Combined mirror and mounting assembly

Mirror mounting assembly

A mirror mounting assembly for attaching a mirror mounting bar to a vehicle includes a bracket for attachment to the vehicle and a connector for attachment to the mounting bar. A first detent piece is non-rotatably mounted to the bracket and includes a contact surface defining alternating radial grooves and ridges, the first detent piece also including at least one shoulder. A second detent piece is non-rotatably mounted to the connector and includes a contact surface defining alternating radial grooves and ridges, the contact surface of the second detent piece contacting the contact surface of the first detent piece, the grooves and ridges of each of the first and second detent pieces matingly engageable with the ridges and grooves of the other of the first and second detent pieces in at least two orientations, the second detent piece also including at least one stop for contacting the shoulder of the first detent piece to preclude relative rotational movement between the first detent piece and the second detent piece in a given rotational direction. A spring-loaded axle extends through the bracket, the connector, the first detent piece, and the second detent piece for urging together the first detent piece and the second detent piece.
