Der Innenrückblickspiegel hat ein Gehäuse 1, das an seiner Oberseite eine Durchgriffsöffnung 2 (Fig. 2) für einen Spiegelfuß 3 aufweist, mit dem der Innenspiegel im Fahrzeug in bekannter Weise befestigt ist. Im Gehäuse 1 ist ein Träger 4 vorgesehen, der eine Gelenkaufnahme 5 für eine Gelenkkugel 6 aufweist, die am freien Ende eines durch die Durchgriffsöffnung 2 ragenden Armes 7 des Spiegelfußes vorgesehen ist. Über dieses Kugelgelenk läßt sich der Innenspiegel in bekannter Weise in bezug auf die Position des Kraftfahrzeuges einstellen.The interior rearview mirror has a housing 1 which has a through opening 2 (Fig. 2) on its top for a mirror base 3, with which the interior mirror is attached in the vehicle in a known manner. A support 4 is provided in the housing 1, which has a joint receptacle 5 for a joint ball 6 which is provided at the free end of an arm 7 of the mirror base which projects through the through opening 2. The interior mirror can be adjusted in a known manner in relation to the position of the motor vehicle via this ball joint.
Das Gehäuse 1 ist im Querschnitt bauchig ausgebildet und hat in Vorderansicht (Fig. 1) etwa Rechteckform. Das Gehäuse 1 hat eine bauchige Rückwand 8, die in Seitenwände 9, 10 (Fig. 1), einen Boden 11 und eine Oberseite 12 übergeht.

Am Träger 4 liegt ein Spiegelglas 14 an, auf dem sich ein Deckglas 15 befindet. Die beiden Gläser 14, 15 sind Teil eines EC-Spiegels. Zwischen dem Spiegelglas 14 und dem Deckglas 15 befindet sich eine umlaufende Dichtung 16, die ein Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit zwischen die beiden Gläser 14, 15 bzw. ein Austreten des EC-Mediums verhindert.A mirror glass 14 is attached to the carrier 4, on which a cover glass 15 is located. The two glasses 14, 15 are part of an EC mirror. Between the mirror glass 14 and the cover glass 15 there is a circumferential seal 16 which prevents moisture from penetrating between the two glasses 14, 15 and the EC medium from escaping.
Der umlaufende Rahmen 13 übergreift mit seinem freien Ende den EC-Spiegel 14, 15 randseitig. Der Rahmen 13 liegt mit einer ebenen Fläche 17 (Fig. 3) flächig am Deckglas 15 an. Der EC-Spiegel 14, 15 wird auf diese Weise zwischen dem Träger 4 und dem Rahmen 13 gehalten. Der Rahmen 13 besteht aus zwei Rahmenteilen 18 und 19, von denen der innere Rahmenteil 19 eine Einbauöffnung 20 für den EC-Spiegel 14, 15 begrenzt. Der Rahmenteil 19 hat im Querschnitt etwa Viertelkreisform und liegt mit seinen ebenen Außenseiten am Deckglas sowie an einer ebenen Stirnseite 21 des Rahmenteiles 18 flächig an. Der Rahmen 13 bildet eine stetige Fortsetzung des Gehäuses 1, das heißt die Außenseiten des Gehäuses 1 und des Rahmens 13 gehen stufenlos ineinander über. Wie die Fig. 2 und 3 zeigen, übergreift der Rahmen 13 den EC-Spiegel 14, 15 mit Abstand und liegt lediglich mit der Anlagefläche 17 an der Außenseite des Deckglases 15 an.The free end of the surrounding frame 13 overlaps the edge of the EC mirror 14, 15. The frame 13 lies flat against the cover glass 15 with a flat surface 17 (Fig. 3). The EC mirror 14, 15 is held in this way between the carrier 4 and the frame 13. The frame 13 consists of two frame parts 18 and 19, of which the inner frame part 19 delimits an installation opening 20 for the EC mirror 14, 15. The frame part 19 has an approximately quarter-circle shape in cross-section and lies flat against the cover glass and a flat front side 21 of the frame part 18 with its flat outer sides. The frame 13 forms a continuous continuation of the housing 1, i.e. the outer sides of the housing 1 and the frame 13 merge seamlessly into one another. As shown in Fig. 2 and 3, the frame 13 overlaps the EC mirror 14, 15 at a distance and rests only with the contact surface 17 on the outside of the cover glass 15.
Der an das Gehäuse 1 anschließende Rahmenteil 18 besteht aus undurchsichtigem Material, insbesondere aus einem entsprechenden Kunststoff. Dieses Material kann eingefärbt sein, beispielsweise im Farbton des Kraftfahrzeuges. Der Rahmenteil 19 hingegen besteht aus durchsichtigem, insbesondere glasklarem Material. Damit durch diesen Rahmenteil 19 hindurch die Dichtung 16 zwischen den beiden Gläsern 14, 15 nicht sichtbar ist, ist die am Deckglas 15 anliegende Rückseite 22 des Rahmenteiles 19 mit einer Verspiegelung 23 versehen. Sie ist so vorgesehen, daß sie, von außen gesehen, die Dichtung 16 abdeckt. Da der Rahmenteil 19 aus durchsichtigem, insbe-The frame part 18 adjoining the housing 1 is made of opaque material, in particular of a corresponding plastic. This material can be colored, for example in the color of the motor vehicle. The frame part 19, on the other hand, is made of transparent, in particular crystal-clear material. So that the seal 16 between the two glasses 14, 15 is not visible through this frame part 19, the rear side 22 of the frame part 19 resting on the cover glass 15 is provided with a mirror coating 23. It is designed in such a way that it covers the seal 16 when viewed from the outside. Since the frame part 19 is made of transparent, in particular
sondere glasklarem Material besteht, wirkt dieser Rahmenteil 19 nicht störend, da er sich nur wenig vom Deckglas 15 abhebt.made of a special crystal-clear material, this frame part 19 does not cause any disturbance, since it stands out only slightly from the cover glass 15.
Es ist möglich, den an den Rahmenteil 19 anschließenden Bereich des Rahmenteiles 18 ebenfalls aus durchsichtigem, insbesondere glasklarem Material herzustellen. In diesem Falle ist die Verspiegelung 23 auch an der am Deckglas 15 anliegenden Innenseite dieses Bereiches des Rahmenteiles 18 vorgesehen. Die Verspiegelung 23 läßt sich einfach am Rahmen 13 anbringen und benötigt selbst keinen ins Gewicht fallenden Einbauraum. Die Verspiegelung 23 ist nur in diejenigen Bereichen des Rahmens 13 vorgesehen, durch die von außen die Dichtung 16 zwischen den beiden Gläsern 14, 15 des EC-Spiegels erkennbar sind. Solange der Rahmen 13 im Bereich vor der Dichtung 16 undurchsichtig ist, ist eine Verspiegelung 23 nicht notwendig. It is possible to also manufacture the area of the frame part 18 adjoining the frame part 19 from transparent, in particular crystal-clear material. In this case, the mirror coating 23 is also provided on the inside of this area of the frame part 18 adjacent to the cover glass 15. The mirror coating 23 can be easily attached to the frame 13 and does not itself require any significant installation space. The mirror coating 23 is only provided in those areas of the frame 13 through which the seal 16 between the two glasses 14, 15 of the EC mirror can be seen from the outside. As long as the frame 13 is opaque in the area in front of the seal 16, a mirror coating 23 is not necessary.
