Vision adjustment mechanism for mirror unit with pivotable parts
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11828315B2) discloses a vision adjustment mechanism designed to enhance adjustability and functionality. The mechanism consists of a base part and a mirror holder part that can pivot relative to each other. The base part features a trough where a head part can be inserted, creating a clamping gap fixable by a fixing means. The mirror holder part includes a clamping part that fits into the clamping gap, allowing for pivotable attachment. The fixing means biases the head part towards the base part and prevents rotation of the mirror holder part, ensuring stability during adjustments.
Moreover, the patent details additional features such as frictional engagement of the clamping part, insertion guide for precise positioning, and complementary geometric shapes for enhanced functionality. The mechanism's design allows for smooth and secure adjustment of the mirror unit, making it suitable for automotive vehicles. By incorporating innovative elements like tension spring means and snap-engagement features, the mechanism offers a versatile solution for vision adjustment in various settings, ensuring ease of use and reliability for users.
