Abstract
Apparatus for adjusting a motor-car mirror about two mutually perpendicular axes. The apparatus has a housing having therein a reversible motor, an electromagnetically operable clutch, and two planetary transmission assemblies each having an output shaft connected to a mirror adjusting unit. The units act upon a tilting adjusting ring which in any position is in sealing contact with a raised edge of the bottom member of the housing. A safety housing for mounting the apparatus has a protective cap having two substantially parallel partitions spaced apart so as to be capable of receiving the top part of a mounting column between them. A clamping device forces the partitions against the surface of the column. The cap will thus withstand light impact forces, but turn relative to the column when struck by a bicycle or other vehicle in traffic.
