Abstract

See full text

A stabilization device for a rear-view mirror of a motor vehicle includes a mirror set (1) having a sleeve (41) incorporated in a support structure (20) of the mirror set (1) and articulated in a pivot post (60) of a base member (70). The device proportions and determines the stabilization of the mirror set through an axially squeezing 'F` force to the pivot post (60) of the mirror set (1). The sleeve has a first indented surface (42) and a second indented surface (43) in the base (70) that is adjacent to the first indented surface (42). The first and second indented surfaces (42, 43) have corresponding profiles to engage one in the other. An axial compression spring (44) disposed about the pivot post (60) presses the sleeve (41) to couple the surface (42) of the mirror set (1) in the indented surface (43) of the base (70). A reaction washer (45), fixed around the pivot post (60), presses against the spring (44). The pivot post (60) has an intermediary radial hole (62). The second indented surface (43) is incorporated in face of a ring (43') having a radial hole (91), through which the pivot post (60) is received. A pin (92) is received through the aligned radial holes (62, 91), fixing the ring (43') about the pivot post (60).
