Abstract: The invention relates to a mirror head for an exterior rear view mirror for motor vehicles, comprising a mirror housing, which is fixed to the mirror support. To minimize vibrations caused by the force of the wind or similar, the mirror housing has a partial flexibility in relation to the mirror support. By subjecting the mirror housing to an appropriate force, said housing can be displaced in relation to the mirror support. A flexible connection between the mirror housing and the mirror support permits the vibrations at least to be minimized. The mirror head is designed for use as an exterior rear view mirror for motor vehicles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mirror head for an exterior rear view mirror for motor vehicles, comprising a mirror housing (3), which is fixed to the mirror support (4). To minimise vibrations caused by the force of the wind or similar, the mirror housing (3) has a partial flexibility in relation to the mirror support (4). By subjecting the mirror housing (3) to an appropriate force, said housing can be displaced in relation to the mirror support (4). A flexible connection between the mirror housing (3) and the mirror support (4) permits the vibrations at least to be minimised. The mirror head is designed for use as an exterior rear view mirror for motor vehicles.

Abstract: In some embodiments of outer rear-view mirrors, a mirror head (12) and a mirror base (11) are joined together in an articulated manner by a hinge (15, 16). The mirror head (12) can pivot out of a normal operational position in or against the travelling direction (10) and be fixed in the position swivelled against the travelling direction (10). For the outer rear-view mirror to be pivotable out of its normal operational position in or against the travelling direction (10), the intermediate joint (30) has two parallel joint axes arranged between the mirror base and the mirror head, and a U-shaped projection (37). The outer rear-view mirror is advantageously used in motor vehicles.
