ACTUATOR MECHANISM FOR AN ADJUSTMENT DEVICE OF A WING MIRROR AND CLUTCH ASSEMBLY THEREOF

摘要

A clutch assembly is connected between a gear set connected to a driving motor of an actuator mechanism of a wing mirror and a ring gear connected to an adapter, and includes a clutch gear meshing with an extremity of the gear set, a pinion gear, and left-handed and right-handed clutch springs. The clutch gear defines a groove in an inner circumference. The pinion gear includes a gear portion meshing with the ring gear, and a clutch holding surface integrally formed with the gear portion. The left-handed and right-handed clutch springs are fitted about the clutch holding surface and are coiled on the clutch holding surface in two opposite directions. Each of the left-handed and right-handed clutch springs includes a protrusion engaged in the groove.
