example 1

[0297] Example 1 Main seal with spacer

[0298] A thermal cure epoxy masterbatch was made using 96 parts by weight of Dow 431 epoxy novolac resin, 4 parts fumed silica, and 4 parts 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole. 2 parts by weight of the spacer materials described below were added to a small portion of the above masterbatch. A small amount of this epoxy / spacer mixture was then placed on a 1" x 2" x 0.085" thick chrome-coated glass so that the epoxy mixture was in contact with the chrome reflector. The 1" x 0.085" ITO-coated A 1" x 0.085" piece of glass was placed on top and the glass interlayer was clamped so that the glass piece was lowered to the lowest point onto the spacer material. The element is then cured at about 180 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes. Subsequently, once the element has returned to room temperature, look at the chrome and visually inspect the dent as if it were on surface 2.

example 2

[0299] Example 2 Primary Seal Material

[0300] Utilizing the heat cured epoxy of Example 1 with 140um glass beads resulted in a very severe visible dent pattern.

example 3

[0301] Example 3 Primary Seal Material

[0302] Utilizing the thermally cured epoxy of Example 1 plus plastic beads (Techpolymer, Grade XX-264-Z, 180um average particle size, Sekisui Plastics Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) did not induce a visible dent pattern.

Abstract

The invention relates to vehicle rearview mirror elements and an assembling unit for installing the elements. A mirror(110) according to the invention comprises an electro-optical mirror part(111) and a thin outline border(144) arranged around the electro-optical mirror part(111). The electro-optical mirror part(111) is born on a supporting frame according to a layer-type configuration with the helps of bonded heater and foam belt or can be jointed on an edge of a front surface of a front element of the electro-optical mirror part(111), and / or can be born and / or arranged on an edge of the supporting frame mechanically in an interlocking manner. Or, the border can be a coating strip or a thin coating material and can be molded at an appropriate position or be pre-molded and elongated elastically, so that the vehicle rearview mirror elements can be assembled. In a format, the border comprises a transversally extended wing which prevents the interior of the mirror frame from being seen via the border.
