Patent number: 10336264Abstract: In an in-vehicle camera, when an in-vehicle camera body is hooked on a hook portion of a bracket attached to a windshield, a leaf spring presses the in-vehicle camera body against the bracket to fix the in-vehicle camera body to the bracket. Therefore, the in-vehicle camera body can be attached to the windshield without permitting the windshield to come off from the vehicle by the bracket's being strongly pushed such as by a jig, or without permitting the jig to scratch the windshield. Since the in-vehicle camera body is fixed to the bracket by being pressed against the bracket by the leaf spring, there is no problem of causing backlash relative to the bracket.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Syo Okuda

Patent number: 10272849Abstract: A vehicle-mounted camera has a lens disposed on a protruding part, which protrudes from the upper surface of a vehicle-mounted camera body; thus, compared to the situation in which the entire vehicle-mounted camera body is positioned below a bracket, the lens can be positioned at the shortest distance from a windshield, thereby enabling the length of a hood to be reduced. Furthermore, the in-vehicle camera is able to take up a large area of the portion of the bracket affixed to the windshield.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2013Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Syo Okuda
