Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
A motor-powered adjustable rear view mirror for motor vehicles, particularly lorries, comprising a housing (1,1',1") accommodating and supporting a mirror glass (3,3') and comprising a fixing device (7,7',7") adapted to be rigidly connected to a motor vehicle and having a base plate which is stationary in relation to the fixing device (7,7',7") and with, disposed between the base plate (39,39'62) and the housing (1,1',1"), a servo-motor arrangement comprising at least one positioning drive (28,29) with positioning elements by means of which the housing (1,1',1") can be adjusted/pivoted about at least one pivot axis (47,48), whereby at least one positioning drive (28,29) is stationary in relation to the housing (1,1',1") and is coupled to the base plate (39,39',62) via a slider-crank mechanism (34), and whereby the latter comprises a crank (35) coupled to the base plate (39,39',62) via a sliding mounting (42,43), characterised in that there is articulated on the crank (35) by means of a crank joint (36) a push rod (37) which is displaceably guided in a bearing sleeve (41) which is connected to the base plate (39,39').
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
29 words
A rear view mirror according to Claim 1, characterised in that the slider-crank mechanism (34) is in itself pivotable about a longitudinal axis (44) of the sliding bearing (42,43).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A rear view mirror according to Claim 1, characterised in that the housing (1,1',1") is pivotable about a central point (22) about a universal joint (14,14',14") which is connected to the fixing device (7,7',7").
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A rear view mirror according to Claim 3, characterised in that the pivoting axis (47,48) associated with each positioning drive (28,29) passes through the central point (22) of the universal joint (14,14'14").
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A rear view mirror according to Claim 1, characterised in that each positioning drive (28,29) is mounted directly on the housing (1,1',1").
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
17 words
A rear view mirror according to Claim 1, characterised in that two positioning drives (28,29) are provided.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A rear view mirror according to Claim 6, characterised in that both positioning drives are in each case connected to the base plate (39,39',62) via a slider-crank mechanism (34,67,75).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
A rear view mirror according to Claim 6, characterised in that the positioning drive (29) is coupled to the base plate (62) via a slider-crank mechanism (34) and in that the other positioning drive (28) is coupled to the base plate (62) via a geared transmission (66).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
44 words
A rear view mirror according to Claim 3, characterised in that constructed on the housing (1,1',1") is a shell-like bearing member (18,18',18") which has a spherical bearing surface (19,19',19") by which it is pressed against a bearing shell (16,16',16") of the universal joint (14,14',14").
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
30 words
A rear view mirror according to Claim 9, characterised in that the bearing member (18,18',18") is pressed by an initially tensioned thrust spring (23,23',23") resiliently against the bearing shell (16,16',16").
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
34 words
A rear view mirror according to Claim 9, characterised in that the bearing member (18,18',18") with two spherical bearing surfaces (19,19',19",20,20',20") is disposed between the bearing shell (16,16',16") and a spherical bearing cover (21,21',21").
