Abstract: A rear view camera system for a motor vehicle includes a movable carrier assembly, a camera optical system, which is movable with the carrier assembly, and a drive unit coupled with the camera optical system. The camera optical system is pivoted in relation to the carrier assembly about an adjustable axis which is rotatably coupled with the drive unit and can be moved about the adjustable axis between a rest position and a recording position. These can be adjusted depending on the surrounding areas to be recorded. An eccentric component is coupled in movable fashion with the adjustable axis. A rotation of the eccentric component changes the distance between the adjustable axis and the support element so that the camera optical system can be moved to a recording position in which the camera optical system protrudes from the recess of the carrier assembly.

Abstract: A camera apparatus for a motor vehicle includes a carrier housing which is disposed on a moveable vehicle part, and a camera module coupled to the carrier housing. The camera module includes a drive unit and a camera unit, wherein the drive unit is coupled to the camera unit and the drive unit is also coupled to a control mechanism. The camera unit is supported in the carrier housing such that it can rotate about a camera rotational axis, and can be rotated within an adjustment range, wherein the camera module forms at least a section of a handle extending along the camera rotational axis, with which a sensor mechanism, designed for sensing a proximity to the handle and/or for detecting an actuation of the handle, is coupled.

Abstract: In a lock fitted with a rotary latch (30), a detent (40) is provided that can engage inside a preliminary catch and inside a main catch (32) of the rotary latch (30). The rotary latch (30) receives a locking part and can be transferred either manually or by means of a motor between an open position, a preliminary catch position and a main catch position (30.2). The motor-driven displacement ensues via a closing aid or an opening aid. In order to obtain a space-saving design, the invention provides that a locking lever (10) is eccentrically mounted on the rotary latch (30) and is held in a central position by an impulse spring whereby functioning as a closing aid. A stationary, rotationally mounted driving element (50) serves an opening aid, and an opening lever (20) is rotationally mounted on this driving element. This opening lever (20) is also held in a central position by an impulse spring.

Abstract: A motor-actuated lock for vehicles comprises a lock housing (11) provided with lock elements, and a motor (20) which, in turn, comprises a motor housing (21). The lock housing (11) has a connection point (12) for the motor housing (21), said motor housing being fixed to the lock housing at this point by fixing means (30). The aim of the invention is to develop a lock provided with a quiet motor (20). To this end, elastic elements (40) are arranged on the connection point (12) between the motor housing (21) and the lock housing (11). The fixing means (30) also engage with said elastic elements (40).
