Definitions
- the invention relates to a support structure for any of glass mirrors that are mounted in the interior of a vehicle or, more generally in places where they must withstand without breaking the impacts they may suffer.
- mirrors that are mounted inside a vehicle can be of two types: those made of metal and those made of glass.
- solution that we will describe is intended to be applied to glass mirrors.
- Glass mirrors offer multiple advantages over metallic ones: higher image quality, better appearance, lighter, greater resistance to aging and corrosion, and its cost is significantly lower.
- a plastic housing which can be fitted, either simply embedded in it with a set of tabs and / or supports that ensure its position, adhesive, or even over-injected on it.
- This housing can be open or fully closed at the back.
- said housing is mounted on the element (sun visor, seat, trim, etc.) that the mirror will carry.
- the mounting system can be of several types, the most common being that the mirror housing is provided with some form of tabs or protuberances, capable of anchoring and being fixed on some part of the structure of the element on which it should be mounted . Sometimes other solutions such as screwing are also used.
- the impact behavior of the mirror once mounted depends largely on the mounting procedure used, the fixing points and their position, and the rigidity of the bearing element, given this by the technology used in its manufacture.
- the body of the bearing element is made of rigid foam (polyurethane, expanded polypropylene, etc.), providing its external shape, and subsequently covered with a decorative coating. Normally this body is reinforced with a reinforcement structure (plastic, metal, etc.).
- the mirror can be mounted in different ways:
- the compression failure mode (b) predominates if it is very rigid, or the flexural mode if it is not very rigid.
- the invention has as its objective a mirror mounting system for components of the interior of the vehicle and the like that allows the consideration of a predictable behavior thereof from the design phase, also guaranteeing a resistance to breaking the front mirror. to impacts, at least within the conditions specified by the safety regulations for vehicles (Internal Conditioning Regulations in Europe, regulations for the Protection of Impact of Head in the United States, ...)
- Another object of the invention is a mirror mounting system for components of the interior of a vehicle and the like that reduces the style limitations of these elements imposed for safety reasons against impact.
- the invention claims a mirror assembly system for components of the interior of a vehicle with an inner body, generally made of plastic material, in which body a surface portion is made as a pocket, by for example, open to the outside, inside which a sandwich-like assembly is provided, consisting of a glass mirror, a rigid layer resistant to bending and a layer capable of deforming by absorbing energy when subjected to compression stresses.
- the glass mirror and the rigid layer will be placed in perfect surface contact, and the latter in turn in contact with the absorbent layer, admitting in these two a relative tolerance.
- the set is housed, as we said, inside the corresponding pocket, in which a perimeter guidance of the same is carried out in the base body. This guidance should allow a relative movement of the assembly of the invention with respect to the element on which it is mounted perpendicular to the surface of the glass mirror.
- the guiding and seating of the assembly of the invention can be carried out on the basis of a pocket or by other means, for example legs, projections ... etc., practiced in the base body of the element on which it is mounted.
- the rigid layer in contact with the mirror must have the characteristic of being smooth on its contact surface with the glass mirror, so that a wide mutual contact is made covering the entire rear face of the glass mirror.
- the other side of the rigid layer can be smooth, or on the contrary have some kind of reinforcement geometry to increase its stiffness as ribs for example but always following the theoretical surface defined by the rear face of the mirror.
- the three component elements of the invention can be interrelated in a stable manner, for example by gluing, so that they constitute a block of a certain compactness.
- the lower absorbent layer is not necessary since the body of the same is already made of materials such as flexible plastic foams or similar, which already have the qualities of energy absorber required.
- the rigid and absorbent layers may be of thicknesses and materials appropriate to the function to be performed, with no problem determining the precise determination of their characteristics for the proposed purposes.
- Fig. I a shows a section of the area of the vehicle element in which the invention is applied, together with the assembly of the invention itself.
- - Fig. 2 a represents a section of the construction variant, when the absorbent layer is integrated in the environment of the element of the vehicle on which it is mounted.
- -The Fig. 3 a is a variant relative to the assembly guide- of the invention in its housing.
- the base body (1) of the element of the vehicle in which the invention is mounted which can be made of any type of material, for example plastic material, and subsequently coated with a coating, not shown in this figure.
- a pocket (10) is practiced, inside which the compound of the invention is housed, a lower absorbent layer (4), a rigid layer (3) on it and the glass mirror (2) .
- This set shows a perimeter edge (5) which is a short distance from the side perimeter wall (6) of the pocket (10), as noted.
- this constructional variant has eliminated the absorbent inner layer, due to the fact that in this course, the base (7) body is of the kind made of an absorbent material, for example a plastic foam.
- the assembly of the invention is limited to the rigid layer (3) and the glass mirror.
