<p>The specification describes an improvement in a rear view mirror of the type wherein an articulated support has a fixed body part adapted to be attached to a side of a vehicle body and a rotatable part, an arm structure interconnecting the rotatable part of the support and a side of the mirror body to support the mirror body in a projecting manner with respect to the vehicle body and pivot means by which the rotatable part of the support is pivoted with respect to the fixed part about an axis which, in a mounted position, is substantially vertical so as to enable angular movement of the mirror body and the arm structure between a position projecting laterally outwardly with respect to the vehicle body and a retracted position against the body, the improvement residing in the arm structure and comprising a linkage having pivot axes which, in the mounted position of the vehicle, are substantially horizontal, the linkage forming a polygon which is capable of expansion at least between an extended position, in which the mirror body is at a maximum distance from the support, and a retracted position, in which the mirror body is raised and drawn near to the vehicle body and releasable locking means on the linkage for selectively preventing and permitting expansion of the linkage.</p> |
