Abstract
In an apparatus for controlling a rear angle of an outside mirror for an automobile, ultrasonic waves are, for a given period of time, projected onto: a controller (,) having coupling grooves (,) opposite to fixing grooves (,) for fixing the other end of inside cable (,) whose one end is fixed at a glass holder plate, and a supporting rod (,) with a predetermined length; and a control knob (,) having a coupling portion (,) with coupling projections (,) on its inside circumference, which correspond to the coupling grooves (,), for fixing the controller inserted, a supporting hole (,) with a predetermined length, where the supporting rod (,) is inserted into the inside of the coupling portion (,), and a hemispheric flange (,) having a guide hole (,) with a predetermined width, where a control case is inserted into the outside of the coupling portion (,), so that the coupling grooves (,) of the controller (,) are welded and mate with the coupling projections of the control knob (,), and that the supporting rod (,) of the controller and the supporting hole of the control knob (,) are welded and mate with each other. Accordingly, the apparatus causes parts to decrease in number, thereby simplifying assembly process and reducing the cost of manufacture, and enhancing the operation efficiency of the control knob (,).
