A spring-loaded hinge assembly is adapted for use in pivotally interconnected components, such as hinged or pivotal components in accessory assemblies in vehicle applications. The hinge assembly provides for at least a pair of predetermined relative rotational orientations, or detented positions, of the pivotally interconnected components. Each of these detented positions is independently controlled by separate and distinct spring-and-cam arrangements, such that the rotational efforts, and consequently the detent holding forces, can be different from one another, if desired in a given application. The hinge assembly is especially advantageous in covered vanity assemblies on automotive sunvisors, for example.
