Device for the simultaneous control of the driving-mirrors of an automobile vehicle
First Claim
1. A device comprising at least one outside driving-mirror and an inside driving-mirror of an automobile vehicle, said inside driving-mirror comprising means defining two surfaces having different reflecting powers, at least the surface having the maximum reflecting power being capable of being put into two distinct angular positions, a manual control means for shifting the surface having maximum reflecting power between said two angular positions, said outside driving-mirror comprising means defining two surfaces having different reflecting powers, at least the surface having the maximum reflecting power of the outside driving-mirror being capable of being put into two distinct angular positions, electromagnetic shifting means connected to the surface having maximum reflecting power of the outside driving-mirror for shifting it between said two angular positions thereof, a circuit for connection to a source of current and connected to the electromagnetic shifting means for supplying current to the electromagnetic shifting means and switching means inserted in said circuit and associated with said manual control means for actuating said electromagnetic shifting means in either of two directions simultaneously with actuation of said manual control means in either of two directions.

Abstract
A device for controlling simultaneously at least one outside driving-mirror and an inside driving mirror of a vehicle. The inside and outside driving-mirrors each comprise two surfaces having different reflecting powers. At least the surface having the maximum reflecting power being capable of being put into two distinct angular positions. A manual control puts the surface of maximum reflecting power of the inside driving-mirror into either of its angular positions. An electromagnet associated with the surface having maximum reflecting power of the outside driving-mirror puts this surface in either of its two angular positions. The electromagnet is inserted in a circuit controlled by the movements of the manual control so that the two surfaces having maximum reflecting power are put into identical positions simultaneously.
