Disclosed is an outside rear-view mirror for a truck or bus to the body of which a bar is mounted. A mirror housing is provided for holding a mirror glass which is mounted to the bar by two mounting devices. Each mounting device includes a profile formed from a base wall of the mirror housing proximate to one of the side walls of the mirror housing and an intermediate member to be inserted between the bar and a profile. Thereby, transfer of vibrations of the bar to the mirror glass is substantially reduced.

Outside rear-view mirror for vehicles

According to the invention an outside rear-view mirror for a vehicle especially for a truck or a bus is provided which has a holder rod adapted to be fastened to the car body and a mirror housing mounted to a portion of the holder rod. The mirror housing accommodates a mirror glass the position of which may be adjusted by mechanical or electrical means. The mirror housing is formed with a shackle projecting towards said portion of the holder rod, and a first clamping piece is fixed to the shackle by two bolts which are spaced in the direction of said portion of the holder rod and which extend through a curved slot cut into the shackle. The length of the slot is substantially greater than the distance between the bolts. A second clamping piece may be mounted to the first clamping piece so that both clamping pieces grip the outer contour of said portion of the holder rod.
