Extendable mirror with improved detent |
摘要 |
A mirror assembly for use on an automotive vehicle comprises a support base for fixedly mounting the mirror assembly to the vehicle. The mirror assembly further includes an upper and lower support arm, each extending longitudinally between a first end and a second end. A collar having an upper chamber and a lower chamber is fixedly secured to the first ends of the support arms and pivotally coupled to the support base for pivoting the support arms about a generally vertical axis between an operative position extending laterally from the vehicle and a folded position pivoted adjacent and generally parallel to the vehicle. A housing is slidably coupled to the second ends of the support arms and slidable therealong between a retracted position adjacent the first ends and an extended position adjacent the second ends. A mirror pane is operatively coupled to the housing for providing an adjustable reflective view from the mirror assembly. The mirror assembly further includes a drive mechanism housed within the lower support arm and lower chamber of the collar and operatively coupled to the housing by a clutch mechanism for moving the housing between the retracted position and the extended position. The mirror assembly also includes a pivot mechanism housed within the upper chamber of the collar and operatively coupled to the support base for pivoting the support arm between the operative position and the folded position.
