Abstract
An adjustable mirror system, including a flexible mirror configured to change curvature, a shaft coupled to the mirror, a cylinder, wherein the cylinder is configured to receive the shaft and a fluid, and an actuator coupled to the housing, wherein the actuator increases and decreases the pressure of the fluid in the cylinder to drive the shaft and change the curvature of the flexible mirror.
Claims17
An adjustable vehicle mirror system, comprising:
- a housing;
- a flexible mirror configured to transition between a concave position, a convex position, and a flat position, wherein an outer edge of the flexible mirror directly couples to the housing;
- a shaft coupled to the flexible mirror;
- a cylinder, wherein the cylinder is configured to receive the shaft and a fluid;
- and
- a single actuator coupled to the housing, wherein the actuator increases and decreases the pressure of the fluid in the cylinder to drive the shaft and transition the flexible mirror between the concave position, the convex position, and the flat position.
