Abstract

An adjustable accessory mirror for vehicles includes a fastening base, a double-sided adhesive fabric, an adjustable mirror bracket, and an accessory convex mirror wherein the fastening base mount, annular in shape, is provided with a round retaining cavity defining the top surface thereof and an engaging ball protruding at the center of the retaining cavity thereon, and the adjustable mirror bracket, disk-like, has a mirror groove concaved at the top side thereon for the accessory convex mirror to be mounted therein and a spherical ball chamber defined by elastic arc plates protruding at the bottom thereon. Via resilient support of the elastic arc plates thereof, the engaging ball of the fastening base is adapted to the spherical ball chamber of the adjustable mirror bracket in abutting location by the elastic arc plates thereof. Thus, via proper force applied onto the adjustable mirror bracket, the accessory convex mirror is tilted into a slope within a regulated height and rotated into a certain angle without the limitation of stages, facilitating a resistance to wear as well as an easy operation of the present invention. Besides, the adjustable mirror bracket is steplessly tilted and rotated to accurately shift the angle of the accessory convex mirror, providing the best rearview for a driver.

Claims

1. An adjustable accessory mirror for vehicles, including a fastening base, a double-sided adhesive fabric, an adjustable mirror bracket, and an accessory convex mirror wherein the fastening base, annular in shape, is provided with a round retaining cavity defining the top surface thereof, and the adjustable mirror bracket, disk-like, has a mirror groove concaved at the top side thereon for the accessory convex mirror to be mounted therein;

the double-sided adhesive fabric is attached to the bottom side of the fastening base thereby;

the present invention being characterized by that,

the fastening base also includes an engaging ball protruding at the center of the retaining cavity thereon, and the adjustable mirror bracket has a short round column protruding at the bottom thereon wherein a spherical ball chamber is disposed at the inner side of the round column therein and recesses are symmetrically cut at both sides of the round column thereof to form two elastic arc plates defining the ball chamber thereof;

in assembly, via the resilient support of the elastic arc plates thereof, the engaging ball of the fastening base is adapted to the spherical ball chamber of the adjustable mirror bracket therein and located therein in abutment against the elastic arc plates thereof;

thus, via proper force applied onto the adjustable mirror bracket, the accessory convex mirror is able to be tilted into a slope within a regulated height and rotated into a certain angle without the limit of stages, facilitating a resistance to wear as well as an easy operation of the present invention;

besides, the adjustable mirror bracket is steplessly tilted and rotated to accurately shift the angle of the accessory convex mirror, providing the best rearview for a driver.
