ABSTRACT:
A mirror assembly for a vehicle comprises a housing (12) and a mirror assembly (18, 20) mounted therein. The housing includes attachment means (30, 32, 34, 36) for supporting the mirror (18, 20) in the housing (12). Support means (22) pivotably mounts the mirror assembly (10, 18) to the attachment means (30, 32, 34, 36). The support means (22) includes first and second arm means (40, 42, 44, 46) which mount the support means (22) to the attachment means (30, 32, 34, 36). The first arm means (44, 46) are mounted in tension and the second arm means (40, 42) are mounted in compression. The prestressing of the first and second arm means (40, 42, 44, 46) serves to reduce vibration of the mirror relative to the vehicle and thereby substantially reduce blurring of images on the mirror.
