Publication number: 20090040639Abstract: In a vehicle outside mirror device, a clutch gear has a first guide portion that is formed in an inner position with respect to an outer circumference of the clutch gear and a clutch holder has a second guide portion that is formed in an inner position with respect to an outer circumference of the clutch holder. The clutch gear and the clutch holder relatively move in a direction of an axis of a shaft, to which the clutch gear is rotatably attached and to which the clutch holder is attached so as not to be rotatable, by guiding along the first guide portion and the second guide portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2008Publication date: February 12, 2009Inventor: Hiroyasu ONUKI

Patent number: 7441912Abstract: An outside mirror device for a vehicle includes a mirror assembly that is rotatably attached to a body of the vehicle through an electric retracting unit and a base. The electric retracting unit includes bearing portions at both ends of a first stage gear of a rotational force transmitting mechanism. The bearing portions are supported by bearing holes in the bearing member as a single member, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2007Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: Ichikoh Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Hiroyasu Onuki

Patent number: 7427142Abstract: A vehicle outside mirror includes a drive unit that generates a driving force, a plate that holds the drive unit, a drive gear that transmits the driving force from the drive unit, a gearcase having a housing for the drive gear, a fixing unit that fixes the plate and the gearcase in an integrated manner, and a lubricant blocking structure formed between the housing and the fixing unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2005Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignee: Ichikoh Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Hiroyasu Onuki
-
Patent number: 7407298Abstract: A vehicle door mirror is configured to be mounted on outside of a vehicle in a retractable manner from a set position to a retracted position. When moving to the set position or the retracted position, the vehicle door mirror is moved at a first speed from a start position to a position right before a stop position, and is further moved from the position right before the stop position to the stop position at a second speed that is slower than the first speed.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2006Date of Patent: August 5, 2008Assignee: Ichikoh Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyasu Onuki, Takashi Ogawa, Hajime Yagi
