Lighted/Information Case Assembly For Rearview Mirrors

View page
US Patent:
47333367, Mar 22, 1988
Filed:
Jun 26, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/879158
Inventors:
Brian I. Skogler - Spring Lake MI
Kenneth Schofield - Holland MI
William P. Lantz - Holland MI
Eldon J. Nyhof - Zeeland MI
Dorothy J. Helder - Holland MI
Charles M. Flowerday - Holland MI
Assignee:
Donnelly Corporation - Holland MI
International Classification:
B60Q 100
US Classification:
362142
Abstract:
A case assembly for vehicular rearview mirrors adapted to support lights for illuminating portions of the vehicle interior, instruments such as directional compasses or the like, and controls such as switches or instrument adjustment units. The case includes one, and preferably two, spaced, removable carrier modules fitted generally flush with the bottom of the mirror case. The carrier modules may include varying combinations of light assemblies for map reading, courtesy or console illumination, switches, and controls for compasses, clocks, electronic or other instruments. A preferred light arrangement provides illumination of areas below and outwardly of the case ends with brighter, targeted lighting areas in the lap areas of persons seated in the front seats of the vehicle.

Vehicular Mirror And Light Assembly

View page
US Patent:
46462104, Feb 24, 1987
Filed:
Jun 20, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/622678
Inventors:
Brian I. Skogler - Holland MI
Eldon J. Nyhof - Zeeland MI
William L. Katsma - Caledonia MI
Assignee:
Donnelly Corporation - Holland MI
International Classification:
B60Q 100
US Classification:
362142
Abstract:
A vehicular rearview mirror and light assembly which provides map and/or courtesy lighting for the vehicle interior. One or more separate housings are removably secured to the back of the mirror case and support one or more light assemblies within the space interior of the mirror case through one or more openings in back. Each assembly may include one or more light sources. A reflector/heat sink and/or a light directing lens are optionally included. Preferably, when mounted in a typical rearview mirror position adjacent a windshield, light is directed downwardly and laterally outwardly of either end of the assembly, toward the driver and front seat passenger and laterally inwardly toward the center or console area between the driver and passenger. Lighting of the instrument panel and glare in the driver's eyes are avoided or minimized.

Vibration Stabilized Rearview Mirror For Vehicles

View page
US Patent:
58186506, Oct 6, 1998
Filed:
Jul 26, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/687720
Inventors:
Eldon J. Nyhof - Zeeland MI
Desmond J. O'Farrell - Holland MI
Assignee:
Donnelly Corporation - Holland MI
International Classification:
G02B 7182
A47G 124
F16M 1300
US Classification:
359876
Abstract:
A vibration-stabilized rearview mirror assembly for vehicles includes a reflective mirror element pivotally mounted in a mirror housing with at least one vibration stabilizer slidably mounted on and biased outwardly beyond the perimeter edge of the mirror element to engage the inside of the housing and to dampen and reduce vibration of the mirror element. Preferably, two stabilizers are slidably mounted parallel to the mirror element at spaced locations and are engaged by a single spring which equalizes the spring force on both stabilizers. Stop surfaces limit extension of the stabilizers.

Light Reflectivity And Transmission Testing Apparatus And Method

View page
US Patent:
41205820, Oct 17, 1978
Filed:
Oct 27, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/736251
Inventors:
Martin De Vries - Holland MI
Harold A. Fitzgerald - Holland MI
Eldon J. Nyhof - Zeeland MI
James D. VAN Putten - Holland MI
Assignee:
Donnelly Mirrors, Inc. - Holland MI
International Classification:
G01N 2148
G01N 2122
G01J 104
US Classification:
356 73
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for testing an optical element sample such as a mirror simultaneously and substantially instantaneously both for the total amount of light reflected from and the total amount of light transmitted by a predetermined area of that sample. The apparatus includes a pair of axially aligned light-integrating spheres between which is clamped the test sample so that no light enters or escapes from either sphere. A preferably optically regulated, substantially collimated beam of light is directed through one sphere against the test sample at an angle to the sphere axis. Silicon photo-voltaic light sensitive detectors connected to amplified readout units indicate the total light reflectivity in one sphere and the total light transmission to the other sphere. The method includes directing a light beam against a test sample area at an angle other than normal to the surface of said sample area, simultaneously detecting the total amounts of reflected and transmitted light for the test sample area with light-integrating means, and indicating the detected total amounts of reflected and transmitted light.

Interior Light/Carrier Module For Vehicles

View page
US Patent:
48070963, Feb 21, 1989
Filed:
Dec 11, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/132004

Charles M. Flowerday - Holland MI
Assignee:
Donnelly Corporation - Holland MI
International Classification:
F21F 3300
US Classification:
362142
Abstract:
A carrier module is disclosed for supporting lights for illuminating portions of a vehicle interior, instruments such as directional compasses or the like, and controls such as switches or instrument adjustment units. The carrier modules may be mounted in housings on the vehicle interior. Each module preferably includes a rigid body or support and a pair of spaced mounting projections thereon for removably mounting the carrier module in a housing or other support. One of the mounting projections is resilient. An opening is provided in the body adjacent the resilient projection to allow insertion of a tool for releasing the module from the housing or support.
