Shape Memory Alloy Rearview Mirror

View page
US Patent:
6364496, Apr 2, 2002
Filed:
Apr 23, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/830125
Inventors:
Ian Boddy - Ada MI
Keith D. Foote - Kentwood MI
James A. Ruse - Allegan MI
Assignee:
Magna Mirror Systems, Inc. - Alto MI
International Classification:
G02B 7182
US Classification:
359877, 359876, 248476, 248483
Abstract:
A rearview mirror assembly having a pivot structure and first and second pairs of helical structures consisting of shape memory alloy wires which serve to adjust the position of the mirror. The wires may be individually heated by conducting an electrical current to effect the contracted memory position. When the current is switched off, a wire cools and can easily be stretched to mechanically transform the wire to a martensitic phase.

Powered Screw Drive Extendable And Pivotal Rearview Mirror Assembly

US Patent:
6394616, May 28, 2002
Filed:
Apr 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/829301
Inventors:
Keith D. Foote - Kentwood MI
Ian Boddy - Ada MI
Kenneth C. Peterson - Comstock Park MI
Assignee:
Magna Mirror Systems, Inc. - Kentwood MI
International Classification:
G02B 508
US Classification:
359841, 359877, 359881, 248480, 248900
Abstract:
A mirror assembly for use on an automotive vehicle comprises a support base for mounting the mirror assembly to the vehicle. A support arm extends longitudinally between a proximal end pivotally coupled to the support base and an opposite distal end. The mirror assembly further includes a housing coupled to the support arm and slidable between a retracted position adjacent to the proximal end and an extended position adjacent to the distal end and spaced from the proximal end. A glass mirror pane is operatively coupled to the housing for providing a reflective view from the mirror assembly. The mirror assembly also includes a drive mechanism coupled between the support arm and the housing for providing both power actuated and manual sliding movement of the housing along the support arm between the retracted position and the extended position. The drive mechanism includes a drive screw rotated by a motor for engaging and driving a drive nut coupled to the housing along the longitudinal length of the drive screw. A clutch mechanism allows the drive nut to freely rotate about the drive screw to manually adjust the position of the housing along the support arm.

Extendable Mirror With Improved Detent

US Patent:
6439730, Aug 27, 2002
Filed:
Apr 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/829358
Inventors:
Keith D. Foote - Kentwood MI
Ian Boddy - Ada MI
Benjamin D. Newton - Saranac MI
Assignee:
Magna Mirror Systems, Inc. - Kentwood MI
International Classification:
G02B 7182
US Classification:
359877, 359878, 359871, 359872
Abstract:
A mirror assembly for use on an automotive vehicle comprises a support base for fixedly mounting the mirror assembly to the vehicle. The mirror assembly further includes an upper and lower support arm, each extending longitudinally between a first end and a second end. A collar having an upper chamber and a lower chamber is fixedly secured to the first ends of the support arms and pivotally coupled to the support base for pivoting the support arms about a generally vertical axis between an operative position extending laterally from the vehicle and a folded position pivoted adjacent and generally parallel to the vehicle. A housing is slidably coupled to the second ends of the support arms and slidable therealong between a retracted position adjacent the first ends and an extended position adjacent the second ends. A mirror pane is operatively coupled to the housing for providing an adjustable reflective view from the mirror assembly. The mirror assembly further includes a drive mechanism housed within the lower support arm and lower chamber of the collar and operatively coupled to the housing by a clutch mechanism for moving the housing between the retracted position and the extended position.

Extendable Mirror

View page
US Patent:
6497491, Dec 24, 2002
Filed:
Aug 3, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/922443
Inventors:
Ian Boddy - Ada MI
Kenneth Peterson - Comstock Park MI
Assignee:
Magna Mirror Systems Inc. - Alto MI
International Classification:
G02B 508
US Classification:
359841, 359842, 359843, 359838
Abstract:
An exterior rearview mirror assembly for use on an automotive vehicle comprises a base member having a mounting plate for fixedly securing the mirror assembly to the side of the vehicle and a base plate extending outwardly therefrom. An elongated support arm has a first end pivotally coupled to the base plate and an opposite second end supporting a concave mirror housing. The mirror housing includes a peripheral rim defining an opening for receiving a reflective glass mirror pane. The mirror pane includes a directional indicator for providing directional signaling of the intended vehicle path. The mirror assembly further includes a puddle lamp for illuminating areas adjacent to the vehicle for entry and exit and for signaling rearward of the vehicle. Finally, the mirror assembly includes a display panel operatively connected to the vehicle for displaying information indicative of the vehicles operating conditions.

Vehicle Mirror Assembly

US Patent:
6598983, Jul 29, 2003
Filed:
Oct 27, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/179315
Inventors:
Ian Boddy - Ada MI
Assignee:
Magna Mirror Systems Inc. - Alto MI
International Classification:
G02B 508
US Classification:
359841, 359872, 359881, 248477, 248480
Abstract:
A rearview mirror assembly includes a support structure fixedly mounted to the exterior side of the motor vehicle. A mounting structure comprising a generally U-shaped member having a bight portion and a pair of leg portions defining spaced apart and parallel tubular members is mounted to the support structure for angular movement about a generally vertically extending axis with respect to the vehicle. A mirror housing is slidably mounted to the mounting structure and includes a pair of openings for slidably receiving the tubular members therein. A mirror is mounted to the mirror housing. A clamp is secured to the mirror housing and has a removable clamp-associated insert providing a mounting structure engaging surface for engaging the mounting structure in tightly fit relation so that the mirror housing can be manually repositioned in a lateral direction towards or away from the vehicle through an infinite range of positions.

Extending And Rotating Rearview Mirror Assembly

US Patent:
6672726, Jan 6, 2004
Filed:
Dec 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/019581
Inventors:
Ian Boddy - Ada MI, 49301

International Classification:
G02B 508
US Classification:
359841, 359842, 359843, 359872
Abstract:
An extending and rotating rearview mirror assembly for use on an automotive vehicle includes a base member ( ) for mounting the mirror assembly to the vehicle. An elongated support arm ( ) is pivotally mounted to the base member for pivoting the mirror assembly between an operative position and a folded position. The support arm supports a mirror housing ( ) having a glass mirror pane ( ) therein for providing a rearward reflective view from the vehicle. A coupling assembly ( ) interconnects the mirror housing and support arm for sliding mirror housing in a generally horizontal direction with respect to the base member and for rotating the mirror housing with respect to the base member.

Filed:
May 2, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/830999
Inventors:
Keith D. Foote - Kentwood MI
Ian Boddy - Ada MI
Assignee:
Magna Mirror Systems Inc. - Alto MI
International Classification:
G02B 7182
US Classification:
359877, 359876, 359871, 359872, 359838
Abstract:
A first power mechanism is provided in association with a fixed support and with a swingable structure, and pivots the swingable structure relative to the fixed support between an extended position and a folded position adjacent the vehicle. A second power mechanism is operatively associated with a swingable structure and a mirror housing to move the mirror housing between inner and outer extended positions. A third mechanism moves the mirror unit into desired adjusted position about horizontal and vertical axes. An electronic control controls the operation of the first power mechanism, the second power mechanism and third power mechanism to control the powered pivoting of swingable structure.
