  • Mounting and control system for optical imaging systems
    Patent number: 6563102
    Abstract: A mounting and control system for a sensor module of a driver viewer enhancement system located external of a vehicle. The mounting and control system including a tube for supporting the sensor module and that is interconnected to a sleeve bearing by a ball and socket joint that provides for the limited pivotal adjustment of the module about a horizontal axis. The sleeve bearing is support by a mounting block, which provides for rotational adjustment of the sensor module about a vertical axis. The sleeve bearing has an inner hollow region having rectangular and trapezoidal cross-sectional configurations that extend within two vertical perpendicular planes. The tube is free to pivot within the sleeve bearing in the plane including the trapezoidal cross-section only, thereby providing for elevational adjustment of the sensor module.
