9. A carrier plate for a reflective element of a vehicle mirror, the carrier plate comprising:
-
a planar plate portion having a first side and a second side opposite the first side; wherein the first side of the plate portion is configured to attach at a reflective element; wherein the carrier plate comprises an annular structure protruding from the second side of the plate portion and configured for attaching the carrier plate to an electrically powered mirror glass adjuster; wherein a pair of slots are established through the plate portion, and wherein the slots intersect at a center aperture of the plate portion and extend radially outward from the center aperture toward the annular structure, and wherein the slots establish quadrants of the plate portion inboard of the annular structure; wherein a plurality of arcuate apertures are established inboard of and along the annular structure and between the center aperture and the annular structure, and wherein each of the arcuate apertures is disposed at a respective quadrant of the plate portion; and wherein a pair of radial slots extend from each of the arcuate apertures toward the center aperture. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
