Abstract: The invention relates to an implantable suspension device (1) for fixing an elongated flexible implant (G) in a desired position, comprising a suspension plate (100) and a suture element (200) engaging with the suspension plate (100), the suture element (200) comprising a first end section (201) and a second end section (202), wherein the second end section (202) comprises a connecting section (240) configured to be connected to said implant (G) or a medical textile (500). The invention further relates to an assembly device (2) comprising a holder (400) configured to hold said suspension plate (100) and a guiding rope (300) configured to be moved together with said suture element (200) relative to the holder (400) resulting in the suture element (200) engaging with the suspension plate (100) to assemble said implantable suspension device (1) and a method for assembling an implantable suspension device (1).

Abstract: An exterior rearview mirror for a motor vehicle has a housing with a mirror pane pivotably connected therein. A first and a second and cable pull have first ends connected to the mirror pane. The first and second cable pulls act on the mirror pane in a same direction to pivot the mirror pane about a first axis and act on the mirror pane opposite directions to pivot the mirror pane about a second axis extending perpendicularly to the first axis. The first and second cable pulls have second ends. A transverse member is provided, and the second ends of the cable pulls are connected to opposite ends of the transverse member. A ball joint is connected to the housing. An actuating lever is connected to the ball joint and is accessible from the interior of the vehicle for actuating the ball joint. An arm is connected to the transverse member and the ball joint.

The cable pulls act on the mirror pane in a same direction to pivot the mirror pane about a first mirror axis and act on the mirror pane in opposite directions to pivot the mirror pane about a second mirror axis extending perpendicular to the first axis. The cable pulls have second ends connected to opposite ends of a transverse member. A ball joint is connected to the housing. An actuating lever is connected to the ball joint and is accessible from the interior of the vehicle for actuating the ball joint. An arm connects the transverse member to the ball joint and extends at an angle to the actuating lever.

Abstract: An external rear view mirror for motor vehicles is provided, and includes a housing that conforms to a streamlined shape of the vehicle. The housing serves to accommodate an adjustable mirror body. The forward end of the housing, as viewed in a forward direction of travel of the vehicle, merges with a part of the vehicle. To avoid breaks and steps in the vicinity of this end, the forward end of the mirror housing is adjustable, especially with respect to its height, when the mirror has already been mounted on the vehicle.

Abstract: An exterior rearview mirror for a motor vehicle has a base for connecting the rearview to the vehicle. A pivot axle is positioned in the base so as to extend vertically or at an acute angle to the vertical. A housing is connected to the base so as to be pivotable about the pivot axle for allowing a forced folding of the rearview mirror in a folding direction from a rest position into a folded position. The housing has an opening for receiving an adjustable mirror pane. A lever with a first and a second end is connected with the first end to the pivot axle. The lever extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle or at an acute angle to this direction. The housing has a housing section facing the base. The lever penetrates the housing section and extends into the interior of the housing. A spring rests at the second end of the lever for forcing the housing against the base.

Abstract: A rearview mirror for motor vehicles has a housing and a mirror assembly pivotably supported in the housing. A first Bowden cable arrangement and a second Bowden cable arrangement are connected to the mirror assembly for pivoting the mirror asembly. The first and second Bowden cable arrangements are actuatable so as to act alternatively in a same direction and in opposite directions on the mirror assembly. The first and second Bowden cable arrangements each have a sleeve and a cable enclosed by the sleeve. The cable is pressure-resistant and pull-resistant and is guided without play in the sleeve.

Abstract: An external rearview mirror for a motor vehicle is provided. The mirror can be pivoted by a swivel arm counter to the direction of travel. To improve the pivot movement and provide a smooth transition to a stationary part of the mirror, the swivel arm is guided in the vicinity of that end thereof that is proximate to the pivot location, via a guide rod or a curved guide, so that during pivoting, the mirror housing also moves away in the vicinity of that edge thereof that is proximate to the pivot location.

Abstract: An external mirror for a motor vehicle is provided. The mirror includes parts that are pivotable to a limited extent between two end positions. An electric motor serves to pivot these parts, with a slip coupling being interposed between the electric motor and the pivotable parts. To be able to automatically establish a synchronization between the pivotable parts and the electric motor, supply of power to the motor is effected via contact strips having an effective length that is greater than the pivot path of the pivotable parts such that even in the end positions of these parts, power can still be supplied to the electric motor. A loop that is associated with the contact strips is connected to the electric motor in such a way as to move therewith.

Abstract: An external rearview mirror for a motor vehicle is provided. The mirror housing, in which is disposed a mirror pane, is secured on a mounting in such a way as to be pivotable about a vertical axis into a park position. In a region remote from the pivot axis, the mirror housing is guided by curved guide means that includes teeth with which is associated at least one gear wheel in such a way that rotation of the gear wheel effects a pivoting of the mirror housing.
