Abstract: A mirror assembly system for use in automotive vehicles is provided. In one embodiment of the presented invention, a first connecting member has the form of a tubular flange member, with a first contact surface and a first groove being provided inside the flange member. A second connecting member is adapted to be introduced with play into the tubular flange member, with the second connecting member comprising a base body. On the base body a first retaining boss for engagement in the first groove and a guide surface arranged behind the retaining boss are provided, with the guide surface being associated to the first contact surface. A clamping device passes through the flange member and, when actuated, presses against a first pressure surface on the base body so that the inclined guide surface presses against the first contact surface, to thus jam the mounting member inside the flange member.

Abstract: A system for connecting two components in a vehicle mirror assembly is provided A first connecting member includes a tubular flange member, with a first contact surface and a first groove being provided inside the flange member. A second connecting member includes a mounting member adapted to be introduced with play into the tubular flange member, with the mounting member comprising a base body. On the base body a first retaining boss for engagement in the first groove and a guide surface arranged behind the retaining boss are provided, with the guide surface being associated to the first contact surface and inclined relative to the latter. A clamping means passes through the flange member and, when actuated, presses against a first pressure surface on the base body so that the inclined guide surface presses against the first contact surface, to thus jam the mounting member inside the flange member.

Abstract: The invention is a mirror arrangement for commercial vehicles. The mirror arrangement comprises a mirror foot adapted for permanent attachment to an associated commercial vehicle and a mirror head attached to the mirror foot. The mirror head comprises a housing, a mirror pane carried by the housing for providing a view of the area behind the mirror arrangement, and a connector disposed between the mirror foot and the mirror head for connecting the mirror foot to the mirror head. The mirror foot comprises a support arm disposed between the connector and an associated vehicle for providing support to the mirror arrangement. The mirror foot also comprises a mounting bracket adapted for permanent attachment to an associated vehicle.
