ABSTRACT:
Apparatus enabling a vehicle operator to remotely control the positioning of an object, such as a rear view mirror, pivotally mounted on the exterior of the vehicle. The apparatus includes a support member for the object to be positioned, a base member attached to the vehicle exterior and a ball and socket joint connecting the support member to the base member. There are a pair of linkages, each including a helical spring extending between the base member and the support member. Each linkage is actuable to pivot the support member about a respective one of two mutually transverse pivotal axes. Each linkage is driven by a reversible motor operated by a four position switch inside the vehicle.
