<p>The invention concerns a exterior rear view mirror assembly for a motor vehicle which is of modular design, allowing a variety of vehicle styles and fold-back mechanisms to be catered for. The assembly, made up of components chosen from sets, comprises: a base (10), for attachment to the vehicle side; a housing (20), which contains the mirror (30) and the mirror tilting arrangement (40); and a housing positioning unit (50,50A). The positioning unit allows the housing (20) to be folded to a parking position generally parallel to the vehicle side, either towards the front or towards the rear of the vehicle, or from such a position to a viewing position, where the housing protrudes from the vehicle side. The positioning unit (50,50A) comprises a stationary part (51,51A) fixed to the base (10), a rotary part (52,52A) for attachment to the housing (20), the two parts being coupled by a rotating mechanism which includes a means of blocking the rotation when the housing is in a parking position. The positioning unit mounting portion (55,55A) and the complementary seating formed in the housing (23) are of a fixed shape, so that different positioning units can be used, for example manual units (50A) or motor-driven units (50). <IMAGE></p> |
