  • Patent number: 10773658
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for folding in a camera on a motor vehicle in order to protect the device in the event of a collision with an obstacle. The device has a first housing element, in which the camera is received. The device has a second housing element, which is constructed to be connected to the motor vehicle in a positionally fixed manner. The first housing element and the second housing element are pivotably connected to each other by means of a first pivot connection, which defines a first rotation axis, and a second pivot connection, which defines a second rotation axis which is spaced apart from the first rotation axis.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120187171
    Abstract: A passenger compartment element of a motor vehicle has a housing in which at a functional component is provided. The passenger compartment element is disposed in a passenger compartment, on or behind an inner side of a front windshield in a region through which an airstream which is directed at least in certain sections onto the inner side of the front windshield flows from an air outlet opening at least temporarily. The passenger compartment element is distinguished in that the housing has an outer contour which is rounded and fluidically optimized with respect to its being flowed around by the airstream directed onto the inner side of the front windshield. The cross-sectional surface of the outer contour, against which cross-sectional surface a part of the airstream flowing along or at least virtually parallel to the front windshield flows, is larger than a cross-sectional surface lying in the flow-off region.
