Abstract
A vanity mirror assembly has a protective cover (7) which pivots with respect to a mirror frame (6) by virtue of a hinge arrangement consisting of a pivot arm (8), attached to the cover (7), snap-fitted to a pivot axle 14, attached to the frame (6). The cover (7) can be positioned and held in either a closed position, totally covering the mirror, or in one or more predetermined open positions. The cover is held in place by a band-type spring acting against a cam surface located on the pivot arm (8).
