  • Patent number: 10556551
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20170129420
    Abstract: 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.
