadiene-styrene), the mirror being arranged between both pieces. The main drawback of these housings derives from their high production cost.
