Abstract: An exterior rear view mirror, for a motor vehicle, with an exterior rear view mirror housing formed in at least two parts, which comprises an opening for a mirror glass, and houses at least one base bracket, on which the mirror glass is adjustably arranged. The exterior rear view mirror housing consists at least of a first housing part and a second housing part, which are connected to both each other as well as to the base bracket, in each case. Locking connections are provided at least between the first housing part and the second housing part, as well as between the housing parts and the base bracket, in each case.

Abstract: A mirror base cover for an exterior rear view mirror assembly of a motor vehicle is described, which is provided with an opening for a part on the mirror base side of an articulated connection of a base bracket, which is preferably housed in an exterior rear view mirror housing, to a mirror base, which is covered by the mirror base cover. The opening has a larger design than is necessary for the part on the mirror base side of the articulated connection. A section of the opening remaining between the edge of the opening and the part on the mirror base side of the articulated connection is closed by a mirror base cap assembly. The mirror base cap assembly consists of a mirror base cap, only partly covering the remaining section of the opening, and a seal, moulded onto the mirror base cap, overlapping a gap remaining between the mirror base cap and the edge of the opening.

Abstract: An exterior rear view minor of a motor vehicle, which comprises an exterior rear view minor housing and at least one electrical connection to at least one electrical component at least partly housed in the inside of the exterior rear view minor housing. The electrical connection comprises at least one connection cable and at least one plug connection. The plug connection comprises a first plug part connected to the electrical component at least by means of one section of the at least one connection cable, and a second plug part assigned to the first plug part, fixed in the exterior rear view minor housing.

Abstract: An exterior rear view mirror housing, which consists of at least a first housing part and a second housing part, and which comprises an opening on its rear side for a mirror glass, whereby the second housing part contains the walls surrounding the opening. The first housing part and at least one of the walls of the second housing part surrounding the opening comprise inner surfaces which face each other oppositely. On at least one of the inner surfaces which face each other oppositely, at least one ridge is arranged, which runs parallel to the rear side and extends from the one inner surface up to a remaining clearance to the opposing inner surface.

Abstract: A lighting device with at least one lighting unit for vehicles, preferably motor vehicles. The lighting device comprises at least one illuminant unit with one circuit board, and with at least one illuminant attached to the circuit board, connected to the conductive paths of the circuit board through contacts. The illuminant is positioned at the front face of the circuit board in order to configure the lighting device so that it can be manufactured simply and economically in a particularly flat configuration and in any curved shape. The lighting device is advantageously used in vehicles, preferably in motor vehicles.

Abstract: A rear-view unit with an airbag device is presented, wherein the rear-view unit is set up in such a way that it has expected break points and/or flexible connections in different positions. The rear-view unit is completely clad by an air pocket of the airbag device.

Abstract: The invention is related to a method for assembly a turn signal indicator module mounted into a rear view mirror comprising a housing. A LED, a light guide and a lens of the turn signal indicator module are mounted in steps as: Mounting the LED on a printed circuit board, fixing the printed circuit board at the light guide to define a strict relation between the LED and the light guide and mounting the light guide, the lens and the housing to form a turn signal indicator module.

Abstract: A mirror base is proposed that is extruded at least partially out of plastic and which retains its rigidity via long steel bolts, which at the same time produce the fastening to the vehicle.

Abstract: An exterior mirror is proposed, which is configured with an LED as a signal light in the simplest manner. A contact body at the LED facilitates simple assembly and simple contacting of the LED.

Abstract: The invention is related to an external rear view mirror assembly including a positive connection that fits mirror components as a support frame mounted to a mirror housing or shell. The positive connection is a connector having a two part snap-fit connector with a first snap-fit connector part and a second snap-fit connector part.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mirror head for an exterior rear view mirror for motor vehicles, comprising a mirror housing (3), which is fixed to the mirror support (4). To minimise vibrations caused by the force of the wind or similar, the mirror housing (3) has a partial flexibility in relation to the mirror support (4). By subjecting the mirror housing (3) to an appropriate force, said housing can be displaced in relation to the mirror support (4). A flexible connection between the mirror housing (3) and the mirror support (4) permits the vibrations at least to be minimised. The mirror head is designed for use as an exterior rear view mirror for motor vehicles.

Abstract: The invention relates to an exterior mirror of a vehicle with an opening facing rearward in assembled state, in a housing, with a cavity, into which a mirror can be received, and a forward facing rear wall, confining the cavity, with an exterior surface. At least two different light functions can be performed on the outer surface and/or the mirror, wherein the light functions comprise illuminants, which are grouped in one or several modules within the housing.

Abstract: Light for vehicles, preferably for motor vehicles. The light has a housing having at least a housing front part and a housing rear wall, said housing being provided with at least one lighting source whose rays pass to the outside. In order to design the light such that it can be manufactured easily and economically in any desired conformation, the lighting source is attached to a lighting source carrier whose conformation corresponds at least in part to the inside contour of the light housing. The light is advantageously used for motor vehicles.
