  • Exterior rearview mirror
    Patent number: 5781353
    Abstract: An external mirror for a motor vehicle which includes a mirror base which can be fixed to the body of the vehicle, a mirror housing which is swingable with respect to the base and which surrounds the mirror glass on all sides and projects rearwardly of the glass to form a generally encircling bead structure, a mounting plate which bears the mirror glass, a cap part which is releasably fixable to the mounting plate, and a base part of the mirror housing. To improve the appearance of the mirror device, the cap part of the housing is constructed to project rearwardly beyond the plane of the mirror glass, with the rearward projecting part of the cap forming at least a substantial part of the edge bead.

  • Holding device for a tiltable mirror for vehicles
    Patent number: 5098058
    Abstract: To reliably reduce the risk of injury in the return tilting of a mirror housing from a tilted end position into a position for normal use, the mirror housing initially swings against an overcomable stop, which ensures a safety distance between the lifted mirror housing edge and the mirror base. This safety distance is dimensioned such that a trapping of fingers between the mirror housing edge and the mirror base does not occur. The stop can only be overcome by the mirror housing by renewed application of force to the mirror housing, after which the mirror housing then tilts into the position for normal use.
