  • Patent number: 11987185
    Abstract: A vehicle windscreen has a bracket for a sensor including a camera, the bracket being attached to the windscreen and comprising a baseplate and at least three retaining elements mounted on the baseplate. The sensor is accommodated within a sensor housing that comprises at least three mounting stubs projecting from the sensor housing. Each retaining element comprises a fixed support portion and a resilient limb fixed at one end and free at the other end, with a guideway extending between each resilient limb and its respective fixed support portion, the guideway being provided to guide the respective mounting stub when inserted in the bracket. Each resilient limb and fixed support portion defines a retaining portion, whereby the mounting stub when inserted in the bracket and having passed along the guideway is stopped and retained in the retaining portion by the biasing action of the resilient limb.

  • Patent number: 11938869
    Abstract: A vehicle windscreen has a bracket attached for a sensor including a camera, the bracket comprising a baseplate and a retaining element. The sensor is housed in a housing inserted in the bracket, and at least one rod-shaped member projects from the housing, by way of which it is removably retained in the bracket. A first retaining element variant comprises a raised bed integrated with the baseplate, and a resilient opposed limb, joined to the bed at one end and free at the other end. The limb opposes the bed, and an elongate space extends between the two, with the space closed at one end and open at the other end so the rod-shaped member may enter/be retained in the space. Another retaining element variant comprises a bore having a conical portion and a cylindrical portion in communication with each other, and aligned along a common axis of rotation.
