Abstract
A device for mounting a support and articulation arm of a sun-glare shield of a vehicle in which the sun-glare shield is engaged in a horizontal aperture of a bearing and in an orifice of a pull-rod member which is elastically biased upwardly. This pull-rod is guided in a support fixed to the roof of the vehicle. The support may be fixed to the roof so as to be downwardly detachable by means of an elastically expansible ring acted upon by a push-member. The latter is guided by the support and is acted upon by the upper surface of the bearing.
Claims11
A device for mounting a support and articulation arm of a sun-glare shield of a vehicle, the device comprising a support for detachably fixing on a roof element of the vehicle in alignment with an opening in said roof element, the support defining a substantially verticle first aperture, a bearing defining a substantially vertical second aperture which is coaxial with the first aperture and a substantially horizontal third aperture for receiving the arm for rotation of the arm in the second aperture, the second and third apertures intersecting each other, a pull-rod defining a substantially horizontal orifice for the passage of the arm and engaged in the first and second apertures so as to rotatively mount the bearing on the support, and elastically yieldable means interposed between the support and the pull-rod and biasing the pull-rod upwardly for angularly positioning said bearing in at least one position relative to said support comprising at least one projection on said bearing and said cavity means on a support engageable by said projection.
