A vehicle mirror system for a vehicle coupled to a trailer is provided. The vehicle mirror system includes first and second mirror assemblies configured to be located on first and second sides of the vehicle, a trailer angle sensor for sensing a hitch angle between the trailer and the vehicle, and a controller for controlling actuation of the first mirror assembly to control a first viewing window of the first mirror assembly for a driver of the vehicle, wherein the first mirror assembly is adjusted to redirect the viewing window to track a feature on the trailer as the trailer articulates relative to the vehicle based on the hitch angle. The second mirror assembly may be controlled to move inwards and downwards.

In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure an adjustable mirror assembly for a work machine is disclosed. The adjustable mirror assembly includes a support bracket adapted to be attached to the work machine and an intermediate bracket. The intermediate bracket interfaces with a back surface of a mirror and with the support bracket. The adjustable mirror assembly includes a first linear actuator for rotating the mirror about a pitch axis. The first linear actuator to rotate the mirror about a pitch axis attaches to the support bracket and to the intermediate bracket. A second linear actuator to rotate the mirror about a yaw axis is attached to a point fixed to the intermediate bracket and to the back surface of the mirror.

The invention relates to a side minor assembly (1) for a ground vehicle, the side mirror assembly (1) comprising two mirrors (5, 6) distributed parallel to a main axis (Z12) of the side minor assembly (1), and both configured to be secured to the ground vehicle. The side mirror assembly (1) comprises a spacer actuator (20) for moving the two minors (5, 6) relative to each other, between a primary position, wherein the mirrors (5, 6) are at a first distance from each other along the main axis (Z12), and a secondary position, wherein the mirrors (5, 6) are at a second distance (Zd2) from each other along the main axis (Z12), the second distance (Zd2) being greater than the first distance. At least when the mirrors (5, 6) are in the secondary position, at least one empty see-through opening (22, 24) is provided along the main axis (Z12), between the minors (5, 6), so that a user may see beyond the side mirror assembly (1) through said at least one see-through opening (22, 24).

The invention relates to a side view mirror assembly (10) comprising a first mirror (12) and a second mirror (12), a lower arm (24, 240) and an upper arm (18, 180) for mounting said assembly to a vehicle, wherein said lower and upper arms (24, 240, 18, 180) are linked by a structural element (30), wherein first and second mirrors (12, 14) are coupled to respective lower and upper arms (24, 240, 18, 180) and in that said structural element (30) integrates the first and second mirrors (12, 14) and is transparent.

A power telescoping external vehicle rearview assembly comprising a drive gear assembly for telescopically moving a rearview head between a retracted and an extended position is disclosed. An embodiment of the rearview assembly comprises a bracket mountable to a vehicle, a rearview head telescopically mounted to the bracket via a plurality of arm assemblies, a rearview element mounted to the rearview head, an electric motor mounted to the rearview head, and a gear assembly connected between the motor and the plurality of arm assemblies. An embodiment of the gear assembly comprises pinion drive gear assemblies with rolling clutches for selectively disengaging the motor from the arm assemblies, a fixed clutch assembly for transferring power from the motor to the pinion drive gear assemblies, and a drive shaft connecting the fixed clutch assembly to the pinion drive gear assemblies.

A system for automotive trailer tracking side view mirrors where the side view mirrors are dynamically adjusted to follow and track a trailer, semi-trailer, or other towed load during turning, backing or other maneuvers. The driver is provided with an optimized view of the rear of the trailer without the need to manually adjust side view mirrors. As the vehicle and trailer turn and articulate, the side view mirror system automatically adjusts to turn, rotate, and follow the trailer. The system may provide imaging sensors, digital cameras, Lidar sensors, or other sensor modalities as input to an electronic control module. The control module is provided with image or sensor data regarding the location, angle or orientation of optical markers or targets installed on the trailer. Alternatively, the control module is provided with high resolution imaging or sensor data and applies machine vision and object recognition algorithm to identify the position of the trailer. The control modules provides a control signal output to the side view mirror motors and actuators, to dynamically adjust the side view mirrors, with a frequency response of less than 100 ms in order to provide the driver with a clear unobstructed view.

A display mirror assembly having a mount operably coupled to a vehicle interior. The mount includes one of a ball and a socket extending forwardly therefrom. An engagement plate is pivotally coupled with the mount via the other of a ball and a socket extending rearwardly from the engagement plate. The engagement plate includes a first support member and a second support member pivotally coupled to the first support member. A carrier plate is operably coupled with the engagement plate. The carrier plate supports a rear housing on a rear portion thereof. A glass element is operably coupled with the carrier plate. A display module is configured to be turned to an on state and an off state. An actuator device is disposed on a bottom surface of the housing and is operably coupled with the glass element. The actuator device is adjustable to tilt the glass element.

The invention relates to a side view mirror assembly (10) comprising a first mirror (12) and a second mirror (12), a lower arm (24, 240) and an upper arm (18, 180) for mounting said assembly to a vehicle, wherein said lower and upper arms (24, 240, 18, 180) are linked by a structural element (30), wherein first and second mirrors (12, 14) are coupled to respective lower and upper arms (24, 240, 18, 180) and in that said structural element (30) integrates the first and second mirrors (12, 14) and is transparent.
