ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an outside rear-view mirror for a vehicle having a mirror housing which is mounted to a pedestal such that the mirror housing may rock relative to the pedestal upon impact from the front or from the rear. Within the mirror housing means are provided for holding a mirror glass which allow pivoting of the mirror glass about anyone or both of two perpendicular pivot axes, one of which is normally upright and the other of which runs transversely to the car body to which the pedestal is fastened. An adjusting device for adjusting the position of the mirror glass includes a lever mounted to the mirror housing and adapted to rotate about axes which run parallel to the pivot axes of the mirror glass. The first arm of the lever is coupled to a handle which may be manipulated from the interior of the car. A second arm of the lever is coupled to the mirror glass through two spaced articulation joints, the center line of the first of which is placed within a plane including one of the pivot axes and extending perpendicular to the other pivot axis, and the other of which is arranged outside said plane.
