Abstract:
An automobile mirror swiveling device (11) comprising:a mirror support plate (12), which is pivotable around two orthogonal pivot axes (14, 14â€²) in relation to a housing (13) fixed on an object, the plate being supported by two threaded rods (18â€”18, 18â€²â€”18â€²) per pivot axis (14, 14â€²), which in turn each extend through a threaded bushing (24, 24â€²) having an additional external thread, these threaded bushings (24, 24â€²) being rotatably mounted on the housing (13) and rotationally linked to one another in such a way, that each of the pair of threaded rods (18â€”18, 18â€²â€”18â€²) of a pivot axis (14, 14â€²), through rotation of its pair of threaded bushings (24â€”24, 24â€²â€”24â€²), move one threaded rod (18, 18â€²) different distances into the housing (13) and simultaneously move the other threaded rod (18, 18â€²) out of the housing (13) on the opposite side and in this way pivot the mirror support plate (12) around one of the two pivot axes (14, 14â€²), one motor (17, 17â€²), having a pinion (16, 16â€²) and a gear (19, 19â€²), rotatable by this pinion (16, 16â€²), being provided per pivot axis (14, 14â€²) for this purpose, the gear being provided with external teeth, which engage with both the pinion (16, 16â€²) of the motor (17, 17â€²) and with the external threads on the two threaded bushings (24, 24â€²) for this pivot axis (14, 14â€²).
