A rear-view mirror assembly for an off-road vehicle, the rear-view mirror assembly comprising:
- a mirror shell defining a socket;
- and
- a mirror clamp part having a dome connecting surface along a vertical axis and a first engaging surface along a central axis perpendicular to the vertical axis, the first engaging surface including a plurality of first teeth, wherein the dome connecting surface engages with the socket of the mirror shell to allow rotation of the mirror shell about the vertical axis;
- a base support part having a second engaging surface extending along the central axis and a first curvilinear surface opposite to the second engaging surface, the second engaging surface including a plurality of projections angularly spaced from each other about the central axis;
- a disk member having a defining a plurality of channels to receive the projections of the second engaging surface to couple with the base support part, the disk member including a plurality of second teeth engageable with the plurality of first teeth of the first engaging surface to allow rotation of the mirror clamp part about the vertical axis;
- a first tightening mechanism for selectively varying an impact force required to rotate the mirror with respect to mirror clamp part, the first tightening mechanism comprising:
- a first bolt configured to couple the mirror clamp part with the mirror;
- a first locking nut configured to secure the first bolt to the mirror clamp part;
- and
- a first biasing member disposed between the nut and the mirror clamp part to bias the dome connecting surface into engagement with the socket of the mirror, wherein a biasing force of the first biasing member is adjusted by rotating the first locking nut on the first bolt to vary the impact force;
- a second tightening mechanism for selectively varying an impact force required to rotate the mirror claiming member about the horizontal axis, the second tightening mechanism comprising:
- a second bolt configured to couple the mirror clamp part with the disk member and the base support part;
- and
- a second biasing member disposed between the second bolt and the base support part, the second biasing member being configured to bias the plurality of first teeth of the first engaging surface out of the mesh engagement with the plurality of second teeth of the disk member, wherein a biasing force of the second biasing member is adjusted by rotating the second bolt into the second through hole to selectively vary the impact force required to rotate the mirror claiming member about the horizontal axis;
- and
- a frame clamp part configured to be coupled with the base support part, the frame clamp part having a second curvilinear surface facing the first curvilinear surface of the base support part to define an opening for receiving the frame, the frame clamp part being translatable along the central axis with respect to the base support part to change a diameter of the opening for receiving a frame of the off-road vehicle.
