TRUCK MIRROR POSITIONING DEVICE

摘要

A truck mirror positioning device for adjusting the position of a rear-view truck mirror includes a mounting bracket adapted to be attached to a truck external to the truck driver's cabin. A pivotal support means is provided mechanically coupled to the mounting bracket for substantially supporting the weight of the truck mirror. An electric motor is mounted on the mounting bracket for moving the mirror, and a gearbox is mechanically coupled to the motor and adapted to be mechanically coupled to the truck mirror so as to adjust the plane in which the mirror lies wherein, in use, an operator can adjust the angle of the mirror by activating the electric motor.

1. A truck mirror positioning device for adjusting the position of a rear-view truck mirror, the device comprising:
a mounting bracket adapted to be attached to a truck external to the truck driver's cabin; a pivotal support means mechanically coupled to the mounting bracket for substantially supporting the weight of the truck mirror, the pivotal support means comprising a lower pivot hinge connection adapted to pivotally connect a lower portion of the mirror to a lower pivot support bracket, wherein the mirror can tilt about the lower pivot hinge connection in a first direction about a substantially horizontal axis; a pair of electric motors mounted on the mounting bracket for moving the mirror; and, a gearbox mechanically coupled to the motors and adapted to be mechanically coupled to the truck mirror so as to adjust the plane in which the mirror lies in first and second substantially orthogonal directions wherein, in use, an operator can adjust the angle of the mirror by activating the electric motors.
