A mirror extension arm for a wide-load truck is an apparatus that allows a driver of the wide-load truck to have a wider peripheral vision range and eliminates blind spots. The apparatus includes an extension tube, a slide bar, a mounting spindle, at least one locking clamp, and a fastening mechanism. The extension bar and the slide bar offset a secondary side mirror from a corresponding side of the wide-load truck. The secondary side mirror is preferably positioned beside an existing side mirror. The extension bar connects with a bracket of the existing side mirror, and the slide bar varies the distance of the secondary side mirror and existing side mirror. The mounting spindle upholds the secondary side mirror. The at least one locking clamp attaches the extension bar with the bracket of the existing side mirror. The fastening mechanism locks the slide bar along the extension tube.

A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head and a mounting base, with the mirror head having a mirror casing and a reflective element, and with the mounting base configured for attachment at a vehicle. A camera module is disposed at the mirror head and includes a camera having a field of view and operable to capture image data. The camera module is extendable and retractable relative to the mirror casing. With the camera module retracted, the camera module is oriented such that the field of view of the camera encompasses a blind spot region at least at the body side of the vehicle. With the camera module retracted, an inboard limit of the field of view of the camera partially overlaps an outboard limit of a field of view provided to a driver of the vehicle by the reflective element.

Disclosed herein is an assembly for a side view mirror for a vehicle. The assembly comprises two arm members which are configured to receive a side view mirror thereat and a joining member for joining the arm members. The joining member comprises two sleeves, where each sleeve projects from a respective arm member and comprises an interlocking profile at a distal end thereof. The assembly also comprises a tightener configured for receipt through the sleeves when the sleeves are in an aligned configuration. Tightening the tightener draws the interlocking profiles of the aligned sleeves into engagement, whereby the arm members become rigidly joined.

The present disclosure relates to a device for folding in a camera on a motor vehicle in order to protect the device in the event of a collision with an obstacle. The device has a first housing element, in which the camera is received. The device has a second housing element, which is constructed to be connected to the motor vehicle in a positionally fixed manner. The first housing element and the second housing element are pivotably connected to each other by means of a first pivot connection, which defines a first rotation axis, and a second pivot connection, which defines a second rotation axis which is spaced apart from the first rotation axis.

An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror head and a mounting base, with a camera module disposed at the mirror head. The camera module includes a camera having a field of view exterior of the vehicle when the mirror assembly is attached at the vehicle. The camera module is extendable and retractable relative to a mirror casing of the mirror head. With the camera module retracted and with the mirror assembly attached at the vehicle, the camera module is oriented such that its field of view encompasses a blind spot region at least at the body side of the vehicle. With the camera module extended and with the mirror assembly attached at the vehicle, the camera module may be oriented such that its field of view encompasses a region at least along a body side of a trailer being towed by the vehicle.

The description relates to a bearing assembly for rotatably or pivotally connecting a first (4) and a second (6) component to each other, wherein the two components (4, 6) are connected by a connecting element (8) disposed to be coaxial to a rotary or pivot axis (A); each of the two components (4, 6) comprises at least one first contact zone (10.4, 10.6), the contact zones (10.4, 10.6) having first abutment faces (12.4, 12.6) which are complementary with respect to each other; the respective first abutment faces (12.4, 12.6) being urged towards each other with an elastic preload force by a biasing part; and a latching geometry acting as a first latching means (14) being arranged between the first abutment faces (12.4, 12.6). Each of the two components (4, 6) has at least one second contact zone (18.4, 18.6).

A position adjustment device for a vehicle rearview mirror adjusts the linear distance between the rearview mirror and the vehicle body to which the rearview mirror is configured. A driver may use the position adjustment device to adjust a visibility range according to driving needs. The position adjustment device includes a mounting unit and a length adjusting unit. The mounting unit is used to combine together with a vehicle body. The length adjusting unit has an end coupled with the mounting unit by a combining unit and an opposing end combined with a vehicle rearview mirror by a joining unit.
