ABSTRACT:
A remote control rear-view mirror assembly has a bracket mountable on an automotive vehicle and a housing supported on the bracket, in which housing a mirror holder is mounted for universal swiveling movement. The bracket has a shaft extending through a housing bottom plate into the housing and having a plurality of radial cam projections angularly spaced from each other. A fastening means in the housing, having a ring disposed around the shaft has a plurality of cam projections angularly spaced from each other and extending radially inwardly from the annular ring. The cam projections engage each other with the housing bottom plate fastened tightly between the fastening means and the bracket. A cable attachment adapter mounted on the mirror holder has three radial grooves angularly spaced 120 degrees apart from each other. Three control wire elements have ferrules on one end each retained in one of the grooves, the ferrules being prevented from moving out of position by an annular flange on the mirror holder. The mirror holder has a peripheral rim resiliently urged against the peripheral edge of a mirror carried by the mirror holder, the peripheral rim including a flange disposed around and over the peripheral mirror edge. A plurality of resilient arms integral with the mirror holder have projections urged against the mirror to enable the peripheral mirror edge to be held against the peripheral rim flange.
