ABSTRACT:
A visor/mirror assembly comprising a visor subassembly having a visor, and a vanity mirror subassembly mounted to the visor. The vanity mirror subassembly comprises a mirror supported by a mirror frame on the visor, and a mirror cover hingedly mounted to the mirror frame for swinging between a closed position and an open position with respect to the mirror. A locking mechanism normally holds the mirror cover in the closed position against the force of a spring energizing the mirror cover toward the open position. Connected between the mirror frame and the mirror cover is a fluid damper which acts in opposition to the force of the spring for retarding the pivotal displacement of the mirror cover from the closed to the open position when the mirror cover is unlocked by finger pressure on the locking mechanism. With its momentum so reduced, the mirror cover comes to rest in the open position without shock or noise.
