  • Patent number: 6717109
    Abstract: A heatable mirror having a transparent surface element made from a substrate of inorganic material and at least one reflective layer as well as at least one heat-conducting layer applied to the substrate and/or the reflective layer and which has contact elements. The heat-conducting layer is formed by conductive particles having an average diameter of 3 to 100 &mgr;m at least partially embedded in the surface of the substrate and/or the reflective layer and the heat-conducting layer is designed to be over the entire surface or strip-like, wherein the non-conductive region for the strip-like embodiment is an insulating separating layer between the strips.

  • Patent number: 6563625
    Abstract: The invention relates to an eclectrochromic glass component, particularly for motor vehicle mirrors, which contains a doped ion-conducting basic polymer (4) as the ion-conducting layer. The electrochromic glass component consists, for example of a glass substrate (1) as well as a layer system having an electrochromic layer (2), a mirror layer (3), a doped polymer membrane (4), for example of polybenzimidazole polymer, a proton store (5), a rear electrode (6) and a polyester film (7). The layer system is sealed by a seal (8) which closes the coating system towards the glass substrate (1).

  • Patent number: 6174062
    Abstract: In an adjustable rearview mirror, especially an outside mirror, for a motor vehicle, whereby a first element (1) is affixable to the vehicle and a second element (2), rotatably attached to the first element (1), has or forms a mount for a mirror (4), whereby the two elements (1, 2) are designed as dish-shaped elements (1, 2) that nest with one another at least partially and are guided or bear against one another via outside and inside areas of contact forming a segment of a spherical surface and whereby a drive (6) is provided between the first and the second element (1, 2) is proposed, characterized in that the outer element (2) is designed on part of its inner surface with a gear-tooth system extending along a circular section of the inner surface of the outer element (2), with which a pinion (8) of a drive (6) mounted in the inside of the inner element (1) meshes for adjustment of the outer element (2) relative to the inner element (1), by which means can be achieved with a simple construction a design tha
