ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle rear-view mirror, having a shell-shaped housing with an opening directed counter to the direction of travel, and having a mirror body adjustably arranged in the opening, which is substantially closed thereby. A control lever having a handle projects into the vehicle passenger compartment and is mounted by means of a ball joint in such a way that the control lever can be rotated about its longitudinal axis for adjusting the mirror body about a horizontal axis, and additionally can be pivoted for adjusting the mirror body about a vertical axis. The control lever, at the mirror end thereof, has a bend terminating in a ball joint socket arrangement, so that a plate mounted therewith is movable back and forth about a shaft fixed to outer ends of arms of a pivot lever pivotally mounted on a mounting support behind the mirror body. A pin projects to one side of the mirror body toward the vehicle, and is limited in movement by an elongated hole formed by an extension of the base of the housing. A bellows along with hinged or folding shafts near the top and bottom thereof is arranged between the vehicle shell and the mirror housing. A moment or motion is introduced into the plate via the bend and a rotation of the control lever; the moment leads to a pivoting of the mirror body about a horizontal axis, i.e. to a pitching movement of the mirror body. The transfer of the pivot path of the bend is hereby assured through the noted ball joint connection, which in turn establishes the connection to the hinged plate.
