A mirror assembly attachable to a motor body near its rear end for providing a driver with a side view of oncoming traffic when backing into a carriageway, having a base (71) supporting and storing a mirror housing (72) which is adjusted for a mirror to reflect light from a side of the motor vehicle onto a conventional rear vision mirror (95) in front of the driver. Three other embodiments are also described. In the first, the mirror assembly comprises two angled mirrors to reflect light from each side of the vehicle; in the second, the mirror assembly is foldable using two uneven arms and, in the third, the mirror is storable and pivots about an axis of a post and rotates with the post between operative and stored positions. | ||||||
104 | Vehicle mirrors | EP84302620 | 1984-04-17 | EP0122811A3 | 1985-09-18 | Parry, Sheenagh Mary |
The vehicle mirrors 6 include a part 10 for mounting on a motor, or other, vehicle and a part 14 carrying a pair of mirrors 2, and movable relatively to the mounting part. The assembly is mounted (Figure 6) on a forward part of the vehicle in a position in which it is retracted from the driver's view in one relative position of the two parts. In this retracted position the mirrors 2, 4 lie flat adjacent the front of the vehicle. In the other, working position the mirrors can be seen by the driver and are positioned to afford him or her a view to each side of the forward part of the vehicle. This view is of assistance to the driver when the vehicle is to emerge from a minor road or waterway. The mirrors are raised to their working position by a remote control cable leading to a point adjacent the driver's seat. In other embodiments, the mirrors are retractable beneath an opening flap on the vehicle (Figure 7) and are permanently mounted on the vehicle's forward part (Figure 8). |

Example blind spot detection systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a primary vehicle detects a secondary vehicle ahead of the primary vehicle in an adjacent lane of traffic. A method determines dimensions of the secondary vehicle and estimates a vehicle class associated with the secondary vehicle based on the dimensions of the secondary vehicle. The method also identifies a side-view mirror location on the secondary vehicle and determines a blind spot associated with the secondary vehicle based on the vehicle class and the side-view mirror location. | ||||||

A system, method, and computer readable medium may include technology to enable optimal usage of automotive virtual mirrors. A gaze detector monitors a driver's eyes to determine if the driver is looking in the direction of a virtual mirror. If the driver is not looking in the direction of virtual mirror, all virtual mirrors are placed in a low operational mode. If the driver is looking in the direction of a virtual mirror, the virtual mirror being viewed is placed in a high operational mode and all other virtual mirrors are placed in the low operational mode. | ||||||

In a vehicle door mirror device, a through hole of a case is penetrated by a support shaft so as to rotatably support the case on the support shaft. Lower ribs are formed in a protruding state at a peripheral face of the through hole, and protrusion leading end faces of the lower ribs are capable of contacting the support shaft. A gap dimension between the peripheral face of the through hole and the support shaft can accordingly be made small, thereby enabling rattling of the case with respect to the support shaft to be suppressed. Moreover, the contact surface area between the peripheral face of the through hole and the support shaft can be made small, thereby enabling an increase in sliding resistance between the peripheral face of the through hole and the support shaft to be suppressed. | ||||||

A system for mitigating contamination of a lens of an exterior vehicular camera includes a passive air flow device disposed at the vehicle and configured to passively direct air flow across an outer surface of a lens of the camera to establish a passive air stream curtain. An active air flow device is operable to actively propel air across the outer surface of the lens of the camera to establish an active air stream curtain. A control is operable to activate and deactivate the active air flow device. When the vehicle is driven at a speed of travel below a threshold level, the control activates the active air flow device to actively propel air across the outer surface of the lens of the camera. When the vehicle is in motion, the passive air stream curtain deflects polluting particles away from the outer surface of the lens of the camera. | ||||||

An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror head having a mirror casing and a mirror reflective element. A mounting arm is configured for attachment at a side of the vehicle, with the mirror head adjustably mounted at the mounting arm. An adjustment mechanism adjusts the mirror head position relative to the mounting arm between a retracted position and an extended position. The adjustment mechanism, when adjusting the mirror head position, also adjusts a mirror head angle relative to the side of the vehicle. When the mirror head is in the retracted position, a mirror head surface is at a first plane, while, when the mirror head is in the extended position, the mirror head surface is at a second plane. The mirror head surface is angled more towards the side of the vehicle when in the second plane than when in the first plane. | ||||||

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus providing a first component having a circular opening with an interior chamfered edge and a second component positioned within the circular opening. The apparatus also provides a magnetic feature at a circular bottom surface of the first component, where the magnetic feature provides a magnetic pull force in a first direction to secure the second component within the circular opening. The second component is configured to break away from the circular opening when a contact force to the breakaway component causes a force in a second direction opposite of the first direction and greater than the magnetic pull force. |
