For observing lateral areas of a motor vehicle, a camera is inserted into an existing cavity of a mirror base. The camera is clampingly held between a holding cage and a covering cap. An opening for a camera lens is provided in the covering cap. Through the camera lens opening, the lateral vehicle areas can be observed and displayed in an indicating device of an inside rearview mirror.

Observation device for side regions of a motor vehicle

A deflection fitting for seat belts of vehicles, particularly motor vehicles, is held in position via a fastening screw. A head section of the fastening screw and at least a partial area of the deflection fitting is covered by a cap in the direction of the occupant compartment. In the event of a head impact of a vehicle occupant onto the deflection fitting or onto the head section of the fastening screw, the risk of injury is reduced by a hollow-body-shaped deformation element disposed between the fastening screw and the cap, which is made of thin-wall sheet metal.
