Abstract: A rear view mirror assembly for commercial vehicles comprises a tubular support structure having a first end fixable to a commercial vehicle and a second end extending from the commercial vehicle, and a support arm including a molded part and at least one core element. The molded part encapsulates the core element and a substantial portion of the tubular support structure. The molded part and the core element each have a respective density, the core element density being less than the molded part density, whereby the presence of the core element within the molded part reduces the overall weight of the support arm.

Abstract: Described is a system for the automatic adjustment of external mirrors when driving in curves by vehicles, in particular commercial vehicles with a tow, tractor-trailers, articulated buses and the like. This system possesses a sensor for the detection of turning of the vehicle about a vertical axis, a control apparatus which is connected to said sensor and one electromotive mirror adjustment apparatus connected with the control apparatus for the tracking of the external mirror above a zero point corresponding to the turning of the vehicle about its vertical axis. The sensor for the detection of the turning movement of the vehicle about its vertical axis is, in this application, a turn-rate sensor based on gyroscopic principles.

The holding plate has two opposite sides. The mirror carrier plate assembly includes a substantially planar mirror carrier plate having a first surface for receiving a mirror and a second surface opposite the first surface, and at least two sets of projecting clips extending from the second surface of the mirror carrier plate and configured to receive and matingly retain the opposite sides of the holding plate. The sets are disposed substantially along the sliding direction. At least one of the sets of projecting clips is disposed on the mirror carrier plate along a first curved line so that a first portion of the one set is disposed further from a line extending in the sliding direction than a second portion of the one set. Related rear view mirror assemblies are also disclosed.
