Rear-view mirror for motor vehicles.

摘要

The mirror comprises a bracket (12) adapted to be secured to the vehicle and having a portion (16) with a part-spherical outer surtace. The mirror housing (24) also has a portion (22) with a part-spherical outer surface of opposite curvature to that of the portion (16). An intermediate member has a part-spherical portion (20) received between the two-part spherical surfaces and a side portion (18) projecting laterally. A spring (32) applies a radial compressive force to retain the part-spherical surfaces in mutual engagement. Guide means (42) fast with the bracket constrains a first part of said side portion to remain in a fixed plane, while actuating means (46-56) in engagement with a second part of said side portion, are operative to cause displacement of said second part both in a direction parallel to said fixed plane and in a direction perpendicular thereto.
