Embodiment Construction

[0064] In the following embodiments, the terms describing the orientation refer to the orientation of the mirror when assembled on the vehicle and during normal use. Thus, the terms "forward" or "front" refer to the front of the vehicle, while "rear" refers to the rear end of the vehicle. Similarly, the term "lower" refers to the part closest to the ground, while "upper" refers to the part away from or away from the ground.

[0065] figure 1 A mirror assembly 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown. The mirror assembly 1 comprises a housing 10 comprising a first housing part 12 and a second housing part 14 , a mirror 16 and a flexible engagement member 30 . Although not shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the mirror assembly 1 is mounted on the exterior of the vehicle body using any known fixing mechanism or fixing system. A mirror assembly of the type shown in this embodiment is mounted with the first side 10a of the housing facing the v...

Abstract

The invention relates to a mirror assembly (1) for a vehicle comprising a housing (10) having: a first housing part (12); a second housing part (14), The second housing part is removably connected to the first housing part (12) to define a recess therebetween; and a reflector mounted within said housing. A flexible engagement member (30) is disposed between the first housing portion (12) and the second housing portion, the flexible engagement member (30) along the interface between the first housing portion and the second housing portion At least a portion of (18) extends. A flexible engagement member (30) comprising: a first member portion (40) extending inside a housing recess and releasably connected to at least a portion of said housing; and a second member portion (32) , the second member portion extends from the first member portion (40) at least to the outer surface of the housing (10). The second member portion (32) also extends at the interface (18) between a portion of the peripheral wall of the first housing portion (12) and a portion of the peripheral wall of the second housing portion (14). An operator can apply a force to the second member portion (32) of the flexible engagement member (30) to at least partially deform and / or displace the first member portion (40).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to mirror assemblies for vehicles. [0002] The invention can be applied to vehicles, especially heavy vehicles such as trucks, buses and construction equipment. Although the invention will be described with respect to vans or trucks, the invention is not limited to these particular types of vehicles but may also be used in other vehicles such as cars, vans and buses. Background technique [0003] Vehicle mirror assemblies are generally formed from two housing parts. Exterior vehicle mirror assemblies typically include a seal disposed about at least a portion of an interface between the two housing components. The seal improves the aerodynamic properties of the mirror assembly and reduces undesired howl when the vehicle is in motion. [0004] When a mirror assembly becomes damaged, it often must be disassembled to replace or repair components, or the assembly must be removed from the vehicle. Exterior vehicle mirror as...
