Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to an adjusting instrument for an exterior mirror unit of a vehicle, including a support unit and a housing unit pivotable in a circumferential direction between a plurality of positions relative to the support unit. Furthermore, the adjusting instrument includes a breakable rotation-locked coupling unit for coupling of the housing unit to the support unit. The coupling unit comprises a plural number N of parallel disposed couplings where each coupling has two mutually opposed coupling faces, pressed against each other under spring action and mutually displaceable in the circumferential direction. The coupling faces have a periodic cam pattern engaging in each other, wherein the two coupling faces are mutually breakably rotation-locked and wherein only a limited number M of couplings is in engagement at the same time, with M being less than N.
