ABSTRACT:
A remote control apparatus for a vehicle rearview mirror including a control device disposed inside the vehicle and connected, by way of two transmission cables, to a mirror actuating device disposed inside the rearview mirror housing, on the exterior of the vehicle. The control device has a support member in which two transmission members are mounted for sliding in parallel and a control member pivotally and rotatably mounted to the support member. Each of the transmission members are connected to a transmission cable. One of the transmission members has a slot located in a place perpendicular to its sliding axis, in which slot is engaged one end of the control lever. The other of the transmission members has a slot inclined relative to the plane perpendicular to the sliding axis. A pin extends from the control member in a direction perpendicular to the one end thereof and engages the slot in the other transmission member. The actuating device includes a mirror housing, a crosspiece pivotally mounted to the mirror housing, a mirror pivotally mounted to the crosspiece, and the free end of one of the transmission cables interconnected with the crosspiece such as to pivot the mirror in one coordinate direction. The actuation device also includes a lever pivotally interconnected with the mirror housing, hingedly interconnected with the mirror, and fixedly interconnected with the free end of the other transmission cable to pivot the mirror in the other coordinate direction.
