Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a gear assembly (502) for an actuator (400), comprising a gear assembly (502) having a secondary tilt gear (620) and a secondary fold gear (622); wherein said secondary tilt gear (620) comprises a first spur gear portion (902), a first worm gear portion (904), and a first transition point (906), wherein said first transition point (906) divides said secondary tilt gear (620) into said first spur gear portion (902) and said first worm gear portion (904); wherein said secondary fold gear (622) comprises a second spur gear portion (912), a second worm gear portion (914), and a second transition point (916), wherein said second transition point (916) divides said secondary fold gear (622) into said second spur gear portion (912) and said second worm gear portion (914); and wherein said second worm gear portion (914) and said second spur gear portion (912) are formed as a single element.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provide for an actuator system for a rear view device of a motor vehicle, configured for adjustment of a component when being connected to the actuator system The actuator system may include a drive system arranged to rotate a bayonet gear, which is coupled via at least one engagement element to a latching barrel to axially move or rotate the latching barrel along or around a rotational axis, wherein the latching barrel is configured to engage into at least one of two worm gears or to rotate the engaged worm gear when being moved or rotated. The latching barrel may be cylindrically shaped with a cylindrical surface as an engagement surface and oppositely arranged first and second sides each directed towards one of the two worm gears.

Abstract: An actuator for a rear view device of a vehicle includes a body defining a folding axis for the rear view device, a tilt axle having a fastening means for torque-proof fastening the rear view device to the tilt axle and defining a tilting axis for the rear view device, an actuator housing being rotatable borne by the body and being configured for rotatable bearing the tilt axle, and a drive assembly being arranged completely within the actuator housing and being configured for rotating the actuator housing about the folding axis relative to the body by a folding angle and for rotating the tilt axle about the tilting axis relative to the actuator housing by a tilting angle.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a rear view device for a vehicle with one or more gaskets preventing water or other contaminants from entering the device between components, while allowing the components to move in relation to one another. In embodiments, the rear view device comprises a base adapted to be mounted to a side of the vehicle, a head for supporting at least one means for providing a rearward field of view disposed at a second attachment end of the base, an actuator connected to the second end of the base, and a shroud attached to the actuator, wherein the actuator may rotate the head in relation to the base. In embodiment, a foot gasket is attached to a foot of the base and includes a first lip portion that extends towards the shroud in a vertical direction, and a second soft lip portion that contacts the shroud in a horizontal direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to an actuator system (1) for a rear view device (10) of a motor vehicle, configured for adjustment of a component (11), preferably a rear view element (11), when being connected to the actuator system (1), said actuator system (1) comprising a drive system (2) suitable arranged to rotate a bayonet gear (3), which is coupled via at least one engagement element (31) to a latching barrel (4) to axially move or rotate the latching barrel (4) along or around a rotational axis (R), wherein the latching barrel (4) is configured to engage into at least one of two worm gears (51, 52) or to rotate the engaged worm gear (51, 52) when being moved or rotated, wherein the latching barrel (4) is cylindrically shaped with a cylindrical surface (43) as an engagement surface (43) and oppositely arranged first and second sides (41, 42) each directed towards one of the two worm gears (51, 52), wherein the two worm gears (51, 52) are arranged along the rotational axis (R) as a first worm gear (51) adjacent
