A rearview mirror for vehicles which is adjustable in two planes and has a mirror housing accommodating the mirror glass, a universal mounting for adjustment of the mirror, and a mounting housing accommodating an adjustment drive mechanism. Two shafts are connected to the adjustment drive mechanism, the shafts being driven directly by the adjustment drive mechanism and being rotatable independently of each other. One of the shafts is connected to the mirror housing so that when that shaft is driven, the mirror is swivelled relative to the housing and the other shaft is rigidly mounted on the framework of the vehicle so that when it is driven the housing mechanism together with the mirror housing is swivelled about the last mentioned shaft.

Rearview mirror adjustable in two planes

A rear view mirror for vehicles which is adjustable in two planes and wherein a mirror support which supports the mirror glass is arranged inside a mirror housing and coupled through a cruciform joint with the housing which accommodates the adjusting drive. Adjustment of the mirror support relative to the mirror housing is obtained by application of the adjusting drive to the axes of the cruciform joint. The mirror assembly provides an absolutely sealed drive housing and is virtually unrestrictedly adjustable about the vertical axes, with minimized constructional depth, as both axes of the cruciform joint are connected with the drive housing, they are directly driven by the adjusting drive and are relatively independently rotatable, one axis being attached to the mirror support and the other axis to the mirror housing.
