Embodiment Construction

[0027] figure 1 A schematic side view of the adjusting device 1 according to the invention is shown. The adjusting device 1 is configured for carrying an exterior mirror unit of a vehicle, such as a passenger car or a truck. To this end, the adjusting device 1 comprises a support unit 2 and a housing unit 3 . The housing unit 3 is pivotable about the axis of rotation A in the circumferential direction P between a plurality of positions relative to the fixed support unit 2 . Thus, the housing unit can have, for example, a parking position, a driving position and a folded-down position. In the parking position, the exterior mirror units are oriented approximately along the vehicle, with the mirror side facing the vehicle. In the driving position, the exterior mirror units are oriented substantially transversely to the vehicle. And in the folded position, the exterior mirror unit is oriented generally along the vehicle, with the mirror side facing away from the vehicle.

Abstract

The invention relates to an adjustment device for an exterior rearview mirror unit of a vehicle, the adjustment device comprising a support unit and a housing unit pivotable between a plurality of positions relative to the support unit in the circumferential direction. Furthermore, the adjusting device comprises a breakable rotation-locked coupling unit for coupling the housing unit to the support unit. The coupling unit comprises a number N of parallel-arranged coupling pieces, wherein each coupling piece has two mutually opposite coupling surfaces which are pressed against each other under spring action and are mutually displaceable in the circumferential direction. The coupling surfaces have a periodic cam pattern that engages each other, where the two coupling surfaces are destructively rotationally locked to each other, and where only a limited number M of couplings, where M is less than N, engage at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an adjustment device for an exterior mirror unit of a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Adjusting devices for exterior mirror units are well known and are often used in vehicles such as automobiles. Adjusting devices of this type generally comprise a housing which is pivotally adjustable between a parking position, a driving position and a folded-down position. In the parking position, the exterior mirror units are oriented approximately along the vehicle, with the mirror side facing the vehicle. In the driving position, the exterior mirror units are oriented substantially transversely to the vehicle. And in the folded position, the exterior mirror unit is oriented generally along the vehicle, with the mirror side facing away from the vehicle. In the event of an impact such as a collision, the exterior mirror units move towards the folded position. [0003] The adjustment of the exterior mirror unit from the parking po...
