Covered Vanity Mirror Hinge Assembly
US Patent:
5560704, Oct 1, 1996
Filed:
Feb 22, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/392105
Inventors:
David L. Hiemstra - Byron Center MI
Paul T. Vander Kuyl - Holland MI
Paul T. Vander Kuyl - Holland MI
Assignee:
Prince Corporation - Holland MI
International Classification:
F21V 3300
US Classification:
362143
Abstract:
A vanity mirror assembly includes a flexible circuit which extends between a movable cover and a vanity mirror frame and provides circuit capabilities for mounting lamps on either the cover or vanity mirror frame. Other circuit elements such as control switches, dimming controls, and the like can be mounted on the opposite side of the vanity mirror package so that a relatively thin visor with spaced-apart circuit elements can be provided. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the circuit comprises a flexible insulative substrate which comprise first and second circuit panels integrally interconnected by a bridge. Conductive elements are screen printed on the first and second circuit panels and on the bridge which extends across the pivot connection of the cover to the mirror frame while coupling the first and second circuit panels.

Light Control Circuit For Vanity Mirror Assembly And Method Of Manufacturing
US Patent:
5329430, Jul 12, 1994
Filed:
May 5, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/879207
Inventors:
Michael L. Lanser - Holland MI
Paul T. Vander Kuyl - Holland MI
Paul T. Vander Kuyl - Holland MI
Assignee:
Prince Corporation - Holland MI
International Classification:
B60R 112
US Classification:
362 831
Abstract:
A dimming control circuit for use in an illuminated vanity mirror includes a surface formed variable resistor on a conductive circuit substrate and wiper contacts engaging the resistor. One of the resistor and wiper contacts is movably mounted to a mirror frame with the other of the resistor and wiper contacts being stationary such that the resistance can be varied to control the light intensity.
Shatter Resistant Mirror
US Patent:
5283696, Feb 1, 1994
Filed:
Nov 7, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/788935
Inventors:
Michael L. Lanser - Holland MI
Paul T. Vander Kuyl - Holland MI
Paul T. Vander Kuyl - Holland MI
Assignee:
Prince Corporation - Holland MI
International Classification:
G02B 508, G02B 7182
US Classification:
359870
Abstract:
A shatter resistant mirror includes a frangible mirror material for reflecting an image which has a coating of an elastic adhesive material which bonds a rigid backing material to the frangible mirror body. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the adhesive was one of a water-based synthetic polymeric material or a hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive. The rigid support member preferably is a fiberboard material. In some embodiments of the invention, the composite mirror structure includes multiple layers of composite fiberboard material to provide spacing for mounting the mirror in a particular application.

International Classification:
H01H 3/00
US Classification:
200339, 200252
Abstract:
A light assembly for interiors of motor vehicles and the like includes a three-way sliding switch having a switch member that is movable to at least three positions corresponding to operating states of the switch. The switch includes an electrically conductive movable contact member that selectively engages conductive members to provide the different electrical states of the switch. The movable contact member also engages a detent structure and forms a three-position detent tending to retain the switch member in the selected position. Thus, the electrically conductive material of the movable contact member provides an electrical function and a mechanical detent function to thereby reduce the complexity and associated cost of the switch.
