A hinge assembly is disclosed for application in pivotable or rotatable vehicle accessories, such as visors, vanity covers, storage covers, or other vehicular or non-vehicular applications. A preferred, one-piece resilient sleeve member frictionally engages a preferably compact pivot rod and retains the rotated member in any of a number of pre-adjusted pivoted positions, while still providing for one or more positive, predetermined detent positions.
