A wiper apparatus which removes foreign matters from a windshield by rotating by a pivot of a vehicle may include an arm piece connected to one end of an arm retainer to connect a wiper blade, and a coupling portion having a step portion formed to extend along a longitudinal direction so that an upper surface of the arm piece and an upper surface of the arm retainer form a same surface when coupled to correspond to a coupling hole formed in the arm retainer.

Wiper apparatus

An inside mirror assembly of a vehicle, the assembly having an improved structure capable of implementing reflective surfaces of a day mode and a night mode according to light reflectivity. The mirror assembly has a simplified mechanism for operating a tilting reflective plate by adopting two pivot shafts to it. The tilting reflective plate is prevented from vibrating, and play is prevented using the tensile force of a spring.

Inside mirror assembly of vehicle

A mirror actuator for a vehicle includes a housing and a cover disposed, when the mirror actuator is assembled, at an upper side of the housing. The cover has a cover rail formed therein. An adapter plate has a rotatable shaft which, when the mirror actuator is assembled, is seated on the cover rail and rotatable around a first axis of rotation. A pivot clip, when assembled to the cover, is rotatable around a second axis of rotation, surrounds the rotatable shaft, and affixes the adapter plate on the cover rail.

Mirror actuator for vehicle

A vehicle side and rear monitoring system with a fail-safe function and a method thereof are provided. The system provides a fail-safe function for safe driving of a vehicle when an abnormality occurs in a side monitoring system of the vehicle, and a technique that provides a continuous side field of view of the vehicle when an abnormality occurs in the side monitoring system in the vehicle equipped with an AVM system. In addition, the system and provides a technique that corrects the distortion of an image captured by an AVM camera and performs an image rotation transformation to provide the image captured by the AVM camera at the same angle as that provided by side-view cameras. Therefore, when an abnormality occurs in the side monitoring system, the vehicle side and rear monitoring system with a fail-safe function continuously provides the same image as captured by the side-view cameras.

Vehicle side and rear monitoring system with fail-safe function and method thereof

A smart window, and production method therefor, uses glass beads made from glass material instead of a polymer matrix of the conventional smart window. This makes the liquid crystal's size, shape and arrangement constant by placing the liquid crystal outside the glass beads, thereby securing high stability and chemical resistance, avoiding haze, having low operating voltage, and having improved optical, for example, broad variable range of light transmittance between OFF (light impermeable) and ON (light permeable) states.

Smart window using glass beads and liquid crystal, and production method therefor

A smart glass uses a guided self-assembled photonic crystal, including a photonic crystal layer that is interposed between a pair of conductive glass plates. The smart glass includes a first material and a second material having a different refractive index from the first material and surrounding the first material. Thereby, the smart glass has a color, even when a dye is not included, by strongly reflecting light in a specific wavelength range incident to the photonic crystal layer. This is because the first material is formed regularly to have a constant distance by guided self-assembly, and the smart glass thereby may obtain a target color by randomly adjusting the distance between the first materials.

A wiper apparatus having an integrally formed washer nozzle may include a retainer connected to a driving motor to be rotated, a wiper blade having a center spoiler and side spoilers, a washer module coupled to an upper surface of the center spoiler, a rubber coupled to a lower surface of the wiper blade, and a connector for detachably fastening the wiper blade and the retainer, wherein the connector may be inserted into a connector hole formed on an upper surface of the washer module and may be coupled into recesses of the center spoiler using bosses formed at an inner side thereof, and the retainer may be inserted into opposite insertion holes of the connector through a tip end thereof to be laid on an upper surface of the connector and to be caught by opposite hook coupling parts of the connector through hooks at lower portions thereof.

Wiper apparatus having integrally formed washer nozzle

A wiper blade with integral washer nozzles including a blade rubber for wiping a glass of a vehicle, a spoiler combined with a retainer of a wiper arm, secondary levers combined with the spoiler, and yokes combined with the secondary levers, respectively, and supporting the blade rubber, may have a washer nozzle module integrally combined with the spoiler and spraying washer fluid supplied through washer fluid hoses in two directions with respect to the spoiler, wherein the washer nozzle module has washer fluid channels formed therein in a longitudinal direction of the spoiler to spray the washer fluid in two directions, nozzles formed along the washer fluid channels and spraying the washer fluid supplied through the washer fluid channels, and inlets communicating with the washer fluid channels, respectively, and connected with the washer fluid hoses for supplying the washer fluid.

Washer nozzle integrated wiper blade

A rear-view mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a housing having an opening and a fixed reflector mounted to edges of the opening. A tilting reflector is disposed in the housing in parallel to the fixed reflector or inclined so that an upper end of the tilting reflector tilts rearward at an angle around a lower end of the tilting reflector to decrease light reflectance. A tilting plate has a front surface thereof attached to the tilting reflector and a lower end thereof mounted to a bottom surface of the housing. A tilting link is mounted between the tilting plate and the housing. A cam is mounted to the bottom surface of the housing to rotate the tilting link and comprises a link protrusion formed at a lower end of the tilting link and a tilting operating lever attached to a lower end of the cam.

Rear-view mirror assembly for vehicle

An integrated sensor apparatus of a vehicle is provided that includes a light emitter that is configured to emit a light having an area of a predetermined range or greater to a first region of a windshield. A light receiver is configured to receive the light emitted by the light emitter and reflected from the first region of the windshield and an external light incident from the exterior to the windshield. Further, a light guider is configured to be attached to the windshield to guide the light emitted by the light emitter to be reflected from the first region of the windshield and arrive at the light receiver. An image sensor is configured to sense a plurality of image patterns from the light reflected by the first region of the windshield and the external light incident into the windshield from the exterior.

Integrated sensor apparatus of vehicle

A spray washer nozzle for a vehicle may include a nozzle body installed in a hood of a vehicle as a unit for ejecting washer liquid to a windshield, and connected to a hose for supplying the washer liquid and fixedly installed in a hood panel at the same time, and a spray nozzle chip having a passage therein and inserted into a head part of the nozzle body, in which a heat emitter is inserted into and mounted to the passage formed in the interior of the spray nozzle chip such that washer liquid flowing through the passage of the spray nozzle chip is heated while directly contacting the heat emitter.

Spray washer nozzle for vehicle

An inside mirror assembly for a vehicle may include a housing which has an opening portion formed at a front side thereof, a fixed reflective plate which is fixed and mounted to the opening portion of the housing, a tilting reflective plate which is tiltably mounted in the housing, and disposed parallel to a rear surface of the fixed reflective plate in a day reflective mode, or disposed so that an upper end portion of the tilting reflective plate is tiltable rearward at a predetermined angle on a basis of a lower end portion of the tilting reflective plate in order to reduce light reflectivity in a night reflective mode, and a tilting operation mechanism which is connected with the tilting reflective plate, mounted inside and outside of the housing, and adjusts a tilting angle of the tilting reflective plate.
