Abstract
A setting and adjusting device for rearview mirrors mounted on a vehicle body comprising a mirror housing adapted to be mounted on the vehicle body and a mirror plate having a rear surface and a front reflecting surface. The mirror plate is adjustably mounted in the housing for pivoting and tilting of the mirror plate about a substantially vertical axis and a substantially horizontal axis, respectively. End stops limit the pivoting and tilting of the mirror plate. Controllable adjusting devices upon actuation and release thereof, respectively, pivot and tilt the mirror plate about the horizontal and vertical axes into predetermined lateral and vertical positions, respectively, and against the stops, respectively. A pivot lever and a bearing head, respectively, are operatively mounted to the mirror plate so as to positively engage the mirror plate in a pivot and tilt direction, respectively, and so as to be freely moveable relative to the mirror plate in a non-pivoting and non-tilting direction, respectively. Frictional slip couplings independently connect the pivot lever and the bearing head to an associated adjusting device, respectively.
