External rear view mirror for motor vehicles is pivoted within housing by position indicator to eliminate 'blind angle'

摘要

The mirror (6) is positioned in a housing (7) and is adjusted by the direction indicator via a pivot bearing (2), and connecting rod (5) with eccentric (3) and motor (4). When the indicator is operated, the mirror is moved in and out through a defined pivot area, at a set speed of approx. 2-3 rotation per second, continuously about a vertical axis.
