Abstract: Adjusting instrument for an exterior vision unit of a vehicle, comprising a base with a foot for attachment to the vehicle, and a frame for carrying the exterior vision unit. The frame is pivotably attached to the base between at least a drive position and a park position via a pair of mutually facing, cooperating cam patterns arranged on the base and the frame, respectively. Each of the two cam patterns comprises cams disposed circumferentially around the pivoting axis in a ring segment, such that cams of the patterns in the drive position engage each other in a rotation-locking manner, and in the pivoting range from and to the drive position adjust over each other. A first cam pattern is provided with a bridge connecting spaced cams in the circumferential direction. The spaced cams form a guiding track on which a guide cam of the second cam pattern is supported.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adjusting instrument for an exterior vision unit for a vehicle, comprising a base shaft and a housing surrounding the base shaft which is pivotable around a longitudinal axis adjustment range between at least a park position and a drive position. The adjusting instrument further comprises a driving gearwheel, a gearwheel body, and a spring. The driving gearwheel includes a face provided with an outer toothing surrounding the base shaft, defining a face height within which a web part of the gearwheel body extends in a transverse plane with respect to the base shaft. The spring surrounds the base shaft and is supported on a support surface of the gearwheel body, exerting a force on the driving gearwheel along the longitudinal axis. The support surface lies recessed in an axial direction with respect to the transverse plane, such that the spring reaches through the transverse plane.

Abstract: Adjusting instrument for an exterior vision unit, comprising: a base shaft, a housing surrounding the base shaft, which is pivotable around a longitudinal axis of the base shaft in an adjustment range, wherein the housing is provided with a housing ring, and a drive ring surrounding the base shaft. The drive ring is provided with a cam which can cooperate with the housing ring so as, upon pivoting of the housing relative to the drive ring in a pivoting direction around the base shaft, to move the housing via the housing ring from a high housing position along the base shaft downwards into a low housing position, and upon pivoting of the drive ring relative to the housing in an opposite pivoting direction around the base shaft, to move the drive ring along the base shaft upwards from a low drive ring position into a high drive ring position.
