ABSTRACT:
A rear view mirror coupling assembly includes a glass carrier for supporting a mirror and including a spherical projection having a first spherical surface and a second spherical surface, a mirror drive housing including a mirror drive mechanism and including a spherical recess having a first surface, a spherical shell disposed between and in contact with the spherical projection and the spherical recess, the spherical shell having a first spherical surface contacting the second spherical surface of the spherical projection and a second spherical surface contacting the first surface of the spherical recess, a threaded bolt having a distal end and a head including a spherical underside surface in contact with the first spherical surface of the glass carrier, a threaded nut threaded onto the distal end of the threaded bolt to secure the glass carrier, the spherical shell, and the mirror drive housing together, and a spring element tensioned by the nut for urging the glass carrier, the spherical shell, and the mirror drive housing together, each of the contacting spherical surfaces being movable along at least one axis relative to the respective contacting spherical surface to provide adjustment of the glass carrier relative to the mirror drive housing.
