Abstract
The invention relates to an exterior rear-view mirror comprising an adjustably held glass subassembly and at least one electrical drive motor ( ), with the glass subassembly being adjustable via at least one adjustment mechanism arranged between the drive motor ( ) and the glass subassembly. The adjustment mechanism comprises a drive shaft ( ) with an eccentrically shaped shaft section ( ) and a drive bar ( ) arranged between the glass subassembly and the eccentrically shaped shaft section ( ) of the drive shaft ( ). The drive shaft ( ) and the drive bar interact in such a way that a rotatory actuating movement of the drive shaft ( ) is converted to a linear actuating movement, acting on the glass subassembly, of the drive bar ( ) as a result of excursion of the eccentrically shaped shaft section ( ).
