Title:
REMOTE CONTROLLER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS6144044
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Remote control means for adjusting the orientation of a controlled member, e.g. a vehicle rearview mirror (10), comprises a pivot bearing (32) for supporting the controlled member (10) on a base member (34), means for applying a frictional force to the pivot bearing (32) so as to resist pivotal movement of the controlled member. At least two springs (20, 22) formed of a shape memory alloy, connect the controlled member (10) to the base member (34) on opposite sides of the pivot bearing (32), each spring (20, 22) being so constructed so as to exert sufficient force to overcome the friction of the pivot bearing (32) when the alloy is in its resilient phase but insufficient force to overcome said friction when the alloy is in its non-resilient phase. The springs (20, 22) are heated electrically in order to cause them to change phase.
