Abstract: An anti-glare inside rearview mirror assembly for use in a motor vehicle includes a support having one end fixed to a motor vehicle body and including a spherical body on the other end, a bracket having a recess engaging at least a portion of the spherical body, a clamping member for clamping the spherical body in cooperation with the bracket, a housing accommodating the bracket therein, the housing having an upper wall, a lower wall, an open front wall, and a rear wall, a mirror mounted in the open front wall of the housing, and an angle adjusting member for adjusting the angle of the housing with respect to the bracket. A tool such as a screwdriver may be easily inserted through a hole defined in the lower wall of the housing to adjust the force with which the spherical body is clamped by the clamping member in cooperation with the bracket.

Abstract: An inside rearview mirror assembly for use in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle includes a base, a stay detachably mounted on the base, and a mirror unit supported on the stay. The base and the stay have respective joint surfaces intimately contacting each other, partly spherical interfitting projections and dimples formed respectively on front ends of the joint surfaces, and non-contact surfaces disposed forwardly of the projections and dimples and providing a gap between the stay and the base. When the mirror unit is subjected to an impact, the stay is angularly moved forwardly about the projections and dimples, and detached from the base.
