  • Device for mounting an inside rear-view mirror in a vehicle, and vehicle comprising such a mounting arrangement
    Patent number: 11590894
    Abstract: An arrangement for mounting an inside rearview mirror in a vehicle. The inside rearview mirror has a mirror head that is adjustably mounted, by the agency of a mirror base, on a base plate permanently attached to the vehicle. The mirror base is mounted on the base plate through a first support point so as to be pivotable about a vehicle transverse axis and also through a second, detachable rear support point. The first support point is formed by two bearing side pieces of the base plate. Each of the bearing side pieces has a bearing eye in which the mirror base is mounted by means of bearing axle(s) so as to be pivotable about a vehicle transverse axis. At least one bearing side piece is designed to be slotted toward and transversely to the central axis of the bearing eye for installation of the relevant bearing axle.
