The invention relates to a mirror assembly (1) for a vehicle, comprising a housing having a first housing portion (12); a second housing portion (14), which is removably connected to the first housing portion (12) to define a recess therebetween; and a mirror mounted within the housing. A flexible engagement member (30) is provided between the first housing portion (12) and the second housing portion, the flexible engagement member (30) extending along at least a portion of an interface (18) between the first and the second housing portions. The flexible engagement member (30) comprises a first member portion first member portion (40) which extends inside the housing recess and which is releasably connected to at least one portion of the housing, and an second member portion (32) which extends from first member portion (40) to at least an outer surface of the housing (10). The second member portion (32) also extends at the interface (18) between a portion of a peripheral wall of the first housing portion (12) and a portion of a peripheral wall of the second housing portion (14). An operator can apply a force to the second member portion (32) of the flexible engagement member (30) to at least partially deform and/or displace the first member portion (40).

An asymmetrical mirror lens, usable on front fenders of school buses and similar vehicles, which has a plurality of mirror sections, each having a distinct constant radius of curvature to reduce image distortion. Optional sections located between sections of the constant radius of curvature have a step-wise changing radii of curvature to smooth the image sizes as an object moves across the mirror lens.

A health indicator system for a sensor pod includes one or more sensors associated with the sensor pod, a sensor pod housing, an internal sensor status monitoring system configured to determine a status of at least one sensor of the one or more sensors, and a plurality of visual indicators located on at least one exterior surface of the sensor pod housing, the plurality of visual indicators configured to display a predetermined configuration based on the determined status of each of the one or more sensors. The plurality of visual indicators are located on the sensor pod housing at a level such that when an external operator standing on a ground surface approaches the vehicle, the plurality of visual indicators is within the external operator's field of view.

The invention relates to a rear view mirror assembly for a vehicle comprising a housing configured for mounting to a vehicle; one or more mirror units disposed in the housing, wherein each mirror unit comprises a reflective mirror element and a mirror mount for securing the mirror element within the housing, wherein at least one mirror unit is an overhead mirror unit that is positioned to allow an operator in the vehicle to see an area that is behind the operator and above the vehicle.

A multi-camera vision system is utilized onboard a work vehicle having an operator cabin and an apparatus associated with performance of a work task. The system includes: one or more display devices defining a plurality of display areas and a plurality of cameras carried by the work vehicle and coupled to display feeds at the display areas. A first camera of the cameras is oriented to selectively provide a first selected feed of at least a portion of the apparatus during performance of the work task. A controller is configured to display the first selected feed of the selected feeds with an insert, overlay, or icon that indicates the origin and orientation of the first camera as the first selected feed depicts performance of the work task by the apparatus.

A mirror adjustment assistance system for trucks having as part of a vehicle body at least a cabin (3) having a front side with respect to an intended main direction of travel, a driver side, and a co-driver side. At least three adjustable mirrors (5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 19) are attached to an exterior of the vehicle body or cabin (3), each of the at least three adjustable mirrors (5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 19) has an aiming marker (43, 45, 59, 61, 65, 69) on or adjacent its reflective surface. At least two vehicle body target markers (41, 57, 63, 67) are positioned on an exterior surface of the vehicle body (3), and at least a single one (41; 57) of the at least two vehicle body target markers is associated with two of the at least three mirrors (5, 9; 7, 11). Any aiming marker (43, 45, 59, 61, 65, 69) of the at least three adjustable mirrors (5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 19) can only be aligned with a single one of the at least two vehicle body target markers (41, 57, 63, 67).

A quick release mechanism for a pole mounted mirror has a base for receiving a pole. The base attaches to a mirror. The base carries a knob that when tightened, clamps the pole against the mirror.

A rear view device for a motor vehicle includes a base portion mountable to the motor vehicle, an arm portion for carrying a head with at least one of a reflective element, a display element, and a camera, the arm portion being pivotable relative to the base portion around a bolt, the bolt providing a pivot axis, extending through an opening of the base portion and an opening of the arm portion, and fixed within the base portion, a sequence of a first base plate part, a second base plate part, and a spring, and a bearing part which is inserted into the opening of the arm portion.

The present invention discloses an adjustable side rear view mirror assembly for attachment to a vehicle. The mirror assembly includes one or more rotary lock mechanisms which allow the mirror assembly to rotate between a series of designated positions. The mirror assembly includes an interlocking clam-shell construction for the mirror housing, as well as reflective mirror members which are laminated to surfaces on the mirror housing.

A modular camera structure to be mounted on the rear-view mirror frame on either lateral side of a large vehicle to eliminate rear-view blind spots includes an annular base, a cover, and a fastening member. The annular base has an annular projection on which an image-recording device is placed, and a curved groove on the opposite side. The cover has a lower opening coupled with the annular projection such that the image-recording device is secured in the cover and has its lens exposed through an upper opening of the cover. A recessed portion of the fastening member and the curved groove of the annular base can engage with two opposite sides of the rear-view mirror frame respectively, before locking members lock two ends of the fastening member to the annular base to secure the annular base and the fastening member tightly to the rear-view mirror frame in a clamping manner.
