HINGE ACTUATOR, IN PARTICULAR FOR A WING MIRROR UNIT

摘要

A hinge actuator comprising a first part which is pivotal y connected with a second part, and an electric drive for pivoting the parts relative to each other, wherein the first and the second part are provided with stops cooperating in a first pivoting direction for defining a predetermined position of the actuator parts relative to each other, and wherein further a coupling is provided between the first and the second part, so that in a first position of the coupling the first part and the second part are connected via the electric drive and, driven by means of the drive, can be pivoted relative to each other, and a second position in which the first part and the second part are not connected via the drive and can be pivoted relative to each other manually, wherein the first and the second hinge part are furthermore provided with auxiliary stops for defining the predetermined position in a second, opposite pivoting direction, the auxiliary stops being adjustable relative to each other by means of the drive from a first position in which they block driven pivoting movement of the hinge parts in the second direction, to a second position in which they clear driven pivoting movement of the hinge parts in the second direction.
