  • Patent number: 11906883
    Abstract: A holder base part for securing at least one camera housing to a vehicle part of a vehicle, a camera housing and a camera system are described. The holder base part has a retaining element with a securing portion, by which the retaining element is secured to the vehicle part, and which has a retaining portion by which the retaining element is separably connected to a connection element on the side of the at least one camera housing by a sliding movement along a notional connection axis. The retaining portion contributes to defining an insertion region into which the housing-side connection element is inserted for separable connection to the retaining element. The retaining element has a holder-locking element which interacts with a housing-locking element on the side of the camera housing to lock a connection between the retaining element and the connection element. The holder-locking element is arranged in the insertion region.

  • Patent number: 6892686
    Abstract: The invention concerns a magnet actuator for a camshaft controller, comprising a housing base body with receiving sections provided on the housing base body for receiving at least one magnetic body, wherein the magnetic body is provided for driving an actuating means which is disposed coaxially to the camshaft and which controls the camshaft. The invention is characterized in that the housing base body is made from plastic material, in particular fiber glass reinforced plastic material and that conductor paths are provided on the plastic material or injected into the plastic material which connect a central electric connection to the at least one magnet body and/or to the sensor elements detecting adjustment or motion of the camshaft.
