ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns an external mirror for vehicles, having a mirror casing, in which a mirror glass is held so as to be adjustable, the mirror casing being held stationary, in the operating position, on a mirror base. In the event of a collision, the mirror casing can pivot away, either to the front or to the rear, about two approximately vertical axes located one behind the other in the direction of travel. In the case of a rigid streamlined fairing for both the mirror casing and the mirror base, there are certain problems in pivoting the fairing parts forward so as to avoid contact. To deal with this, the invention proposes a guide part which is rigidly located relative to the mirror casing and which interacts with a guide track in the mirror base. The guide track is so designed that when the mirror casing executes a pivoting motion in the forward direction, the mirror casing first lifts off from the mirror base. After a certain lifting motion, the guide track is concentric to the current position of the front hinge pin so that further pivoting takes place in a raised position of the mirror casing in which the two fairing parts can pivot past one another without contact and over a large pivoting range.
