Device for adjusting the position of a side mirror
First Claim
1. A device for adjusting the position of a side mirror on a vehicle comprising a mirror foot (2) adapted to be fixed to the vehicle, a mirror head having a mirror frame (1) and a mirror surface member (4), a toothed wheel mechanism having a toothed wheel (6) and a toothed quadrant (7) engaging with said toothed wheel (6) and articulated to an intermediate rotational axis (11) rotatably on said mirror foot, characterized in that said mirror frame (1) is connected to said mirror foot via an intermediate joint (8), wherein said intermediate joint (8) is articulated to a second rotational axis (10) different from said intermediate rotational axis (11) to said mirror foot (2), and a locking device comprising a hooked spring (12) which encompasses said second rotational axis of said intermediate joint as a locking projection to lock said mirror frame (1) to said second rotational axis (10).

Abstract
The device according to the invention is characterized in that a toothed rack (7) is articulated to the mirror foot (2) into which a toothed wheel (6) engages which is moved by a drive (5) fastened to the mirror frame (1). The mirror frame (1) is also articulated to the mirror foot (2) via an intermediate joint (8) articulated via a second rotating axle (10) different from the first. A hooked spring (12) which locks the mirror frame (1) to the mirror foot (2) enables the mirror frame (1) to move between two predetermined positions. The mirror frame can be moved from any position thereof by the drive (5) into the two positions and between the two positions.
