Abstract: An external rear view mirror for motor vehicles, particularly commercial trucks, includes a support arm and mounting devices for mounting the support arm to the motor vehicle. A housing defining an interior volume is provided with the support arm having a vertical portion extending completely through the housing interior volume. At least one support plate is removably attached directly to the support arm vertical portion. An adjustable mirror assembly is mounted to the support plate front side so as to be variably positionable relative thereto. An antenna mounting bracket is formed integral with and extends from the support plate back side into the housing interior volume. The antenna mounting bracket is configured for receipt of an antenna which extends out of the housing. The entire weight of the antenna and the antenna mounting bracket is supported by the support plate which is in turn attached directly to the support arm.

Abstract: A rear-view mirror assembly is provided for motor vehicles, particularly commercial trucks. A housing defines an interior volume and at least one mirror glass assembly is removably attached to the open front side of the housing. A non-rotatable longitudinal support rod extends completely through the interior volume of the housing in a longitudinal vertical direction. Portions of the support rod extend from the housing at the top and bottom thereof for attaching the mirror to a support structure of the motor vehicle. The housing is manually or remotely rotatable relative to the longitudinal support rod.

Abstract: An external rear-view mirror for motor vehicles, particularly trucks, has a support arm and brackets for mounting the support arm to a motor vehicle. A longitudinal housing defines an interior volume and an open-faced front chamber. The support arm has a vertical portion which extends completely through the interior volume in a longitudinal direction. At least two vertically aligned support plates are disposed within the open-faced front chamber and are mounted directly to the support arm vertical portion. A remotely controlled motor drive mechanism is mounted on each support plate front side within the open-faced chamber. An adjustable mirror assembly is configured with each motor drive mechanism and includes a mirror support plate with a mirror glass surface fixed to a front side thereof. The mirror assembly is variably positionable relative to the housing and the support plate by the motor drive mechanism.
