Abstract: An external rearview mirror for motor vehicles comprises a base for attachment to one side of the vehicle body, a casing with an oblong reflecting sheet having a substantially major axis, and a support arm extending between the base and one side of the casing and incorporating a ball joint. The arm extends from a lower side corner zone of the casing in a direction substantially parallel to the major axis and, at its end corresponding to the base, includes a foot separate from the base. The base and the foot have means for coupling and fixing them together selectively in two positions at 180.degree. to each other with respect to an inclined axis which, when the base is attached to the body, is located substantially in a vertical transverse plane relative to the direction of movement of the vehicle and is oriented upwardy and outwardly from the side of the body at substantially 45.degree. to the horizontal.

Abstract: In an external rear view mirror, a drive mechanism is interposed between the body shell for supporting a mirror and the member for attaching the body shell to the body of a motor vehicle which allows a to-and-fro traversing movement of the body shell about a vertical axis. This traversing movement, which is controlled by a kinematic mechanism mounted within the body allows the reflecting surface of the mirror to scan the region behind the vehicle. A wiper mechanism is also provided for wiping the reflecting surface of the mirror. A single reversible electric motor is supported in the body shell for selective coupling to the drive mechanism or the wiper mechanism by respective clutches.

Abstract: A rear view mirror which can be extended and retracted laterally in a vertical plane, with respect to the body of a commercial vehicle, by means of an arm structure comprising an expandable polygonal linkage which interconnects a mirror body with a rotatable part of an articulated support fixed to the vehicle; the linkage having pivots formed by bolts which can be tightened to lock the mirror in an adjusted setting.
