ABSTRACT:
In a door mirror device for a vehicle, when a twin gear is rotated by driving of a motor, the twin gear moves around a periphery of an output gear. A case member and a motor base member are thereby pivoted around a supporting shaft, and a mirror connected to the case member is retracted or extended. Here, an engagement claw provided at the motor base member engages with an engagement hole provided in the case member. Swaying of the motor base member with respect to the case member can thereby be prevented. Thus, tilting of the twin gear at the time of extending or retracting the mirror can be prevented. It is thereby possible to make meshing of the twin gear and the output gear stable, and to make the operations of retracting and extending the mirror stable.
