Abstract

An outside minor assembly for a vehicle is provided, which can prevent inflow of foreign matter such as dust, and improve durability by providing a structure in which an integrated minor surrounds a holder. The outside minor assembly includes a blind zone minor and an outside mirror that are integrally injection-molded using a plastic material, and a dust cover that is bent backward from frames of the blind zone minor, where the outside minor surrounds a circumferential surface of a holder.

Claims

1. An outside minor assembly for a vehicle, comprising:

an integrated minor having a blind zone minor and an outside minor that are integrally injection-molded; and

a dust cover being bent backward and integrally formed with frames of the blind zone minor and the outside minor,

wherein, when the integrated minor is adhered to the front surface of a holder by a double-faced adhesive tape, the dust cover surrounds a circumferential surface of the holder.

2. The outside minor assembly of claim 1, wherein the integrated minor including the blind zone minor and the outside minor is formed by coating a reflective material for reflecting the appearance of an object on the surface of a body made of a plastic material.

3. The outside minor assembly of claim 2, wherein the integrated minor including the blind zone minor and the outside minor is formed by sequentially coating a UV hard coating layer, a first SiO₂ coating layer, a chrome coating layer and a second SiO₂ coating layer on the surface of the body made of a polycarbonate (PC) material.

4. The outside minor assembly of claim 1, wherein a divider fastening groove is formed at a boundary portion between the blind zone minor and the outside minor of the integrated minor, and a divider for distinguishing the blind zone minor from the outside minor is inserted and fastened into the divider fastening groove.

5. The outside mirror assembly of claim 3, wherein a hook is inserted and fastened into the divider fastening groove of the integrated minor, the hook being integrally formed on a rear surface of the divider.

6. The outside minor assembly of claim 4, further comprising a receiving groove formed at a portion corresponding to the divider fastening groove of the integrated minor on a front surface of the holder, the receiving groove configured to allow a rear protruding groove of the divider fastening groove to be inserted therein.

7. An outside minor assembly for a vehicle, comprising:

an integrated minor having a blind zone minor and an outside minor that are integrally injection-molded; and

a dust cover being bent backward and integrally formed with frames of the blind zone minor and the outside minor,

wherein, the integrated minor is adhered to the front surface of a holder and the dust cover surrounds a circumferential surface of the holder.
