Patent 7101171 was granted and assigned to Sony on September, 2006 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A resin ring 51 is press-fitted into a grove portion formed in an inner periphery surface of an interlocking ring 4. The resin ring 51 is made of a hard resin such as Teflon. The resin ring 51 as a low frictional lubricative member is interposed between the interlock ring 4 and an outer periphery ring 3. In addition, a cavity 6 as a closed space is formed between a stamper 1b as a molding surface of a fixed side mirror 1 and a mirror side molding surface 2b of a moving side mirror 2. While the moving side mirror 2 is being press-contracted to the fixed side mirror 1, when a resin material is filled into the cavity 6, the outer periphery ring 3 is slidably held in a groove of the moving side mirror 2 with predetermined clearances. In the interlock ring 4, a plurality of openings 4a which relieve gas produced by the disc resin material filled into the cavity 6 are formed.
