Remotely controlled rear view mirror

A remotely controlled rear view mirror assembly for a motor vehicle comprising a base adapted to be mounted on a vehicle body, a casing mounted on the base, a reflective member mounted in the casing for angular movement relative to the casing about two mutually perpendicular axes, a control member on the base and two thrust-transmitting units responsive to the control member for selectively applying a thrust to the reflective member at two locations, each of which is offset relative to a respective one of the two mutually perpendicular axes, wherein each thrust-transmitting unit comprises guide means mounted in the casing and an elongate member slidably mounted in the guide means, the elongate member having two end portions of cross section adapted to resist bending about first and second mutually perpendicular transverse directions, said end portions being interconnected by an intermediate portion having a cross-section adapted to permit bending in the first transverse direction, and the guide means being arranged to direct one end of each elongate member into abutment with a surface of the reflective member facing the interior of the casing and to direct the other end of each elongate member through an opening in the casing facing the base so as to abut against the control member.
