Patent number: 9511713Abstract: A side view mirror having a rotatable housing comprises a cover plate mounted on an exterior of a vehicle body, wherein an inside and outside of the cover plate are divided based on the vehicle body. A stay includes a lever disposed at an inner side of the cover plate. An up/down/left/right angle adjusting part is integrated with a connection bar, connected to the lever through the connection bar, and configured to be movable in up/down and left/right directions with respect to an outer surface of the cover plate. A folding supporting part is integrated with the up/down/left/right angle adjusting part at the outer surface of the up/down/left/right angle adjusting part and connected to the mirror-integrated housing. A mirror-integrated housing is foldably or unfoldably coupled with the folding supporting part, and an angle of the mirror-integrated housing is adjusted in up/down and left/right directions by the up/down/left/right angle adjusting part.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2014Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors Corporation, SMR Poong Jeong Automotive Mirrors Korea Ltd.Inventors: Ill Soo Kim, Jong Sik Bae, Chan Mook Choi, Chang Seok Lee, Dong Young Jang, Kyoung Joon Lee, Myung Ho Jung

Patent number: 7318246Abstract: The present invention includes clips elements that are advantageously employed with vehicle wiper blades. Particularly preferred clip elements may comprise a clip body inserted into a tip of a wiper blade, and a latching cover rotatably installed at the clip body. In preferred aspects, the latching cover can be releasably secured to the clip body and can prevent the clip body from being withdrawn from the tip of a wiper blade during a secured state. When a user rotates the latching cover after releasing the latching cover from the clip body, the overall clip can easily be detached from the tip of the blade, thereby enabling economical part replacement.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2005Date of Patent: January 15, 2008Assignee: Hyundai Motor CompanyInventor: Ill-Soo Kim

Patent number: 6958585Abstract: A windshield wiper system activated by sensing rainwater via a rain sensor placed inside the wiping pattern when a multifunction switch lever is in automatic mode. A rain sensor module activates a relay for low speeds and/or a relay for high speeds depending on the detected amount of rainwater. A first voltage detecting means detects battery voltage, a second voltage detecting means detects voltage of an automatic signal, and a microcomputer adjusts the sensitivity of the rain sensor based on a voltage ratio of the automatic signal voltage and the battery voltage. A reformed wiring structure connects the multifunction switch and the rain sensor module, which contributes to a reduction of the weight and cost of the wiring harness. The sensitivity of the rain sensor is not affected by a voltage change.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2002Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignee: Hyundai Motor CompanyInventor: Ill-Soo Kim
