Abstract
A mechanically adjustable rear-view mirror has a mounting unit (7) to attach it to a truck. A servomotor unit (20) is mounted between a base plate (18) attached to the mounting unit and a support plate (19) running roughly parallel to the base plate. The base plate is firmly attached to a housing (1) containing the mirror (3). The servomotor unit (20) contains two servomotors (31, 32) which are attached to the support plate (19) and connected to the base plate (18) via actuators (37, 38) and universal joints (41, 42). In addition, a bearing support (43) which is also connected to the base plate (18) by a universal joint (44) is attached to the support plate (19). A pair of universal joints (41, 44 or 42, 44) form a pivot axis for the opposite servomotor (31, 32). This construction is simple, is easy to install and is very stable.
