摘要:
A vehicle accessory assembly is disclosed for mounting on an interior panel, such as on a visor (12), for example, and includes an accessory device, such as a vanity mirror assembly (10), interconnected with the visor or other vehicle panel at a generally fixed location thereon. A preferred laterally sliding accessory door (24) is interconnected with the visor or other interior panel for selective lateral movement between a closed position wherein the accessory device is substantially covered and an open position wherein the accessory device is substantially exposed. Preferably, a switch (36) is provided for electrically energizing a light or other electrical component (35) in response to movement of the accessory door from its closed to its open position, and a manually operable override feature (260) is also preferably provided in the event that the user wishes to disable the switch and prevent such energization in response to the opening movement of the door. In addition, the assembly can also be provided with other features, such as a disconnect switch (40) that disconnects the electrical system of the accessory assembly whenever the visor or other vehicle panel is moved to a predetermined position.

This invention relates to annular canopy parachutes (10) having a central cap canopy (30) in critically spaced arrangement at the central main vent (15), which assists in providing rapid controlled inflation and decreasing oscillation upon inflation as to allow incorporation of high drag coeeficient, generally air impermeable canopy fabric.

A hinge assembly is disclosed which is particularly well suited for vehicle accessory applications, such as for pivotally interconnecting vanity doors with vanity housing structures for example. The hinge assembly, which is also applicable for other applications, includes a pivot means (50) pivotally interconnecting first and second members (22, 24) for relative rotational movement about a longitudinal axis, with a cam (36) on the first member protruding in a generally lateral direction to engage a resilient biasing means (60) on the second member. The resilient biasing means, which is preferably a leaf spring, is slidably engaged and resiliently deflected by the cam on the first member and exerts a resilient biasing force on the cam in a generally lateral direction, generally toward the pivot axis. The cam (36) preferably includes one or more dwell portions (40, 42) such that the spring or other resilient biasing means tends to resiliently and releasably maintain the first and second members in one or more predetermined relative rotational orientations when engaged by the dwell portions on the cam.

A vehicle seat assembly is disclosed comprising a seat (411) having front and rear sides, a head restraint (410), and head restraint mounting means (424) for interconnecting the head restraint to the seat. A vehicle accessory assembly, for example a mirror (413), or a mirror and light assembly (412), has mounting means (426) connected with, and retained by, the head restraint mounting means (424) to retain and support the accessory assembly on one of the sides of the seat.
