    摘要: A side-view mirror assembly (10) having a fixed support (22) fixed to a vehicle, and a U-shaped member (16) including a bight portion (20) secured to the fixed support and a plurality of legs (18) extending from the bight portion outwardly from the vehicle. A moveable mirror housing (14) has a receiving portion (30, 32) constructed and arranged to receive the legs of the U-shaped member, the mirror housing being manually engageable to be moved along a length of the legs upon application of sufficient manual force thereto to enable desired lateral positioning thereof for optimal side-view visibility. An arrangement element (44) is constructed and arranged to provide sufficient engagement between the receiving portion of the mirror housing and at least one of the legs of the U-shaped member to inhibit unwanted movement of the mirror housing along the legs when application of the manual force thereto is discontinued. In addition, a moveable mirror unit (12) is secured to the mirror housing in angularly moveable relation with respect thereto to enable desired angular positioning of the mirror unit.

    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.

    摘要: A vehicle mirror assembly comprises a housing assembly (12) and a mirror unit (14) mounted on the housing assembly. A support assembly (16) is provided which is constructed and arranged to be fixedly mounted on a vehicle and to support the housing assembly thereon in an operative position extending laterally outwardly from the vehicle so that the mirror unit serves as an exterior rear view mirror for the driver of the vehicle. A power operated pivot assembly (18) is provided between the support assembly and the housing assembly constructed and arranged to enable the housing assembly to be pivoted with respect to the support assembly about a generally upright axis. The power operated pivot assembly includes at least one tubular member (38, 40) carried by one of the assemblies in concentric relation to the upright axis and an electric motor (42) constructed and arranged within the tubular member.

    摘要: A rearview mirror assembly comprising a mirror unit, a mirror unit support, and a central connection between the mirror unit and support mounting the mirror unit for pivotal movement about first and second generally intersecting perpendicular axes. A first arm is mounted on the support for pivotal movement about the first axis and connected with the mirror unit for limited pivotal movement about the second axis at a position spaced from the first axis. A second arm is mounted on the support for pivotal movement about the second axis and connected with the mirror unit for compound movement which includes limited lateral movement with respect to the first axis and pivotal movement about an axis which is either coincident with or slightly angularly related with the first axis depending upon the position of relative lateral movement. First and second power-transmitting surfaces on the first and second arms respectively are arcuate about the first and second axis respectively. First and second power-operated rotary members are constructed and arranged with respect to the first and second power-transmitting surfaces respectively (1) to move under power in peripheral rolling contact therewith to effect movement of the first and second arms respectively and (2) to move under power in peripheral sliding relation therewith in the event that movement of the first and second arms respectively is otherwise prevented.

    摘要: 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 spring biased pivotal control system (96) is disposed between a movable tubular member of the pivot assembly and the support assembly to provide a control resistance to pivotal movement of the movable tubular member and hence the housing assembly connected thereto. A spring biased indexing system (76) is disposed between a motion transmitting member and the movable tubular member to (1) transmit the movement of the motion transmitting member under power to the movable tubular member to thereby move the housing assembly between the operative and folded positions with the control system providing a control resistance and (2) allow the movable tubular member to be moved from the operative position relative to the motion transmitting member in response to an unwanted impact blow applied to the housing assembly in either direction to move the housing assembly from the operative position with the indexing system providing an indexing resistance to such movement which is independent of the control resistance.
