A fastening construction, in particular for a wing mirror unit of a motor vehicle, comprising a base part (1) which can be fixedly connected with a vehicle, and a rotation part (3) which is arranged to be coupled with the base part (1) and which in coupled condition constitutes a central shaft for pivotally bearing-mounting a wing mirror unit. The base part (1) and the rotation part (3) are provided with at least one projection and groove pair (19, 20) cooperating as a bayonet catch, such that the rotation part (3) can be displaced towards the base part (1) and that when the projection and groove pair are in engagement, the rotation part (3) is pivotable about the geometric axis (2), and, after passing an intermediate angular position (13), through cooperation of the projection and groove pair (19, 20), the rotation part (3) is locked relative to the base part (1), axially along the geometric axis (2). The rotation part (3) and the base part (1) are further provided with blocking means (4, 6) which in a second angular position (5b) restrain the rotation part (3) from rotation relative to the base part (1) about the geometric axis (2).
A fastening construction supports a wing mirror unit of an exterior vehicle, the fastening construction comprising a base part which is configured to be fixedly connected with said exterior vehicle, and a rotation part which is arranged to be coupled with the base part and wherein the rotation part is a central shaft for pivotally bearing-mounting a housing of a wing mirror unit, wherein the base part and the rotation part are provided with at least one projection and groove pair cooperating as a bayonet catch, such that in a first angular position of the rotation part relative to the base part, the rotation part, for the purpose of coupling, can be displaced along a geometric axis in an insertion direction towards the base part to bring the projection and groove pair into engagement and that when the projection and groove pair are in engagement, the rotation part is pivotable about the geometric axis from the first angular position to a second angular position, and wherein, after passing an intermediate angular position, through cooperation of the projection and groove pair, the rotation part is locked relative to the base part, axially along the geometric axis, at least in a direction opposite to the insertion direction, and that the rotation part and the base part are further provided with cooperating blocking member which in the second angular position restrain the rotation part from rotation relative to the base part about the geometric axis, wherein the cooperating blocking member comprise a blocking part which cooperates with a stop provided at a point corresponding to the second angular position,
A wing mirror unit for a motor vehicle, comprising a housing with a mirror glass, further comprising a base part which is configured to be connected with an exterior portion of said motor vehicle, and a rotation part which is arranged to be coupled with the base part and which in and wherein the rotation part is a central shaft for the housing which is pivotable about the rotation part, while the base part and the rotation part are provided with at least one projection and groove pair cooperating as a bayonet catch, such that in a first angular position of the rotation part relative to the base part, the rotation part for the purpose of coupling, can be displaced along a geometric axis in an insertion direction towards the base part to bring the projection and groove pair into engagement and that when the projection and groove pair are in engagement, the rotation part is pivotable about the geometric axis from the first angular position to a second angular position, and wherein, after passing an intermediate angular position, through cooperation of the projection and groove pair, the rotation part is locked relative to the base part, axially along the geometric axis, at least in a direction opposite to the insertion direction, and wherein the rotation part and the base part are further provided with cooperating blocking member which in the second angular position restrain the rotation part from rotation relative to the base part about the geometric axis, wherein the cooperating blocking member comprise a blocking part which cooperates with a stop on the base part,
