Vehicle Exterior Rearview Mirror Assembly

View page
US Patent:
6916100, Jul 12, 2005
Filed:
Jun 27, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/183919
Inventors:
Leo W. Pavao - Holland MI, US
Assignee:
Donnelly Corporation - Holland MI
International Classification:
G02B005/08
US Classification:
359841, 359850, 359871, 359872
Abstract:
A mirror system for a vehicle comprising an exterior rearview mirror assembly, which includes a fixed portion which is configured to mount to a side of the vehicle. The movable portion includes a reflective element and a reflective element actuator. The reflective element has a generally rearward field of view when the mirror system is mounted to the vehicle. The reflective element actuator provides selective adjustment of an orientation of the reflective element to adjust the rearward field of view to a desired orientation, and the movable portion is movably mounted to the fixed portion. The movable portion actuator selectively moves the movable portion between a viewing position wherein the movable portion extends outwardly from the vehicle at an angle with respect to the side of the vehicle and another viewing position wherein said movable portion extends outwardly from the vehicle at another angle with respect to the side of the vehicle. The movable portion actuator is adapted to move the movable portion to one of the positions, and the reflective element actuator is adapted to generally maintain the rearward field of view at the desired orientation independent of the position of the movable portion.

US Patent:
7025920, Apr 11, 2006
Filed:
Apr 26, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/133042

International Classification:
B29C 45/14
US Classification:
264250, 264247, 264296, 264275
Abstract:
A method of forming a composite shell member for a vehicular sideview exterior mirror assembly includes providing a decorative film substrate and a polymer resin. A shell is formed the decorative film substrate and the polymer resin to form the shell member. A discontinuity is formed in the polymer resin, with the film substrate conformed to the polymer resin to generally follow the edge definition of the discontinuity to form a surface discontinuity in an outer surface of the shell member having substantially the same edge definition of the discontinuity of the polymer resin.

US Patent:
7093946, Aug 22, 2006
Filed:
Aug 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/929230
Inventors:
Amit S. Barve - Holland MI, US
Richard J. Weber - Grand Haven MI, US
Eric Shapin - Kentwood MI, US
Leo W. Pavao - York SC, US
Assignee:
Donnelly Corporation - Holland MI
International Classification:
G02B 5/08
G02B 7/18
US Classification:
359841, 359877
Abstract:
An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a base portion mounted to the vehicle and a movable portion that is pivotable relative to the base portion via a motor or motorized actuator or powerfold unit or the like. The powerfold unit is operable to pivot the movable portion relative to the base portion. The powerfold unit is mounted at one of the movable portion and the base portion and engages a receiving portion of the other of the movable portion and the base portion. A resilient element is positioned between and at least partially in engagement with the powerfold unit and the receiving portion. The resilient element is resilient and may at least partially compress as the powerfold unit is engaged with the receiving portion, thereby reducing or dampening vibration of the head portion relative to the base portion of the mirror assembly.

US Patent:
7165852, Jan 23, 2007
Filed:
Mar 8, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/795628
Inventors:
Leo W. Pavao - West Olive MI, US
Daniel D. Kasbohm - Grand Haven MI, US
Amit S. Barve - Holland MI, US
Assignee:
Donnelly Corporation - Holland MI
International Classification:
G02B 1/076
US Classification:
359841, 248479
Abstract:
An exterior rearview mirror assembly of a vehicle includes a pivot joint assembly pivotally mounting a movable portion to a base portion of the mirror assembly. The pivot joint assembly includes a support member, a receiving portion and a bracing member. The bracing member engages the receiving portion and extends radially inward toward the support member. The receiving portion is slidably movable relative to the bracing member in the longitudinal direction. A retaining clip is positioned at least partially around the support member and engages the bracing member and limits longitudinal movement of the bracing member relative to the support member. The bracing member is rotationally slidable relative to the receiving portion and/or the retaining clip in response to rotational movement of the receiving portion relative to the support member about a pivot axis.
