Abstract
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).
