ABSTRACT:
The mirror head of an outside rear view mirror is constituted by a mirror assembly mounted as a unit inside a housing having an upright front opening bounded by housing wall portions which converge in backward direction and, laterally, include a lower wall portion merging via an inner lower wall portion into an upwardly extending inner wall portion adapted to be positioned close to a window area of an automobile. The mirror assembly comprises a support bracket extending at an angle from a bracket foot portion mounted on the inner lower wall portion of the housing to a free end portion of the bracket which, through connections including a tensioned ball joint, holds a reflecting mirror plate securely yet adjustably positioned inside the housing opening. A head adaptor member fixed to the inner lower wall portion of the housing protrudes from it to a resettable connection with a mounting bracket to be fixed to the vehicle, as to a car door at the driver's seat, by which connection the angular position of the mirror head relative to the mounting bracket can be selected and set so as to position the mirror plate azimuthally as desired for the driver' s range of vision. The arrangement is adaptable to both left-side and right-side outside rear view mirrors.
