Said rocking element is rotatably mounted in the housing () about a second axis () and the slide () is rotatably mounted on the rocking element () about a third axis (), the movement of the slide () between a rest position (A) and an operating position (B) being at least to some extent defined by a housing guide () of the housing ().

Device for holding a camera having a slotted guide

The invention relates to a rear trim strip for a motor vehicle, having at least one base support and at least one luminous body which is arranged on an opening of the base support in order to illuminate the outer area of the motor vehicle, having an actuating element arranged on the base support, wherein a switch can be actuated by means of said actuating element, whereby it is possible to activate a lock on the motor vehicle, such that a lid is attached on the base support, the lid is designed having an electronics board which projects into the base support, wherein an electronic device, including the switch, is arranged on said electronics board, and the lid is designed in such a manner that a reliable transmission of force takes place through the electronics board when the actuating element is actuated.

Rear trim strip for a motor vehicle, and a method for the production of a rear trim strip

The invention relates to a device () with a carrier element () on which a camera unit (), which serves for acquiring images in the exterior region of a motor vehicle, is arranged, and with at least one drive mechanism () for the camera unit (), said drive mechanism serving to move the camera unit () to and fro between an inoperative position () and an image acquisition position (Ib), wherein the drive mechanism () is arranged on the carrier element () in order to hold the camera unit () movably, and wherein the carrier element () has an opening () on the front side, through which images can be acquired at least in the image acquisition position (Ib) for the camera unit (), and with at least one gap () on the front side between the opening () on the front side in the carrier element () and the camera unit () in order to be able to transfer the camera unit () into the image acquisition position (Ib). The invention is likewise directed towards a method for actuating the device according to the invention.

Sealed device for a camera

The invention relates to a device () for holding a camera () which serves in particular as a parking assistance device for a motor vehicle, comprising a slide () to which the camera () can be replaceably secured, a housing () in which the slide () is movably accommodated in a first guide () between a rest position (A) in which the camera () is inactive, and an operating position (B) in which images can be actively detected by the camera (), and a cover element () that closes an opening () in the housing () through which the camera () is oriented towards the exterior. The cover element () is pivotally connected to the slide () and movably mounted in a second guide () in the housing () between a closed position (C) in which the cover element () covers the opening (), and an open position (D) in which the cover element () releases the opening (). The device () further comprises a mechanism () which drives the slide () by means of an external drive such between the reset position (A) and the operating position (B) that the cover element () carries out at least one first displacement phase (I) and a second displacement phase (II) between the closed position (C) and the open position (D).

Device for holding a camera having a linear guide

A device for a motor vehicle has a camera unit, which can be brought into an inactive position and an active position includes a protective element, which can be guided into a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the camera unit is in its inactive position behind the protective element, where it is inaccessible from the outside. In the open position, the camera unit is in its active position for image acquisition. The device further includes a drive unit for moving the camera unit and the protective element, wherein the camera unit and protective element are movably hinged to each other. A vehicle, particularly a motor vehicle, could be equipped with such a device.

Simplified device of a camera unit of a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a device comprising a camera unit (), which is used to record images of the outer area of a motor vehicle, comprising a camera (), which is accommodated in a housing () of the camera unit () so as to be movable between a retracted position and an image recording position. According to the invention, at least one first slotted guide () is provided for guiding the motion of the camera () between the retracted position and the image recording position, wherein at least one sliding element () is arranged on the camera (), which sliding element is guided in the slotted guide () to guide the motion of the camera () between the retracted position and the image recording position.

Device having a camera unit for recording images of the outer area of a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a device () for a motor vehicle, comprising a movably mounted camera unit (), which can be brought into an idle position (A) and an active position (B) by means of a drive unit (), and to a protection element (), which can be transferred into a closed position and an open position, wherein the camera unit () is located in the idle position thereof inaccessible from the outside behind the protection element () when the protection element () is in the closed position and the camera unit () is located in the active position for image acquisition when the protection element () is in the open position wherein the camera unit () is arranged on a movably mounted pivot arm (), which connects the drive unit () to the protection element (), wherein a movement of the pivot arm () triggered by the drive unit () can transfer the protection element () into the closed position and open position and the camera unit () into the idle position and the active position. The invention further relates to a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, comprising such a device.

Device for a motor vehicle comprising a movably mounted camera unit and motor vehicle

The invention relates to a latch which must enable the locked mobile part () of a motor vehicle body to be released if necessary by means of a key-actuated closing cylinder (), in order to manually open the mobile part (). A handle () is provided on the mobile part () for the opening of the same (), said handle being able to pivot in a vertical plane in relation to the vehicle body. When the handle is in its closed position (), it is essentially flush with the vehicle body. In the outwardly pivoted open position, the handle can be gripped by a hand, also enabling the closing cylinder () to be accessed by the key. In order to provide the latch with a compact design, the handle () is embodied as a carrier for the closing cylinder () and forms a pivotable arrangement () therewith. A rotary coupling member () which can be actuated by the closing cylinder () is located on said arrangement () and participates in the pivoting movement. A rotary coupling counter-member () is located on a defined region of the mobile part () and acts on the lock. In the closed position () of the arrangement (), the rotary coupling member () is decoupled from the rotary coupling counter-member (), but in the open position, is in a coupling position which enables the transfer of torque.
