Motor-driven pivoting device for a support plate, especially the support plate of a motor vehicle mirror
First Claim
1. Motor-driven pivoting device (11) for a plate (12-13) featuring an outward bulge of hollow spherical shape that has the ability to pivot relative to a holder, which is fixed to the object, in the form of an assembly cap (15), and inside of which is arranged a device carrier (14) with a positioning motor (33) by way of which, via its set of gears (31) and a toothing (30), arranged on the plate (12-13), that engages with the inside space of the device carrier (14) and that can move the plate in relation to the assembly cap (15) along concentrically arranged spherical jacket surfaces touching each other wherein the plate is a support plate (12) featuring an outward bulge in the shape of a hollow spherical area (13) that—
- along its jacket areas that are directed toward each other—
is held in place with the ability to pivot between two hollow spherical areas, which are rigidly connected to each other, and of which the assembly cap (15) constitutes part of the outer area, while inside, at a radial distance, the device carrier (14) as the inside hollow spherical area is concentrically connected to the assembly cap (15), and the set of gears (31) on the inside of the device carrier (14) is engaged with a toothing (30) that is supported via a peg (35) on the support plate (12) and extends from the hollow spherical area (13) into the device carrier.

Abstract
The invention relates to a motor-driven pivoting device for a support plate that can cooperate with a positioning motor and be pivoted kinematically in relation to a holder, which is fixed to the object. In order to receive a mirror, the plate is provided with a fixed hollow spherical area on its rear side, which is directed away from the mirror, for stable mounting with a compact inbuilt part-turn actuator, mounted with the ability to pivot between two rigidly interconnected spherical surfaces along the generated surfaces thereof. The outer of the two interlocking spherical surfaces of the dual shell holder is embodied in the form of an assembly cap. Its inner surface is fitted out as a carrier for a device with a motor and a set of gears engaging with the gearing that moves radially to engage with the inner area of the device carrier along a generatrix of the inner generated surface of the hollow area.
