Abstract
Disclosed is an outside rear view mirror for a vehicle which has a mirror housing mounted to a pedestal such that it may rock relative to the pedestal upon impact from the front or from the rear. Within the mirror housing, means are provided for holding a mirror glass which allow pivoting of the mirror glass about any one or both of two perpendicular pivot axes, one of which is normally upright and the other of which runs transversely to the car body to which the pedestal is fastened. An adjusting device for adjusting the position of the mirror glass includes a lever which is pivotably mounted within the pedestal, and one end of which is provided with a handle and the opposite end of which is coupled to a rod. The rod extends through a joint coupling the mirror housing rockably to the pedestal into the mirror housing and is pivotably mounted to a stud means projecting from the back of the mirror and offset from the point of intersection of said axes.
