A pair of external vehicle mirrors with a driver-side external vehicle mirror and a passenger-side external vehicle mirror are provided. Each have a mirror foot and a mirror housing pivotably attached, in which an adjustable mirror glass is arranged. The mirror housings of the two external vehicle mirrors are constructed symmetrically, so that an identical oncoming wind flow situation is achieved, and that on a rear side of the two mirror housings there is arranged a mask encompassing the mirror glass, the mask of the driver-side external vehicle mirror being formed asymmetrically to the mask of the passenger-side external vehicle mirror.

An exterior rearview mirror of a passenger motor vehicle has a retaining foot which can be fastened to a vehicle body in the region of a mirror triangle by fastening means. In order to simplify the installation and removal of an exterior rearview mirror of this type, the fastening means have at least one retaining bracket which is arranged on the retaining foot and is configured in such a manner that it can be hooked in gripping from behind at an edge of an opening formed in the vehicle body in the region of the mirror triangle. The fastening means have at least one latch which is arranged on the retaining foot and is mounted on the retaining foot in a manner such that it can be adjusted between an unblocking position, in which the latch, with the retaining bracket hooked in at the edge, unblocks the edge, and a locking position, in which the latch, with the retaining bracket hooked in at the edge, grips behind the edge.

An outside rear view mirror is provided for vehicles. The outside rear view mirror has a mirror housing having an interior and exterior. There is provided at least one light exit opening in the mirror housing. Also included is a repeating flashing light having at least one light source associated with the light exit opening in the mirror housing. A luminous film is located on the exterior of the mirror housing. The light exit opening is filled at least partially with a light guide connected with the light source.

A mirror housing for an exterior rear-view mirror on a vehicle exhibits a mirror face received in an opening and directed towards the vehicle tail. The mirror housing also exhibits a water channel which runs around the mirror housing adjacent to the opening, which water channel is integrated into the mirror housing opposite the housing surface with side walls sunk in with respect to said housing surface, and by means of which water which impinges in a drive mode is collected before it reaches the opening and is channelled in the direction of the lower housing edge. The mirror housing terminates, between the lower opening border and the water channel, in a strip which is oriented, at an angle with respect to the housing surface, in the direction of the tail and downwards.

An external mirror assembly for vehicles, which can be fastened to a fixture on the bodywork side and which exhibits a mirror casing in which a mirror glass is securable to a holding part. The mirror casing, following the fitting of the holding part to the vehicle, can be pushed over the holding part and can be detachably secured in an end position.

External mirror for vehicle

In the illustrative embodiment of the invention as described an engine bonnet is articulated to the framework of a motor car. A gas spring is articulated to both the framework and the bonnet. The gas spring balances part of the weight of the bonnet when the bonnet is to be opened by hand. In case of an accident the framework and/or the bonnet may be crushed in longitudinal direction of the car. In such case the piston rod of the gas spring is pushed inward of the cylinder beyond the normal innermost operational position and a retaining device becomes effective so as to prevent the piston rod from returning towards its outermost operational position.
