A holder 1, for a rear view mirror 10, comprises a housing 5 accommodating a pivot shaft provided with a coupling pin 22 which is loaded by a pressure spring 25 and side engages in grooves in a base piece 23 which can be rotated by an electric motor 3 (Fig. 1) through a worm 13 and wheel 17. When the rear view mirror or the like 10 collides with an object, the coupling part or pin 22 is lifted out of the grooves 24 against the pressure of the spring 25 and when the impact of the collision has subsided, the coupling part or pin 22 will slide down into the nearest groove 24. The motor 3 is then brought into operation, by a push button control, in one or the other of two directions until the mirror has returned to its original position. The motor 3 may also be used for readjustment of the mirror. <IMAGE> |
