In a camera apparatus, when an installation body is stored and a restriction mechanism of a retractor restricts the rotation of the installation body, the installation body is pressed, a knob of a return mechanism is pressed, and the rotation restriction of an operating body by the restriction mechanism is released by the return mechanism. Therefore, the installation body can be deployed.

Installation apparatus

In this vehicular imaging device, a positive electrode terminal for a heater and a negative electrode terminal for the heater, which are different from a heater film of a cover glass, are integrally formed with a bracket body of a bracket by insert molding. When the cover glass is disposed in the bracket body, a positive electrode side press-contact part of the positive electrode terminal for the heater and a negative electrode side press-contact part of the negative electrode terminal for the heater are brought into press contact with the heater film of the cover glass. Thus, the positive electrode terminal for the heater, the negative electrode terminal for the heater, and the heater film are electrically connected together.

Imaging device for vehicle

A vehicle imaging apparatus includes an imaging device capable of imaging an imaging side thereof; a transparent heater that is provided at least in a range of an angle of view of the imaging device at the imaging side of the imaging device, that generates heat by being energized, and that heats an imaging side of the imaging device; and a resistance member that is provided at an electrical circuit including the heater, and that generates heat by being energized, an electrical resistance value of the resistance member is increased along with increase in temperature of the resistance member due to heat generation such that a current value of current that flows to the heater is decreased.

Vehicle imaging apparatus

At a camera device for a vehicle, a camera images an obverse side of a glass cover via the glass cover. A water repelling film is formed on an obverse side surface of the glass cover. A transparent conductive film of the glass cover generates heat, and the glass cover is heated. Because the transparent conductive film is electrically conductive, electrical resistance of an obverse side surface of the water repelling film can be lowered by the transparent conductive film, and charging of the obverse side surface of the water repelling film can be suppressed.

Camera device

There is provided a camera apparatus, including: a transparent member that transmits light; a camera, at which a lens is provided, the camera performing imaging via the transparent member and the lens; a closing body that closes off a space between the transparent member and the lens; and a vent hole that vents the space.

Camera apparatus

There is provided a mirror device for a vehicle, including: a support body that is fixed to a vehicle body side and supports a mirror of the vehicle; and a covering body that covers an outer periphery of the support body, wherein the covering body includes: a first covering body, mounting of which to the support body by a linear movement is constrained, the mounting of the first covering body to the support body including turning of the first covering body relative to the support body, and a second covering body that is combined with the first covering body.

Mirror device for a vehicle

Deformation of an assembly portion side portion of a rotating portion is suppressed in a rotating mechanism. In a vehicle door mirror device, a case rotates with respect to an assembly portion of a stand on actuation of a stowage mechanism, thereby rotating a bracket and a mirror integrally with the case. The case is housed inside a housing sleeve of the bracket from the lower side. A reinforcement is fixed to the lower side of the case, the reinforcement thereby restricting deformation of a lower side portion of the case. Vibration deformation of the lower side portion of the case due for example to vibration of the vehicle can accordingly be suppressed, enabling the occurrence of chattering of the mirror to be suppressed.

Vehicle mirror device

In a vehicle door mirror device (), an outer side surface (B), with respect to a vehicle, of a projection () of a door mirror stay () is made to be flat. Further, an angle of the outer side surface (B) with respect to a front-rear direction of the vehicle, inward or outward with respect to the vehicle, is not more than 2 degrees. Therefore, wind arriving at the outer side surface (B) flows rearward with respect to the vehicle with fluctuation thereof being suppressed, and its flow is straightened. Furthermore, a radius of curvature of a corner portion (E) at an outer rear side, with respect to the vehicle, of the projection () is not more than 15 mm. Therefore, wind arriving at the outer side surface (B) of the projection () is suppressed from flowing along the corner portion (E), and its flow is straightened. Thus, wind noise performance of the door mirror stay () can be improved. In addition, wind drawn in by the door mirror stay () toward a mirror and toward a side window can be reduced, and impairment of visibility can be suppressed.

The present invention relates to a structure for holding a visor for a door mirror device. In the present invention, a seat is integrally formed at a backside of a visor cover. A clip, which is formed separately from the visor cover, is mounted to the seat. A clip-engaging hole is formed at a frame, and, by engaging the clip with the clip engaging hole, the visor cover can be assembled to the frame.

Structure for holding visor for door mirror device

A wheel cover includes a wheel cover body and a flexible annular member positioned therearound. The wheel cover body is formed in approximately a disk form, and a plurality of a through-holes are formed at the outer periphery thereof. The body of the flexible annular member is formed in a configuration that the inner periphery overlaps the outer periphery of the wheel cover body. On a side of the body, there are formed retaining projections at the position corresponding to the through-holes of the wheel cover body. Each retaining projection has a base portion, an intermediate retainer portion, and an extremity grip portion. The base portion is formed to be engaged with the through-hole. The intermediate retainer portion has a larger cross section than the base portion so as to be constricted to pass through the through-hole when it is pressed into the through-hole and hold the wheel cover body in collaboration with the body when the base portion is engaged in the through-hole. The extremity grip portion has a cross section smaller than that of the through-hole.
