  • Patent number: 10399497
    Abstract: A vehicle door mirror in which a pivoting member fixedly housed within a mirror housing on which a mirror is mounted is pivotably supported on a support shaft implanted in a base member mounted on a side door, wherein in order to restrict an end of pivoting of at least one of a forward inclined position and a rearward inclined position of the mirror housing, a restricting face is formed on one of the support shaft and the base member, and a restricting part is provided on the pivoting member, the restricting part being capable of making line contact with the restricting face in one plane orthogonal to an axis of the support shaft. This prevents excessive stress from occurring when restricting the range of pivoting of a mirror housing.

  • Patent number: 10394041
    Abstract: The disclosure provides to a birefringent polarizer assembly for spatially separating polarization states of a light beam, in particular in the spectral range below 300 nm. The assembly includes a first prism on the light input side and a further prism on the light output side, which are arranged along a principal light incidence direction. The first prism has a first light entrance surface and a first light exit surface. The further prism has a further light entrance surface, facing the first light exit surface, and a further light exit surface. The prisms in each case have an optical principal crystal axis oriented substantially perpendicularly to the principal light incidence direction. The crystal axes of two adjacent prisms are oriented perpendicularly to one another. A normal to the further light exit surface forms an angle not equal to 0° with the principal light incidence direction.
