A drive mechanism for an external rear view device to be fitted to a motor vehicle includes a vehicle mountable frame base, a frame arm for accommodating the external rear view device rotatable with respect to the frame base about a first axis, a drive coupling rotatable with respect to the frame base about a second axis, and a drive shaft operably connected to the drive coupling by a first connection and operably connected to the frame arm by a second connection.

Drive mechanism and rear view device

A powerfold mechanism for an external rear view mirror is disclosed. The mechanism comprises: a powerfold housing mountable between a mirror housing and a vehicle mountable mirror base; a clutch member urged into engagement with the mirror, the clutch member allowing the mirror housing to be manually moved with respect to the mirror base; an electric drive train between the powerfold housing and the clutch member; and a drive stop movably mounted to the powerfold housing and having a drive stop face engagable with a drive stop detent mounted to the mirror base.

Power fold mechanism

A vehicle external rear view mirror assembly comprising a bracket and a mirror head, a pair of parallel outer arm assemblies (') having a front portion and a rear portion, the front portion having a rack (&#x2032;), a pair of parallel inner arm assemblies (&#x2032;) and extending into respective outer arm assemblies (&#x2032;), each inner arm assembly (&#x2032;) having a front portion and a rear portion, a pair of driving pinion gears (&#x2032;), each engaging a respective rack (&#x2032;), a pinion drive shaft (), a drive motor (), and a gear train, the drive motor () driving the inner arm assemblies (&#x2032;) to move telescopically with respect to their respective outer arm assemblies (&#x2032;), wherein each outer arm assembly (&#x2032;) is recessed back from the distal end towards the bracket to allow the pinion drive shaft assembly to travel towards the bracket behind the front portion of the outer arm assembly (&#x2032;).
