REAR VIEW ELEMENT FOLDING DEVICE

The invention relates to a rearview mirror folding device (1) for a motor vehicle for driving at least one rotational position of an element housing relative to an element base mountable on the motor vehicle and for locking or unlocking at least one rest position of the element housing relative to the element base, characterized by a first actuator (8) for a translational movement of a first engagement element (5) firmly connected to the element housing relative to a second engagement element (6) in connection with the element base along a rotation axis, wherein the first engagement element (5) and the second engagement element (6) in a locking position, such as a locked rest position of the element housing, are in firm engagement with one another and in an unlocking position, such as an unlocked rest position of the element housing, the engagement is released by a specific translational movement, and a second, separate actuator (3) for a rotational movement to rotate the first engagement element (5) relative to the second engagement element (6) about the rotation axis, wherein a first rotational position of the element housing from the unlocked rest position can be driven by a first rotational movement and a second rotational movement of the element housing opposite to the first rotational movement can drive the unlocked rest position from the first rotational position.
