socket joint device, fixing device and visual indirect system for vehicles

摘要

socket joint device, clamping device and indirect visual system for vehicles. A socket joint device is provided which has a low installation height and a reasonably small installation volume. in addition, a clamping device having such a socket joint device and an indirect visual system having such a clamping device are provided. The socket gasket includes a first and a second gasket member (2,6). The first joint component (2) has a spherical surface element (10) with a convex or concave exterior (11). the exterior (11) of the spherical surface element (10) is part of a spherical surface. a coupling mechanism (14) engages the spherical surface element (10), so that the coupling mechanism (14) and the spherical surface element (10) contact each other through a first contact surface (22). ). a cap-shaped spherical receptacle (24) on the first or second joint member (2, 6) and an associated convex ball cap (26) on the other respective joint member results in a second contact surface (28) having a radius of curvature r2 less than the radius of curvature r1 of the spherical surface element (10). High adjustment torques can be transmitted by the two contact surfaces (22, 28) in a reasonably small installation space.
