Assembly for the hinged connection of a rear view mirror
First Claim
1. Assembly for the hinged connection of a rear view mirror comprising a swivel pin (1) coaxially inserted though a ring-shaped holed element (20) connected to a frame (21) of said mirror, said swivel pin (1) having at a first end (1a) a flange (4) and at a second end (1b) at least a retaining configuration (3) adapted for being fixed on a corresponding retaining configuration (30) of a base (31) connected to a vehicle, an elastic member being arranged between said flange (4) and a support (22) of said holed element (20) acting by compression in a direction parallel to the axis of the swivel pin (1) to secure a contact under pressure between a lower part (23) of the holed element (20) and a seat (32) of said base (31), with the possibility of turning within an angle limited by respective stops, characterized in that said elastic member comprises a hollow cylinder (5) of moulded plastic material arranged as a skirt, from the peripheral edge (4) towards said second end (1b) of the swivel pin (1), coaxially to it, said hollow cylinder (5) being provided with at least an opening (6) having a suitable configuration to provide the hollow cylinder (5) with an elastic property, and said at least one opening (6) defining in the hollow cylinder (5) at least one helical strip (7).

Abstract
It comprises a swivel pin (1) coaxially inserted through a holed element connected to the frame of said mirror, said swivel pin having at a first end (1a) a flange (4) and at a second end (1b) at least a retaining configuration (3) adapted for being fixed on a corresponding retaining configuration of a base connected to a vehicle, an elastic member being arranged between said flange (4) and a support of said holed element. Said elastic member comprises a hollow cylinder (5) of moulded plastic material arranged as a skirt, from the peripheral edge (4) towards said second end (1b) of the swivel pin (1), coaxially to it, said hollow cylinder (5) being provided with at least one opening (6) defining at least one helical strip (7) suitable to provide the hollow cylinder (5) with an elastic property.
