  • Patent number: 4575203
    Abstract: A mirror vibration absorber for mirror assemblies mounted on motor vehicles comprises a ballast absorbing the vibration of the mirror assembly and disposed either inside or outside thereof. The position and weight of the ballast can be adjusted to the specific vibration frequency of the mirror assembly. The adjustment of the ballast position is made either by moving the adjustment of rods secured to the ballast relative to the mirror assembly or by moving the ballast relative to the adjustment rod. The ballast absorbs the mirror vibration and thereby reduces the need for reenforcing mounting hardware and braces.
