Abstract: A remote control rear view mirror which includes; a mirror member and a mirror supporting member of molded plastic and each mounted on transversely disposed trunnion supports in a housing member, a gear member provided on the mirror supporting member and engaged with a gear segment provided on the mirror member, single cable means operative of the gear member for turning it and axially moving it to change the viewing angle of the mirror member, and a control mechanism for effecting axial and rotational movement of the gear member via the cable means with only rotational movement at the control.

Abstract: A West coast style mirror for vehicles and which includes a housing having a mirror supporting member mounted therein and which is pivotal about a relatively fixed axis, a mirror member mounted on the supporting member for movement about a second relatively fixed axis, a pinion gear mounted on the supporting member, a gear segment provided on the back of the mirror member and engaged with the pinion gear, and remote control cable means adapted by rotational movement to turn the pinion gear and by push-pull actuation to move the mirror supporting member, on which the pinion gear is mounted, for selective adjustment of the viewing angle of the mirror member.
