摘要： A self-cleaning plate shaped device for use in an automotive rear view mirror. The device preferably includes a mirror and a vibrator disposed on the mirror for propagating oscillations in the mirror substantially entirely parallel to the plane of the mirror. The vibrations remove foreign substances from the mirror. The mirror also includes a heater disposed on the back of the mirror for distributing heat substantially entirely throughout the mirror. When the mirror is heated by the heater, a moisture blur or the like are evaporated quickly and removed from the reflecting surface of the mirror. Further, frost, ice and the like is melted into water drops, and removed from the reflecting surface of the mirror due to the vibration of the mirror by the vibrator.

摘要： An arrangement is provided for removing foreign substances from a mirror. A vibrator for vibrating the mirror includes a vibration controlling unit for supplying power to the vibrator. As the vibration controlling unit is located close to the vibrator, the length of the conductive wire which transmits the power can be minimized so as to reduce radio noise. The heat generated by the vibration control unit can be radiated sufficiently through a metallic case member and the vibration controlling unit can be disposed in the closed, small space between the mirror and the housing. Therefore, the size of the housing can be reduced so as to minimize the space which surrounds the vibration control unit. Further, the vibration control unit can be protected from contamination due to the closed case member.

摘要： An outside mirror of a vehicle has an ultrasonic vibrator attached to its rear side for removing water and the like from the front side of the mirror. The mirror is attached to a frame by means of a supporting member extending around an outer peripheral edge of the mirror. The supporting portion is formed of a material having less acoustic impedance than the mirror. The vibrator has electrode connectors connected to wires from a control device by being mechanically clamped to those wires.

摘要： A device for removing water droplets comprises a plate-like member disposed vibratably, a vibrator bonded to the rear face of the plate-like member and oscillation means for vibrating the vibrator at a predetermined frequency, wherein the thickness and/or the diameter of the vibrator is optimized in relation with the thickness thereof, or the longitudinal, lateral width or thickness of the plate-like member. The water droplets on the plate-like member, e.g., automobile mirror can be removed effectively and uniformly with no worry for the destruction of the vibrator. The oscillation means may, advantageously, be adapted to cause bending vibrations to the vibrator by lateral effect.
