Problems solved by technology

However, in the opposite position, depending on the specific spring force and other internal forces, the mechanism may be prone to inadvertent movement out of the stable position, which may be caused by the user adjusting the position of the mirror by grasping and moving the housing
With standard prisms, such inadvertent actuation can be inconvenient

Abstract

The present invention provides a rear view mirror (10) for a vehicle (12) including a housing (14) defining an interior cavity (16) and an actuating mechanism (18) coupled within the interior of the housing (14). The actuation mechanism (18) includes an arcuate first track (20) fixed to the housing (14). The mounting plate (26) is rotatably coupled within the cavity (16) of the housing (14) at its first end (28) and defines a generally vertically arranged second Two tracks (30). A toggle unit (38) is coupled within the lumen (16) of the housing (14) and is rotatable about an axis (40) between a first position and a second position. A first arm (42) of the toggle unit (38) extends from the toggle unit (38) and defines therein an opening (44) alignable with the first track (20) having two extending away from each other Opposite facing cam surfaces (48). The actuation mechanism (18) also includes an actuation pin (52) extending through the first track (20), the second track (30) and the opening (44).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to a rear view mirror for an automobile, and more particularly to a mechanism for moving a reflective surface of a mirror substrate through a predetermined angle. Background technique [0002] Various types of mirrors can be used in conjunction with the interior of the vehicle. Generally, rear view mirrors are mounted adjacent to the windshield by being attached to the windshield or to an interior component adjacent to the headliner. Such attachment is accomplished, for example, by a mount coupled with an actuating mechanism inside the mirror housing. The base plate is attached to the mirror housing and is typically configured to present an image of the scene at the rear of the vehicle, and is therefore adjustable by movement of the housing around the mounting structure. [0003] In the case of standard rear view mirrors, the substrate is typically a prism-type mirror providing a certain viewing angle at which...
