Abstract
An automobile mirror assembly in which a value of resistance of a rotary variable resistor with an actuator that is driven to rotate by a mirror push-pull operation shaft being moved in its axial direction at time of adjusting a posture of a mirror in the assembly, varies generally linearly when the mirror push-pull operation shaft moves linearly in the axial direction. The mirror push-pull operation shaft has a flat rear end face, and the actuator has one end that forms arc-shaped in which the flat rear end face thereof contacts the one end thereof, and in which the other end of the actuator is fixed to a rotation shaft of the rotary variable resistor. The arc of the arc-shaped one end of the actuator is included within a revolving plane within which the actuator is rotated.
