Specification

CLIAMS:We claim:
1. A mechanism (100) for simultaneously adjusting a viewing angle in right rear view mirror (101) and left rear view mirror (102) of an automobile (A), the mechanism comprising:
an operating knob (103) comprising a base plate (103a), wherein the base plate (103a) comprises at least one cable holder (103b);
a plurality of bowden cables (104), wherein one end of each of the plurality of bowden cables (104) is fixed to the at least one of the right rear view mirror (101) and the left rear view mirror (102), and the other end of each of the plurality of bowden cables (104) is fixed to the at least one cable holder (103b); and
at least one housing (105) provisioned within the automobile (A) for guiding the plurality of bowden cables (104), wherein the at least one housing (105) comprises:
a fixed portion (105a) and movable portion (105b); and
at least one spring member (106) disposed between the fixed portion (105a) and the movable portion (105b) for maintaining tension on an inner cable (104a) of the plurality of bowden cables (104).

2. The mechanism (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the movable portion (105b) of the at least one housing comprises a plurality of first provisions (107).

3. The mechanism (100) as claimed in claim 2, wherein each of the plurality of first provisions (107) are adapted to accommodate at least one outer casing (104b) of the plurality of bowden cables (104).

4. The mechanism (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one cable holder (103b) comprises plurality of second provisions (108) for accommodating a cable nipple (112) provided in one end of each of the plurality of bowden cables (104).

5. The mechanism (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one cable holder (103b) is disposed inside a cavity (109) provisioned on the fixed portion (105a) of the housing (105).

6. The mechanism (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the operating knob (103) is provisioned within the automobile (A).

7. The mechanism (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the operating knob (103) is configured to actuate the at least one cable holder (103b).

8. The mechanism (100) as claimed in claim 7, wherein the at least one cable holder (103b) makes a ball joint movement inside the cavity (109) for adjusting the viewing angle in the right rear view mirror (101) and the left rear view mirror (102).

9. The mechanism (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fixed portion (105a) of the at least one housing (105) comprises a guide member (110) for supporting the at least one spring member (106).

10. The mechanism (100) as claimed in claims 1 and 9, wherein the movable portion (105b) of the at least one housing (105) comprises at least one hollow shaft (111) for accommodating one end of the guide member (110).

11. A method for simultaneously adjusting viewing angle in right rear view mirror (101) and left rear view mirror (102) of an automobile (A) using mechanism (100) as claimed in claim 1, the method comprising act of:
moving the operating knob (103) for actuating the at least one cable holder (103b), wherein the at least one cable holder (103b) pulls the inner cable (104a) of the at least one bowden cable (104) connected to each of the right rear view mirror (101) and the left rear view mirror (102) for simultaneously adjusting the viewing angle in both of the right rear view mirror (101) and left rear view mirror (102).

12. An automobile comprising a mechanism (100) for simultaneously adjusting a viewing angle in right rear view mirror (101) and left rear view mirror (102) as claimed in claim 1.
