Abstract
A rearview device for a vehicle includes a moveable head assembly; a base assembly to be fixed to the vehicle; an actuator assembly; and a cradle configured to attach the actuator assembly to the moveable head assembly and/or the base assembly and a vehicle with such a rearview device. The cradle has at least one tool protrusion on each side that enables attachment to a tool and facilities rotation of the cradle during assembly of the rearview device.
Claims9
A rearview device for a vehicle, comprising:
- a moveable head assembly;
- a base assembly to be fixed to the vehicle;
- an actuator assembly;
- and
- a motor cradle configured to attach the actuator assembly to the base assembly via a pivot joint system, wherein the motor cradle comprises a base seat adapted to be put on the base assembly and to be attached by attaching a case frame to the base assembly, such that the pivot joint system acts between the base assembly and the case frame, and
- wherein
- the motor cradle comprises at least one tool protrusion,
- with at least one first tool protrusion on a first side and at least one second tool protrusion on a second side of the motor cradle, and
- with the at least one first and at least one second tool protrusions being adapted to be attached to a tool, in form of a jig, and
- with the at least one first tool protrusion located opposite of the at least one second tool protrusion defining a rotation axis such that the motor cradle can be rotated around the rotation axis when attached to the tool.
