  • Patent number: 10259391
    Abstract: This side mirror device includes: a mirror base; a housing a bearing mechanism; a mirror; an inclining mechanism; an internal housing; and a cover, wherein the bearing mechanism and the inclining mechanism are contained in an interior of the housing, and wherein the bearing mechanism and the inclining mechanism are formed so as to face each other across the mirror base along an axis line of the bearing mechanism, wherein the housing has an upper cover and a lower cover that are disposed so as to face each other, wherein the upper cover and the lower cover whose outer surface shapes form an mirror-image symmetry with each other, wherein the cover forms, on a rear side, an opening edge portion that exposes the mirror, wherein the opening edge portion is made of an involuted recess portion that is a rear-side end portion of the cover being bent inwardly toward the mirror, and wherein with the rear-side end portion of the internal housing is inserted into the involuted recess portion, the rear-side end portion of

  • Patent number: 6941611
    Abstract: An energy absorbing wiper system for a vehicle, including: a pivot shaft to which a wiper arm is fixed; a pivot shaft holder into which the pivot shaft is rotatably inserted; an impact absorbing portion provided between the pivot shaft and the pivot shaft holder, the impact absorbing portion being adapted to be broken or deformed when a certain load is applied thereto to thereby permit the movement of the pivot shaft in a sinking direction relative to the pivot shaft holder; and, an energy absorbing member interposed between the wiper arm and the pivot shaft holder, the energy absorbing member adapted to be broken or deformed while permitting the sink of the pivot shaft when the pivot shaft moves in the sinking direction after the impact absorbing portion has been broken or deformed, to thereby absorb the moving energy of the pivot shaft.
