Arrangement for adjusting a rear view mirror for commercial vehicles

摘要

A device for adjusting rear view mirrors includes a vehicle-side first element and a movable second element. A reflecting surface is attached to the second element. One of the first or second elements has a concave surface, and the other element has a convex surface. The second element pivots about at least one axis that is fixed with respect to the first element. A joining slot is formed where the convex surface slides over the concave surface. One of the elements has a sealing lip that makes sliding contact with the other element and prevents foreign objects from entering the slot between the convex surface and the concave surface. The sealing lip annularly contacts either the convex surface or the concave surface. Alternatively, the concave surface is formed by a spherical shell, and the sealing lip slides over a second convex surface disposed on the shell opposite the concave surface.

1. A device for adjusting a rear view mirror, comprising:
a vehicle-side first element with a concave surface; and a movable second element with a convex surface, wherein a joining slot is formed where the convex surface slides over the concave surface, wherein the second element pivots about at least one axis that is fixed with respect to the first element, wherein a reflecting surface is attached to the second element, wherein the second element has a sealing lip that makes sliding contact with the first element, and wherein the second element includes a housing with a housing opening and an inner space, wherein the sealing lip is attached around an edge of the housing opening, and wherein all of the convex surface remains inside the inner space as the sealing lip slides along the first element.
