The invention relates to a camera device (), particularly as a parking assistance apparatus for a motor vehicle with

Camera device

A camera assembly of a motor vehicle includes a carrier which is adapted to be fastened to the motor vehicle and a camera unit which is immovably fastened to the carrier and has an objective. A cleaning unit is supported on the carrier and is connected to a fluid line that conducts a cleaning fluid which is used to clean the objective. A flap element is provided which is adapted to be moved into a cleaning position and into a resting position. The flap element is retracted in an accommodating chamber of the carrier in the resting position and is extended out of the accommodating chamber so that the flap element covers the objective of the camera unit in the cleaning position.

Camera assembly of a motor vehicle

A device for capturing images of the outer area of a motor vehicle includes a camera, a carrier, a cover and a movement element. The movement element is rotatably mounted on a first rotational axis of the carrier and a transmission element is rotatably mounted on a second rotational axis of the carrier. The transmission element is integrally molded onto the cover. The movement element and the transmission element are connected to one another via a cover connection. When the movement element moves from a standby position into an intermediate position, the cover is moved from a closed position into an open position. The movement element and the camera are connected to one another via a camera connection. Movement of the movement element from the intermediate position into an operating position keeps the cover in the open position and moves the camera from a rest position into an active position.

Device for capturing images of an outer area of a motor vehicle

A camera device () is provided and includes a drive unit () connected via a transmission mechanism to a carriage (). The carriage () mechanically holds a camera () and can move the carriage () together with the camera () at least between a standby position () and a recording position () along a movement direction (). The carriage () is movably arranged in a housing () by at least one guide (). A movable cover () can close an opening () in the housing () in a closed position when the camera () assumes its standby position (). A switch element () can trigger a signal for a vehicle-specific function. In the closed position (), a manual pressure () on the cover () causes movement of the carriage () with the camera (), which can switch the camera from its standby position () into an auxiliary position ().

Camera device for triggering a vehicle specific function

A device having a camera unit for recording images of the exterior of a motor vehicle, includes a support assembly accommodating the camera unit which is movable between a standby position and an active position, a cover element and a movement mechanism. The movement mechanism includes a first pivot element, which is pivotably supported on the support assembly such that it can pivot about a first rotational axle, and which is connected to a first articulation axle of the camera unit in an articulated manner, a second pivot element, which is pivotably supported on the support assembly, such that it can pivot about a second rotational axle, and which is connected to a second articulation axle of the camera unit, and a third pivot element, which is pivotably supported on the support assembly such that it can pivot about the first rotational axle, and which is connected to the cover element.

Device having a camera unit and a cover element

The invention relates to a modular unit () comprising a sensor device () for actuating a movable part (), in particular a flap () of a motor vehicle. Said unit comprises a support element (), on which the sensor device () comprising at least one sensor () is situated, in order to detect () an object () in a detection region () that borders the motor vehicle (), the detection operation () initiating the actuation of the movable part (). According to the invention, the modular unit () is designed as an individual module () that is easily fitted in such a way that said unit () can be fixed to the motor vehicle ().

Sensor device and modular unit therefor

The invention relates to a switch for a door, a flap or a door handle of a motor vehicle, having a base body with a receptacle; a first contact area and second contact area, both areas provided in the receptacle; a snap-action plate arranged in the receptacle having a curved region situated above the first contact area, and at least three support elements, with at least one support element contacting the second contact area, the curved region undergoing elastic deformation by operation of the snap-action plate, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the two contact areas and therefore generating a switching signal, with the second contact area, which is at a distance from the first contact area, extending at least in regions around the first contact area such that at least one support element touches the second contact area in every possible position of the snap-action plate within the receptacle.

Switch

An arrangement of a sensor device with at least one sensor for a contactless activation of at least one moving part of a vehicle, especially a vehicle hatch, the sensor being arranged on at least one support element on the vehicle, in order to permit a detection of an object in at least one detection range adjacent to the vehicle, so that activation of the hatch can be activated via the detection, where the sensor is arranged in shape-mated and/or force-fit fashion on support element.

Device for arrangement of sensors for electronic activation of a vehicle hatch

A case lock having a locking slide ( ) which is arranged in a lock housing ( ) and is intended for securing and, by gripactuated displacement counter to spring force, for releasing a mating closure part ( ). A grip ( ) forms a supporting shoulder ( ) which in a securing position, blocking the displacement of the locking slide ( ), is located in front of a blocking shoulder ( ) of the housing ( ) and, by the grip ( ) being pivoted transversely to displacement direction of the locking slide ( ), is displaced into a release position.

Case lock

A locking mechanism comprises a housing, a shaft extending in the housing and having a latch member thereon adjacent to one end thereof, and an actuating lever adjacent to an opposite end of a shaft. The shaft, actuating lever, and housing are interconnected in a manner that causes the shaft to move longitudinally in response to turning of the actuating lever to a predetermined extent from a rest position, so that the latch member moves from a first position to a second position, and for causing the shaft to tilt in response to continued turning of the actuating lever, so that the latch member is turned away from the second position.

Locking mechanism, in particular for suitcases or the like

A lock for a firearm that includes two locking elements located on either side of the trigger guard. One of the locking elements contains a plug-in unit and the other of the locking elements contains a receiver in mating contact with the plug-in unit via a meshing toothed arrangement. A handle attached to the plug-in unit rotates 90 degrees to unmate the toothed arrangement. Rotation of the handle by 90 degrees after a combination lock located in the handle is unlocked results unmating of the toothed arrangement.
