Publication number: 20120206827Abstract: To avoid wind noises and to reduce soiling of mirror glass during travel in the rain, the exterior rear view mirror for a motor vehicle has a droplet channel in a first circumferential region of the mirror housing that includes the housing top and a separation edge in a second circumferential region on the housing bottom. The droplet channel and the separation edge overlap in a lateral region. Rain droplets that strike the mirror housing during travel flow both on the bottom housing side and on the top housing side toward the rear edge of the housing. Water droplets flowing on the bottom are collected by the separation edge and are blown away by the air flow which is directed down at the separation edge. On the housing top side, the droplets are collected by the droplet channel and conducted away laterally toward the housing bottom.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2012Publication date: August 16, 2012Applicant: DR. ING. H.C.F. PORSCHE AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Thomas Wolf, Gabi Koerner, Marcus Mueller

Publication number: 20110157734Abstract: A motor vehicle has an exterior rearview mirror, which is fixed to a vehicle door by a mirror baseplate. An opening, through which the mirror baseplate engages, is provided in an outer skin of the vehicle door, and the mirror baseplate is secured by a multi-point support and a central attachment screw. The mirror baseplate contains, at its free end, a conical attachment which engages in an opening of a door shaft reinforcement, formed as an extruded profile part, a hollow profile part, or a profiled sheet-stamped part, of the vehicle door, as a result of which the exterior rearview mirror is pre-positioned in a positionally correct fashion in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The mirror baseplate is additionally supported on the door shaft reinforcement by a five-point support.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2010Publication date: June 30, 2011Applicant: DR. ING. H.C.

Patent number: 7204600Abstract: An outside rear view mirror for vehicles, particularly passenger cars, includes at least one mirror base fastened to the vehicle, a mirror head which can be swivelled relative to the mirror base, an intermediate member whose one end is connected in a hinged manner by way of a first swivel axis with the mirror base, and whose other end is connected in a hinged manner by way of a second swivel axis with the mirror head. At least one spring element extends transversely with respect to the swivel axes and which, in the driving position of the outside rear view mirror, presses the mirror head against the mirror base. So that, in the driving position of the outside rear view mirror, the mirror head can be held in position at the mirror base by simple devices in a stiff and play-free manner, it is provided that a centering detent device effective in at least two planes is disposed between the mirror head and the mirror base.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2004Date of Patent: April 17, 2007Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.F.
