Abstract
A remotely controlled rear view mirror assembly for a motor vehicle consists of a base adapted to be mounted on a vehicle body, a casing mouonted on the base and a reflective member mounted in the casing for angular movement about two mutually perpendicular axes. A control member is mounted on the base so as to engage with three elongate members each of which has two end portions of cross section adapted to resist bending about first and second mutually perpendicular transverse directions, interconnected by an intermediate portion having a cross-section adapted to permit bending in the first transverse direction. Guide means mounted in the casing are arranged to direct one end of each elongate member into abutment with a surface of the reflective member facing the interior of the casing, and to direct the other end of each elongate member through an opening in the casing facing the base so as to abut against the control member.
