Mirror mounting structure with offset increasing angular adjustment

A mirror mount for forming a double ball-and-socket connection for adjustably supporting a vehicle rearview mirror, comprising:

• a mirror-head-attached mount component including a washer-like base with a flat surface defining an attachment plane, a locator on the washer-like base for orienting the mount component during attachment of the mount component to a mirror head such that the flat surface is in facing engagement with at least a part of the mirror head, a first stem extending from a side of the washer-like base opposite the attachment plane, and a first ball section on an end of the first stem;
• the first ball section being larger in diameter than the first stem and defining a first circumferential circular clearance area around the first stem at a bottom of the first ball section;
• the first ball section defining a first center point;
• a window-attached mount component including a second base defining a planar side configured for attachment to a window-attached anchor, a second stem extending from the second base opposite the planar side, and a second ball section on an end of the second stem;
• the second ball section being larger in diameter than the second stem and defining a second circumferential circular clearance area around the second stem at a bottom of the second ball section;
• the second ball section defining a second center point;
• the second base, the second stem and the second ball section being formed by solid and continuous material;
• and
• a connector including a tube section extending between the first and second ball sections and including first and second socket-defining components that adjustably angularly engage the first and second ball sections, respectively, to define adjustable first and second ball-and-socket connections;
• the center points of the first and second ball sections defining a first distance that is less than a second perpendicular distance between the planar side and a plane parallel thereto and passing through the second center point of the second ball section, the first and second circumferential circular clearance areas being shaped to receive ends of the tube section to maintain maximum angular adjustability, whereby a multi-axial angular adjustability provided by the first and second ball-and-socket connections is maintained while stability and strength provided by the solid and continuous material forming the second distance on the window-attached mount component is maintained.
