ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a servo-controlled adjustable outside rear view mirror for vehicles, having a stationary mirror housing and a mirror shell which carries the reflector and is able to move therein. In the mirror housing there is provided an interchangeable drive unit for the vertical and horizontal adjustment of the reflector, said drive unit being affixed to the back of the mirror housing or of the mirror shell. The invention aims at providing a broad vibrationless bearing surface for the mirror shell. Furthermore, by means of a simple control switch the mirror shall be adjustable in the same manner about a geometrically defined horizontal and vertical axis. The invention also aims at providing a wedge-shaped convergent, aerodynamic mirror housing. For this purpose, the drive unit is coupled by means of a movable plate to the rear of the mirror shell which can turn on a vertical axis, but the swivel connection has torsional strength about the horizontal axis. At the same time, the swivel connection allows for length adjustment between the plate and the mirror shell. The intermediate plate and the mirror shell are separately suspended on gimbals at independent bearing points located on the horizontal swivel axis of the mirror shell. The drive unit is pushed as far as possible to the vehicle-side housing edge, and the bearing point of the mirror shell as close as possible to the external housing edge of the mirror housing.
