摘要:
Le rétroviseur ci-décrit comprend un élément porte-miroir en matière plastique, et un élément support en matière plastique pourvu de structures coopérantes reliées de manière intégrale et permettant des mouvements de pivotement selon deux axes d'intersection perpendiculaires. Les structures de liaison sont du type à emboîtement rapide et sont caractérisées par deux grandes surfaces sphériques parallèles tronquées pouvant s'emboîter les unes dans les autres, et des surfaces sphériques segmentaires qui s'émboîtent les unes dans les autres, ayant un point central commun. L'élément support est relié à un élément de boîtier coopérant pour former un ensemble de boîtier portant un mécanisme motorisé commandé à distance pour effectuer les mouvements pivotants de l'élément porte-miroir. Un mécanisme de détection est également monté dans l'ensemble du boîtier pour permettre la commande automatique du mécanisme motorisé, en plus de la commande manuelle. Le mécanisme motorisé comprend des ensembles de commande, dont chacun possède une paire d'éléments de commande, l'un desquels est pourvu d'un moyen de liaison, par rotule enclenchable, avec l'élément de boîtier et un moyen de liaison, par doigt et entaille, avec un élément de roue dentée associé. Le mécanisme de détection comprend des parties de paroi intégrales sur l'élément de boîtier permettant de monter deux éléments de détection espacés, dont les contacts électriques coopèrent avec deux circuits de potentiomètre disposés sur une seule carte de circuits éléctriques.
摘要:
An automotive vehicle rearview mirror assembly comprising a plastic mirror holding member and a plastic support member provided with cooperating integral connecting structures providing for relative pivotal movements about two perpendicular intersecting axes. The connecting structures having a snap-in relation providing large interengaging dual parallel truncated spherical surfaces and smaller interengaging segmental spherical surfaces all having a common centerpoint. The support member connects with a cooperating casing member to form a casing assembly carrying a remotely controlled power operated mechanism for effecting pivotal movements of the mirror holding member. A sensing mechanism is also carried within the casing assembly for enabling the power operated mechanism to be automatically controlled as well as manually controlled. The power operated mechanism includes actuator assemblies each having a pair of actuator members one of which has a snap-in ball and socket connection with the casing member and a lug and notch connection with an associated pinion member. The sensing mechanism includes integral wall portions on the casing member for mounting two spaced sensing members with electrical contacts in cooperating relation with two potentiometer circuits on a single electrical circuit board.

A rearview mirror assembly comprises a support (14) and central connection allowing pivotal movement about first and second perpendicular axes. A first arm (48) is mounted on the support for pivotal movement about the first axis and limited pivotal movement about the second axis at a position spaced from the first axis. A second arm (50) is mounted on the support for pivotal movement about the second axis and for compound movement which includes limited lateral movement with respect to the first axis and pivotal movement with respect to an axis coincident with or angularly related with the first axis, depending upon the relative lateral position. A manually controlled mechanism effects a desired movement of the mirror unit together with a corresponding movement of either one or both of the first and second arms with respect to the support in response to a remote manual movement by a user.
摘要:
A rearview mirror assembly comprising a fixed support structure (12), a movable mirror housing structure (14) having a movable mirror unit adjustably mounted therein, and a spring-biased mounting assembly (16, 18, 20, 22) mounting the movable structure on the fixed structure for spring-biased movement into a normal operating position. The movable structure responds to unwanted forwardly directed forces by travelling out of the normal operating position through a forward range of movement and by returning to the operating position upon release of the forces. Rearwardly directed forces cause movement through a rearward range of motion to an intermediate position, where the spring-bias decreases to zero, and thereafter cause movement of the structure, under a reverse spring-bias, to a rearwardly folded position. A power-driven assembly is provided for applying a yieldable force pattern to the movable structure to overcome the spring bias within the rearward range of movement to selectively move the movable structure between the operative and rearwardly folded limiting positions.
