Abstract
Tilt control device for an exterior "break-away" mirror assembly (10) of a motor vehicle comprises at least two lines (18) extending from the mirror back (13) of the mirror assembly over rigid curved guide line surfaces (20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27) which guide the lines between the mirror back (13) and the control lever (24, 64), the lines being secured at the control lever ends in a manner to provide maximum line movement in response to control lever movement within an available space at the inner end of the control lever.
