Modular pivot arrangement

摘要

A pivot assembly ( 10 ) adapted to connect a mirror head ( 11 ) and a mirror mounting bracket ( 12 ) of a rear vision mirror assembly. The pivot assembly ( 10 ) has a spigot extending from a spigot plate ( 40 ), a plate ( 35 ) journalled to the spigot and a detent arrangement between the plate ( 35 ) and spigot. An attachment arrangement on both the spigot plate ( 40 ) and plate ( 35 ) allows the spigot plate ( 40 ) to be secured to either one of the mirror head ( 11 ) or the mirror mounting bracket ( 12 ). The attachment arrangement also allows the plate ( 35 ) to be secured to the other of the mirror head ( 11 ) or the mirror ounting bracket ( 12 ). A stop means associated with the spigot and adapted to engage with a stop arrangement on either the mirror head ( 11 ) or the mirror mounting bracket ( 12 ) limits rotation of the mirror head ( 11 ) with respect to the mirror mounting bracket ( 12 ).
