Abstract
A torque limiter arrangement is used for a rotating device like a door mirror. The arrangement controls relative rotation between a fixed element and a rotational element which are drivingly connected by a drive unit. That is, a first clutch is released when a relative torque not less than a fixed first torque is effected between the fixed element and the rotational element. A second clutch is released when a relative torque not less than a fixed second torque is applied between the fixed element and the rotational element. A first spring is operatively connected with the first clutch to determine the first torque. A second spring is operatively connected with the second clutch to determine the second torque.
