Abstract: A magnetic field generation mechanism is confirmed by combining a plurality of magnets that generate magnetic fields in different directions. Since the magnetic field strength of the magnet for initialization magnetic field can be increased without increasing its thickness by providing a magnet for amplification that generates a magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the magnet for initialization, a compact, thin device can be realized utilizing a magneto-optical recording device capable of direct overwrite on switched connection multilayer film. Further, by including a rotatable biased magnet, the device can also be used on prior art rewritable magneto-optical discs.

Abstract: A mirror angle adjusting device for a door mirror assembly for use in motor vehicles has an operating lever, and first and second connecting members for sequentially transmitting to a mirror holder vertical and horizontal movements of the lever for angle adjustment. Smooth operation of the angle adjustment of a mirror can be performed by a connection between the lever and the first connecting member, and between the first connecting member and the second connecting member. The first connecting member can include a first joint for connecting with the lever, and a second joint for connecting the first joint with the second connecting member.

Abstract: The present invention relates a heater-equipped outer rearview mirror having a flat heater positioned between a mirror and a mirror holder. The flat heater has a terminal fixing portion which protrudes from a back face thereof and is connected to terminals of lead wires. The mirror holder includes a box, which is provided at the back face thereof so as to accommodate the terminal fixing portion, a hole, which penetrates therethrough to permit lead wires connected to the terminals at one end and to a connector at the other end to pass therethrough from the front face of the mirror holder toward the back face thereof, and a connector holding portion which protrudes from the back face of the mirror holder so as to hold the connector therein. With the above construction, the holding of the connector is effected by merely inserting the connector into the connector holding portion of the mirror holder. Therefore, the secure mounting of the connector in the mirror case is ensured.
