Abstract

A vehicular side mirror includes a base, supports and a mirror holder. The bas has pivoting portions and locating portions. A locking rod is provided on the locking portions and urged by an elastic element. One end of each support is disposed with a pivoting block pivoted to the pivoting portion of the base. The other end of each support is disposed with a locking block. Locking recesses are disposed on the perimeter of the pivoting block and secured in position by the locking rod of the base. The mirror holder is inserted onto the supports and comprises sliding channels. Both ends of each sliding channel are respectively disposed with a first limit block and a second limit block to restrict sliding movement of the locking block of the support to allow the mirror holder be firmly secured in place when extended or retracted.
