Remote control device for outside rearview mirrors adjustable from inside a vehicle by means of a cable transmission, comprising a body in which the cables are guided in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the said body. The body 1 is fitted on the vehicle door with its longitudinal axis XX.sub.1 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and the semi-spherical control member 8 is integral with an operating lever 14 perpendicular to the axis of the said semi-spherical member 8 and extending inside the vehicle at right angle with the longitudinal axis of the body 1 when the said semi-spherical member is in the neutral position, the said body being provided with openings 16, 17, 17a the edges of which ensure the guiding of the operating lever and of the semi-spherical control member. The invention is used for the remote control of rearview mirrors.
A remote control device for an outside rearview mirror adjustable from inside the vehicle by means of a cable transmission, comprising a body and a plurality of cables extending through the body along a substantially straight course and guided therein substantially in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the said body, the body being provided with a spherical socket against which rests a semi-spherical control member which is fast with one of the cable ends, wherein the said body is fitted on a vehicle door with its longitudinal axis in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and wherein the semi-spherical control member is fast with an operating lever which is perpendicular to the axis of the said semi-spherical member and extending inside the said vehicle at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the body when the said semi-spherical member is in the neutral position, said body being provided with two diametrically opposed openings whose edges ensure the guiding of the operating lever and of the semi-spherical control member having helical gradients against which move two studs integral with the semi-spherical control member, so that the movement of said studs against the helical gradients imparts a rotary movement to the semi-spherical member, the said body being provided between the two diametrically opposed openings with a third quadrangular opening in which moves the said control lever.
A remote control device for an outside rearview mirror adjustable from inside the vehicle by means of a cable transmission, comprising a body and a plurality of cables extending through the body along a substantially straight course and guided therein substantially in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the said body, the body being provided with a spherical socket against which rests a semi-spherical control member which is fast with one of the cable ends, wherein the said body is fitted on a vehicle door with its longitudinal axis in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and wherein the semi-spherical control member is fast with an operating lever which is perpendicular to the axis of the said semi-spherical member and extending inside the said vehicle at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the body when the said semi-spherical member is in the neutral position, said body being provided with openings whose edges ensure the guiding of the operating lever and of the semi-spherical control member, the semi-spherical control member being provided in its spherical part with a truncated cone-shaped cavity of quadrangular cross-section in which is engaged one of the ends of a central rod mounted on the body, so that the semi-spherical member and next, the mirror, are guided along a quadrangular movement.
