Electrical connection structures in additional unit for vehicles and in inner mirror
First Claim
1. An electrical connection structure comprising:
- an additional unit for a vehicle, which includes a base and an electrical-power driven portion;
an attachment to which the base is attachable, and which is provided on a main body of the vehicle;
a first current-carrying member which is routed along the main body of the vehicle, and which has a connecting portion near the attachment, the first current-carrying member being connected to a power source external to the additional unit; and
a second current-carrying member which is routed on the additional unit, and which has, around the base, a connecting portion connectable to the connecting portion of the first current-carrying member, the second current-carrying member being connected to the electrical-power driven portion, wherein the electrical-power driven portion is supplied with electrical power from the power source through the first and second current-carrying members.

Abstract
Disclosed is an electrical connection structure in an inner mirror, which facilitates installation of the inner mirror and establishment of the connection therein. A button (attachment) and a first current-carrying member are provided on a windshield. The inner mirror includes a base, a second current-carrying member and an electrical-power driven portion. When the base of the inner mirror is made to slide onto the button, connecting portions of the first and second current-carrying member come in contact with each other, so that they are electrically connected to each other. Consequently, the electrical-power driven portion is supplied with electrical power from a power source external to the inner mirror through the first and second current-carrying portions.
