  • Publication number: 20220294936
    Abstract: A camera module attaches a camera to a motor vehicle. The camera module includes a camera unit having an optical axis, and a support configured for accommodating the camera. The support has a main positioning surface transversal to the optical axis, such as when the camera is mounted with the support the front contact surface of the camera and the main positioning surface are in contact. A cover is attachable to the support to retain the camera pressed against the support in a direction parallel to the optical axis. First pressure means are provided in the cover or in the support, and as when the cover is fastened with the support, the pressure means press the camera unit against the support in a direction parallel to the optical axis (X) or perpendicular to the main positioning surface.

  • Publication number: 20180126406
    Abstract: The fluid-ejection device (100) comprises a first member (110) and a second member (120). The second member (120) is movable relative to the first member (110) and has an outlet (125) from which fluid can be discharged. The first member (110) has a first inlet (200) adapted to be fed by fluid from a source of fluid (250), and is connected to the outlet (125), and a second inlet (300) adapted to be fed by fluid from a source of fluid (250) that is capable of driving the second member (120) so as to move it relative to the first member (110).

  • Patent number: 9845054
    Abstract: A mirror base, a mirror housing rotatable to the mirror base between a non-driving retracted position and a driving protracted position around an axis (X), a non-metallic spring for providing an axial spring force between the mirror base and the mirror housing whose force differs at least between the non-driving retracted and the driving protracted positions; and a first guide portion for contacting a first contact area of the non-metallic spring, and a second guide portion for contacting a second contact area of the non-metallic spring. The guide portions are configured such that, during rotation of the mirror housing to the mirror base, at least one deformable portion of the non-metallic spring between the first and second contact areas is deformed in a direction (Y) substantially perpendicular to the mirror rotation axis (X).

  • Patent number: 9393909
    Abstract: A mirror pane, a mirror pane carrying element, a cover, and a supporting device associated with the carrying element and the cover includes supporting elements formed on an inner surface of the cover extending perpendicular to an inner surface of the mirror pane. It may also include reinforcing ribs in portions of the mirror pane to be received into slots of the carrying element. A clipping device is provided for coupling the mirror pane to the carrying element which includes a number of flanges and a number of corresponding openings whose plane is mutually perpendicular.
