Abstract
A new and improved remotely controlled, day/night mirror apparatus includes an outer housing assembly for connection to an exterior portion of a motor vehicle. An inner housing support assembly is contained within the outer housing assembly and is supported by the outer housing assembly. An inner housing assembly is provided, and an adjustable connection assembly is connected between the inner housing assembly and the inner housing support assembly, for adjusting an angular orientation of the inner housing assembly with respect to the outer housing assembly. A day/night mirror assembly is pivotally supported by the inner housing assembly by a mirror pivot pin. An incremental tilt assembly is connected between the day/night mirror assembly and the inner housing assembly distal from the mirror pivot pin, for incrementally tilting the day/night mirror assembly around the mirror pivot pin from a day position to a night position and vice versa. An incremental control assembly is connected to the incremental tilt assembly for incrementally controlling the incremental tilt assembly. The incremental control assembly includes an exterior portion connected to the incremental tilt assembly, a…
