A rearview device comprises a rearview assembly having a display surface and a housing configured to support the display surface; and a mount configured to connect to and support the housing. The mount may be slidably securable in a first direction to a mounting bracket and slidably detachable in a second direction from the mounting bracket. The mount may comprise at least one projecting ramp, the at least one projecting ramp configured to, upon the mount being slidably detached from the mounting bracket, change the orientation of the housing relative to the bracket to prevent the housing from impacting the mounting bracket.

Ramps for rearview assembly mounts

A sensor cover for a rearview assembly includes a body configured for secure engagement with the rearview assembly. At least one engagement feature extends rearward and is configured for removably coupling the body with a first housing having a first predefined configuration and a second housing having a second predefined configuration.

Customizable sensor aperture with common lens

The present invention relates to improved electro-optic rearview mirror elements and assemblies incorporating the same, including processes for making such elements and assemblies.

Vehicular rearview mirror elements and assemblies incorporating these elements

The present invention relates to improved electro-optic rearview mirror elements and assemblies incorporating the same.

A rearview device mounting assembly includes a bracket having a windshield engagement surface. The bracket further includes a neck with a ball. The ball has at least one of either a knurled patch or a striation and the ball is configured to engage a socket in the rearview device. The socket of the rearview device includes fingerlike projections and a ball engaging surface. The ball engaging surface has raised features to frictionally engage the ball and minimize or eliminate droop of the rearview device.

Rearview mounting device

The present invention relates to improved electro-optic rearview mirror elements and assemblies incorporating the same. Area of the effective field of view of the electro-optic mirror element substantially equals to that defined by the outermost perimeter of the element.

A rearview mirror assembly comprising a rear housing section with wiring connected to a first electrical connection device and a circuit board with a second electrical connection device, with first electrical connection device and the second electrical connection device being configured to automatically mate when the circuit board and the rear housing section are moved relatively towards each other. The rearview mirror assembly can also include a circuit board with a third electrical connection device and a reflective element with a fourth electrical connection device, with third electrical connection device and the fourth electrical connection device being configured to automatically mate when the circuit board and the reflective element are moved relatively towards each other.
