Abstract:
A vehicle door mirror is provided in which an upward facing support seat and a support shaft rising from the support seat are fixedly provided on a side door side of a vehicle, a click mechanism is provided between opposing faces of the support seat and a bearing part provided on a bracket and pivotably supported on the support shaft, a coil spring is provided between a spring receiving member fixed to the support shaft and a flat spring receiving face formed on the bearing part, and a lubricant reservoir is formed on the spring receiving face. The lubricant reservoir has at least a first groove that continues so that one end is disposed closer to the center of the support shaft than the other end. Thus, a lubricant is always stably supplied to an area of the coil spring that is in sliding contact with the spring receiving face.
