[Also in Division F2] A vehicle comprises a body structure e.g. a door, having an inner panel 14 partially defining a passenger compartment and an outer panel, and a rear view mirror control assembly including: a mirror reflective element 22 held in a backing plate 74 which is attached by a socket portion 76 to a ball 78 of a mirror housing (18), Fig. 1 (not shown), secured to the outer panel; a crank-shaft 44 journalled in apertures 43 and 42 of a generally U-shaped housing 32 and its end plate 40 respectively, and rotatable therein by a substantially flat knob 64 of large cross-section extending inside the passenger compartment, the housing 32 being secured by a nut 38 to the inner panel 14; and three controls wires 66, 68, 70, secured at one end 120 degrees apart about the socket 76 to the plate 74, the other ends being secured by looping them about three crankpins 58, 60, 62, radially offset relative to, and spaced 120 degrees apart about, the longitudinal axis of the crank-shaft 44, and longitudinally spaced along it, so that rotation of the knob 64 causes the mirror element 22 to perform a pivotal movement. |
