Actuator mechanism for adjusting the position of a mirror element in a wing mirror for a motor vehicle, comprising an electric motor and a mirror adjusting element movably coupled therewith via a drive train. The drive train comprises a main gear which is included in the drive train nearer to the mirror adjusting element and further comprises a pinion being in mesh with the main gear, which pinion is included in the drive train nearer to the electric motor. The main gear and the pinion cooperate through an evoloid toothing. The invention also relates to a wing mirror for a motor vehicle in which at least one actuator mechanism is included.
An actuator mechanism for adjusting the angular position of a mirror element in a wing mirror for a motor vehicle, comprising an electric motor and a mirror adjusting element movably coupled therewith via a drive train, the drive train comprising a main gear which is included in the drive train nearer to the mirror adjusting element and further comprising a pinion being in mesh with the main gear, which pinion is included in the drive train nearer to the electric motor, while the main gear and the pinion cooperate through an evoloid toothing.
An actuator mechanism according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein between the main gear and the mirror adjusting element a slip coupling is included in the drive train.
A wing mirror for a motor vehicle, comprising a substantially cup-shaped mirror housing and a mirror element arranged to be pivotable relative thereto about at least one pivoting axis, and an actuator mechanism for adjusting the angular position of the mirror element relative to the mirror housing by pivoting the mirror element, the actuator mechanism comprising an electric motor connected with the mirror housing, and a mirror adjusting element movably coupled with the electric motor via a drive train and connected with the mirror element, the drive chain comprising a main gear which is included in the drive train nearer to the mirror adjusting element and further comprising a pinion being in mesh with the main gear, which pinion is included in the drive train nearer to the electric motor, while further the main gear and the pinion cooperate through an evoloid toothing.
