Abstract
According to the invention an outside rear-view mirror for a vehicle especially for a truck or a bus is provided which has a holder rod adapted to be fastened to the car body and a mirror housing mounted to a portion of the holder rod. The mirror housing accommodates a mirror glass the position of which may be adjusted by mechanical or electrical means. The mirror housing is formed with a shackle projecting towards said portion of the holder rod, and a first clamping piece is fixed to the shackle by two bolts which are spaced in the direction of said portion of the holder rod and which extend through a curved slot cut into the shackle. The length of the slot is substantially greater than the distance between the bolts. A second clamping piece may be mounted to the first clamping piece so that both clamping pieces grip the outer contour of said portion of the holder rod.
