Abstract
A is a pivot connection and detent mechanism for a vehicle mirror (10) comprising: a mounting bracket (14) that is attached to a motor vehicle having at least one pivot connection member a mirror assembly (11) including a mirror and at least one pivot connection for pivotal connection to the pivot connection member or members of the mounting bracket to allow angular movement of the mirror assembly (11) with respect to the mounting bracket (14), at least one detent recess (30) on at least one of the pivot connection members of either the mounting bracket (14) or the mirror assembly (11), a resilient arm held at its first end with respect to the pivot connection member that connects to the other pivot connection member with the detent recess (30), and a detent member (30) located at the second end of the resilient arm (40). The detent member (44) is positioned so that it engages the detent recess (30) to hold the mirror assembly (11) with respect to the mounting bracket (14). The resilient arm (40) is resiliently movable to allow the detent member (44) to disengage the detent recess (30) upon sufficient force being applied to the mirror assembly (11) to in turn allow the mirror assembly (11) to be rotated to a different position.
