Abstract
A rear view mirror assembly comprising a housing shell with a mirror glass receptive member that has a spherical surfaced projection on the back side thereof that is received in snap-lock engagement with a gimbal mounted ring in the housing shell so that the two are afforded relative movement therebetween. A gear toothed segment on an extended arm is provided on the mirror glass receptive member which is engaged by a pinion gear mounted on the gimbal ring so that when the pinion gear is turned, via a single strand bowden wire remote control operating structure, the mirror glass receptive member is actuated relative to the gimbal ring to effect a mirror adjustment, and when the pinion gear is moved axially the gimbal ring and the mirror glass receptive member are actuated together to effect a relatively different mirror adjustment movement.
