Abstract: A retaining apparatus (H) for retaining a room accessory such as a mirror assembly (4) comprises a base (1), a linear spring (2), and a base inner (3). The linear spring (2) includes linear parts (21) and a curved part (22), which are connected together with hairpin parts (23). A base (1) is attached between the linear parts (21) while a flange (39) provided at the base inner (3) is attached inside the curved part (22). The flange (39) is provided at a socket (38). A pivot (52) of a stay 5 of the mirror assembly (4) is pressed into the socket (38).

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an anti-glare rearview mirror is disclosed. An anti-glare rearview mirror has a rectangular bracket and a control lever meshed with the bracket in order to change an angle of a mirror. In manufacturing this rear view mirror, the bracket and the control lever are molded in such a manner that a runner integrally connects the bracket and the control lever without interfering movement of the bracket or the control lever of the assembled anti-glare rearview mirror. And a worker separates the bracket and the control lever at the runner with his hands. Next the worker assembles the bracket and the control lever to a mirror housing without removing a remaining part of the runner.
