Abstract
A vehicle equipment part having a base fixed to the bodywork and pivot part pivotable relative to the base about an axis, which pivot part can be locked in one pivot direction by a free-wheel device having a clamping member. The clamping member is arranged in a wedge-shaped clamping gap radially between a first counter-surface formed by a wedge structure fixed to the base and a circular cylindrical second counter-surface associated with the pivot part and is movable between a blocking position and a release position. The clamping member has a first contact surface, which faces the first counter-surface, and a second contact surface, which faces the second counter-surface. The second counter-surface is formed with a structure which is V-shaped in radial section and extends at least partly in the circumferential direction coaxially with the pivot axis and which is in the form of a recess or a projection, and the second contact surface is formed by a complementary structure.
