Abstract: Adjusting device for the outside mirror of a motor vehicle, comprising a drive housing, on which is mounted by means of a central ball and cap bearing a mirror glass carrier, which is provided preferably with intersecting metal toothed strips, chains or the like, which, enveloping the shell-like drive housing, are in engagement with the output toothed gears of two drive motors, disposed in the drive housing, and comprising a line feed-through, which is designed preferably as a feed-through plug and belongs to the drive housing, for connecting the electrical consuming devices to the outer current and control lines, whereby the line feed-through is molded to an adapter element, which can be inserted into a recess of the drive housing and which preferably closes said drive housing so as to seal.

Abstract: Adjusting device for the outside mirror of a motor vehicle, comprising a drive housing, on which is mounted a mirror glass carrier that is mounted by means of a central ball and cap bearing and that is provided with intersecting toothed strips, chains or the like, which, enveloping the shell-like drive housing, are in engagement with output toothed gears of two drive motors, disposed in the drive housing, and comprising an electric contactor for the mirror glass to supply electric energy to heat the mirror, dim the mirror or the like, wherein the contact connecting lines are guided through the central axis of the ball and cap bearing.

Abstract: Actuator for a mirror disc to be mounted on a motor vehicle with a drive housing that may be fixed relative to the motor vehicle and accepts at least one electric drive in a drive chamber and a carrier element for the mirror disc. The carrier element is mounted such that it may be pivoted relative to the drive housing around two different pivot axes and may be driven by the at least one electric drive. The drive housing is constructed in two parts, forming the aforementioned drive chamber and a component chamber for accepting electronic components. The component chamber is separated from the drive chamber.

Abstract: A motor vehicle rearview mirror, comprising a mirror housing; a carrier, which is mounted therein and on which a mirror glass drive, which includes at least one drive motor and a downstream step down gear and with which a mirror glass carrier, which can be driven by the mirror glass drive, can be swiveled around two swivel axes, arranged at right angles to each other; and connections at least to supply at least one drive motor. At least the supply of at least one drive motor occurs by means of an electronic module, which is connected electrically to the mirror glass drive by means of at least one first output plug.

Abstract: Adjustable rearview mirror for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, an aircraft, or a water craft, having a drive housing that is connected to a mirror carrier in a rotationally secured manner, with the connection between the mirror carrier and the drive housing being a snap connection.

Abstract: An actuating mechanism for a motor vehicle, wherein a first element can be fastened to a vehicle; and a second element, which is connected to the first element so as to swivel around at least one axis of rotation, exhibits a mounting for a manipulatable member. The second element is connected to at least one adjustable element, which can be actuated by a drive between the first and the second element, and to at least one friction element, which rests against the first element. The actuating mechanism may be used with a rearview mirror to provide an especially high controlling torque and a frictional force that is as constant as possible over its life time, whereby the number of parts is kept to a minimum and the assembly is especially simple. At least one friction element and one adjustable element form a one piece friction-adjustable element, which serves as the connecting element between the first and the second elements, and the friction-adjustable element is under a tensile load.

Abstract: A rear view mirror coupling assembly includes a glass carrier for supporting a mirror and including a spherical projection having a first spherical surface and a second spherical surface, a mirror drive housing including a mirror drive mechanism and including a spherical recess having a first surface, a spherical shell disposed between and in contact with the spherical projection and the spherical recess, the spherical shell having a first spherical surface contacting the second spherical surface of the spherical projection and a second spherical surface contacting the first surface of the spherical recess, a threaded bolt having a distal end and a head including a spherical underside surface in contact with the first spherical surface of the glass carrier, a threaded nut threaded onto the distal end of the threaded bolt to secure the glass carrier, the spherical shell, and the mirror drive housing together, and a spring element tensioned by the nut for urging the glass carrier, the spherical shell, and the m

Abstract: The invention relates to a drive device for a vehicle rearview mirror, the positioning of which is achieved by means of a worm gear mounted by means of a coupling part in a single bearing, which is provided with an annular collar that engages in an upper annular slot of the coupling part. The intention is to improve the retaining force of the bearing.

Abstract: A drive device for a motor vehicle rear-view mirror comprises a spur gear which may be driven by the shaft of an electric motor, and which is supported by a spherical bearing. The rear-view mirror is carried by a drive plate which is journaled for spherical movement about a spherical seat spaced laterally of the spur gear. A hollow pin extends from said drive plate, being non-rotatably connected for articulation therewith, the hollow pin having external threads. A guide mandrel extends from the spur gear into the hollow pin in sliding relationship, and elastically yieldable snap hooks extend from the spur gear outwardly of the guide mandrel and the hollow pin, and have hook parts for threadedly engaging the threads on the hollow pin.
