ABSTRACT:
An automobile rearview mirror has a mirror housing having a spherical pivot and a mirror holder having a spherical cavity in which the spherical pivot is rotatably received. The mirror holder comprises a substantially flat panel and an attachment disposed on one side of the panel and defining the spherical cavity therein. The attachment has a gap defined therein radially outwardly of the spherical cavity. A mirror is supported on an opposite side of the panel. The attachment comprises a pair of semicylindrical socket members projecting from the one side of the panel. The semicylindrical socket members have respective inner arcuate walls and respective outer arcuate walls spaced radially outwardly from the inner arcuate walls, respectively. The inner arcuate walls define the spherical cavity therebetween, and the gap is defined between the inner arcuate walls and the outer arcuate walls. The inner arcuate walls are rendered resilient by the gap to allow the spherical pivot to be fitted easily into the spherical cavity. After the spherical pivot has been fitted easily in the spherical cavity, the spherical pivot is stably held therein by the resilient inner arcuate walls.
