A carrier device for attachment to a pane of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The carrier device has a base plate which is able to be secured to the pane, on which base plate a carrier arrangement is formed to hold a housing of at least one camera. The carrier arrangement includes at least one holding element having at least one spring element which is designed to apply pressure to a rod-shaped component which is arranged on the housing of the camera and which protrudes beyond a wall of the housing, the pressure acting in the direction towards the second side of the base plate. A pane of a motor vehicle on which such a carrier device is placed is also disclosed.

A holder to fasten a component to a glass pane is disclosed. The holder includes a supporting body with a lower side, where the supporting body is adhereable to the glass pane by the lower side, and an upper side, where a holding element is included on the upper side and where the component is fastenable to the supporting body with the holding element. A first section of the supporting body which includes the holding element is separated from a remaining portion of the supporting body along a first slot and a second slot, where both the first slot and the second slot each begin at an outer edge of the supporting body and each end at a connection region at a distance from the outer edge, and where the first section of the supporting body is connected to the remaining portion of the supporting body by the connection region.

A fastening arrangement of a sensor element, in particular a camera, on a fastening element of a motor vehicle involves holding the sensor element on a holding element of the fastening element by means of a force generated by a spring region of a spring element and orientated in one direction. The spring element has a second spring region connected at least indirectly to the first spring region and running at angle to the first spring region, which the sensor element adjoins in a second direction that runs at an angle to the first direction.

A holder to fasten at least one component to a glass pane, in particular to a windscreen of a motor vehicle, is disclosed. The holder has a supporting body, which has a lower side, with which the supporting body is able to be adhered to the glass pane by adhesion, and an upper side, on which the holding elements are arranged to fasten the at least one component to the supporting body. A simplified installation results if a first section of the supporting body, which is provided to fasten at least one component, is separated from the remaining supporting body along two separate slots, where both slots begin at an outer edge of the supporting body and end at a connection region at a distance from the outer edge, via which the first section is connected to the remaining supporting body.

A sensor-mirror arrangement on a windshield of a motor vehicle with an optical sensor that is fastened on the windshield in an edge region arranged between a free field of vision of the windshield and vehicle roof, and with an inside rearview mirror that is fastened using a mirror mounting in an upper edge region between the sensor and the vehicle roof. The mirror mounting has a first fastening element that interacts with a complementary second fastening element for fastening the inside rearview mirror, which is constructed with a mirror base of the inside rearview mirror. The mirror mounting moreover has a pedestal fastened on the windshield on its side facing away from the windshield the first fastening element is formed. The pedestal is dimensioned so that the mirror base fastened to the mirror holding has a predetermined distance from the windshield, which is greater that a minimum distance if need be required for the installation and/or function of the mirror base.

A method and apparatus are provided for adhesive bonding of a backing plate for a sensor assembly to a vehicle window, especially a windscreen of a passenger car or truck. The backing plate has an adhesive layer and is heated at least in the area of the adhesive layer by a heating device until the adhesive layer is softened sufficiently to carry out adhesive bonding. The backing plate is transferred into a contact pressure device and the contact pressure device presses the backing plate with the adhesive layer on to the vehicle window for a predetermined length of time. In order to improve the usability of such a method in the context of mass production, it is provided that the heating device emits infrared radiation, heating of the adhesive layer being carried out until it has softened sufficiently by positioning the backing plate with the adhesive layer facing the heating device at a close spacing for a predetermined length of time.

A sensing system for the detection and analysis of light and/or rain conditions affecting the vehicle has a mounting which can be installed within the scope of an assembly line production. The sensing system has a light sensor and a light sensor control unit and/or a rain sensor and a rain sensor control unit and a common carrier plate on which the light sensor with the light sensor control unit as well as the rain sensor with the rain sensor control unit can be mounted.

Arrangement for the vehicle-fixed holding of control units in a motor vehicle. An electronic control unit carrier component is constructed as an essentially flatly designed sheet metal stamping. The control unit receiving areas are in each case arranged side-by-side on a top side as well as on a bottom side of the sheet metal stamping.

A seat-contact switch for generating a 'seat occupied' signal is combined into a compact constructional unit with an axially resilient actuating device, which extends in a straight line between the seat suspension and the seat frame and which automatically compensates for elastic and permanent deformation or settling phenomena of the seat suspension resulting in a reduction of its unloaded length and which utilizes an adjusting screw connected between the seat and seat frame which screw causes adjustment of the point of make-break contact for the 'seat occupied' signal.
