Abstract:
A cover assembly for an appliance includes a glass panel having an outer surface and an inner surface. The glass panel has a side perimeter edge about a periphery of the glass panel and extending between the inner surface and a rounded outer perimeter edge of the glass panel. The rounded outer perimeter edge of the glass panel is exposed when the cover assembly is normally mounted at an appliance. The rounded outer perimeter edge of the glass panel comprises a rounded surface established between the outer surface and the side perimeter edge. At least one attachment element is configured for engaging a corresponding structure of the appliance when the cover assembly is disposed at the appliance.
Abstract:
A mirror reflective element sub-assembly includes a mirror reflective element and a mirror back plate. The back plate has an indicator mounting portion. An aperture is established through the back plate generally at the indicator mounting portion. A heater pad is disposed between the mirror reflective element and the back plate. The heater pad has a light transmitting portion generally aligned with the aperture of the back plate. A self-contained substantially sealed indicator is mounted at the indicator mounting portion and has a light source that is activatable to emit light. When an equipped exterior rearview mirror assembly is mounted at a side of a vehicle and with the light source activated, light emitted by the light source transmits through the aperture of the back plate and the light transmitting portion of the heater pad and exits the mirror reflective element.
Abstract:
A mirror reflective element sub-assembly includes a mirror reflective element, a mirror back plate and a blind spot indicator. The mirror back plate has a generally planar portion and an indicator mounting portion. The indicator mounting portion of the mirror back plate is angled relative to the generally planar portion, and an aperture is established through the mirror back plate generally at the indicator mounting portion. A heater pad is disposed at the rear of the mirror reflective element, and a light transmitting portion of the heater pad is generally aligned with the aperture of the mirror back plate. With the light source of the blind spot indicator activated, light emitted by the light source transmits through an indicia element, the aperture and the light transmitting portion and exits the mirror reflective element at an angle relative to the generally planar portion of the mirror back plate.
