Method for forming a reflective element for a vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly
11628773 · 2023-04-18 · ·

A method for forming a reflective element for a vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes providing a roll of an ultrathin glass sheet, the ultrathin glass sheet having a thickness dimension of less than or equal to 0.8 mm and greater than or equal to 0.3 mm. An elongated sheet of transparent plastic material if formed. The elongated sheet has a planar first side and a planar second side opposite the planar first side and separated from the planar first side by a thickness of the elongated sheet. The ultrathin glass sheet is unrolled from the roll of the ultrathin glass sheet and the unrolled ultrathin glass sheet is applied to the first side of the elongated sheet. A reflective layer is applied to the second side of the elongated sheet.

Drive for an adjusting instrument, in particular for adjusting an exterior vision unit of a motor vehicle

Drive for an adjusting instrument, comprising a single motor, in particular an electric motor, and a driving shaft coupled therewith. The driving shaft cooperates via a transmission selectively with a first and a second driving path respectively. The drive comprises furthermore an operating mechanism with which the transmission is switchable between the first and the second driving path. The operating mechanism is energized by the motor via the driving shaft and is configured, upon successive energization of the motor from rest of the drive, to select alternately the first and the second driving path as initial driving path.

ADJUSTMENT DEVICE FOR AN EXTERNAL VISION UNIT OF A VEHICLE

The disclosure relates to an adjustment device for adjusting an orientation of an external vision element of a vehicle about a first pivot axis and a second pivot axis. The adjustment device comprises a base for coupling to a vehicle; a frame pivotably coupled to the base about a first pivot axis and a second pivot axis; and a drive unit for driving the frame pivotally about the first pivot axis and the second pivot axis. The drive unit comprises a first electromotor connected to a first driven element for driving the frame in rotation about the first pivot axis, and a second electromotor connected to a second driven element for driving the frame in rotation about the second pivot axis. The second electromotor has a lower maximum power consumption compared to a maximum power consumption of the first electromotor.
