Patent ID: 7159992

Claim:
A vehicle mirror assembly comprising: a fixed support adapted to be mounted on a vehicle, a swingable structure pivotally supported about an axis by said fixed support and extending therefrom to a distal end; a mirror housing supported at said distal end of said swingable structure; a first electrically powered mechanism for pivoting said swingable structure between an operative position and a folded position extending generally transverse to said operative position; a second electrically powered mechanism operatively interconnecting said swingable structure and said mirror housing for moving said mirror housing relative to said fixed support; and a clutch disposed between at least one of the first electrically powered mechanism and the second electrically powered mechanism and the swingable structure; wherein said first electrically powered mechanism and said second electrically-powered mechanism are both included in said fixed support, and wherein actuation of said first electrically powered mechanism moves said swingable structure from a first pivotal position to a second pivotal position, and actuation of the second electrically powered mechanism moves said swingable structure between a first extended position and a second extended position relative to the fixed support.
