Abstract: An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror head adjustably mounted at a mounting arm and adjustable between a retracted position and an extended position. The mirror reflective element is oriented to provide a driver of the vehicle a field of view rearward and sideward of the vehicle with the mounting arm attached at the side of the vehicle when the mirror head is in the retracted position and when the mirror head is in the extended position. The mirror head is connected to the mounting arm via pivotable first and second links that cooperatively pivot relative to the mounting arm and the mirror head to move the mirror head between the retracted and extended positions. An actuator is disposed at an end of the first link and operates to pivot the first link to move the mirror head between the retracted position and the extended position.

Abstract: An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror head having a mirror casing and a mirror reflective element. A mounting arm is configured for attachment at a side of the vehicle, with the mirror head adjustably mounted at the mounting arm. An adjustment mechanism adjusts the mirror head position relative to the mounting arm between a retracted position and an extended position. The adjustment mechanism, when adjusting the mirror head position, also adjusts a mirror head angle relative to the side of the vehicle. When the mirror head is in the retracted position, a mirror head surface is at a first plane, while, when the mirror head is in the extended position, the mirror head surface is at a second plane. The mirror head surface is angled more towards the side of the vehicle when in the second plane than when in the first plane.

Abstract translation: 用于车辆的外部后视镜组件包括具有镜壳体和镜反射元件的镜头。 安装臂构造成用于附接在车辆的一侧，其中镜头可调节地安装在安装臂上。 调节机构相对于安装臂在缩回位置和延伸位置之间调节镜头位置。 调节机构在调整镜头位置时也调整相对于车辆侧面的镜头角度。 当镜头处于缩回位置时，镜头表面处于第一平面，而当镜头处于伸出位置时，镜头表面处于第二平面。 当在第二平面中时，镜头表面更倾向于车辆的侧面，而不是在第一平面中。
