Support for a camera on a motor vehicle
View Patent ↗A support for a camera on a motor vehicle, including at least a main body with a guide and a bracket element which is pivotable relative to the main body and is connected to the main body via at least one guide rail, and which extends along an extent between a first end and a second end, wherein the camera may be arranged on the second end, wherein the first end is arranged on the guide, wherein the bracket element is pivotably connected to the at least one guide rail between the first end and the second end, and wherein, when the bracket element is pivoted, the first end is displaceable along the guide and the bracket element is displaceable along the at least one guide rail.
1. A support for a camera on a motor vehicle, comprising at least a main body with a guide and a bracket element which is pivotable relative to the main body, is connected to the main body via at least one guide rail, and which extends along an extent between a first end and a second end, wherein the guide and the at least one guide rail are arranged stationarily relative to each other, wherein the camera is arranged on the second end, wherein the first end is arranged on the guide, wherein the bracket element is pivotably connected to the at least one guide rail between the first end and the second end, and wherein, when the bracket element is pivoted, the first end is displaceable along the guide and the bracket element is displaceable along the at least one guide rail.
2. The support as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a peg, wherein the bracket element is rotatably mounted on the at least one guide rail via the peg.
3. The support as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising at least one spring element, wherein the bracket element is connected to the main body via the at least one spring element.
4. A support for a camera on a motor vehicle, comprising at least a main body with a guide and a bracket element which is pivotable relative to the main body, is connected to the main body via at least one guide rail and a spring element, and which extends along an extent between a first end and a second end, wherein in a starting position of the bracket element, the first end is arranged in a latching position of the guide, wherein the spring element is deflected to a maximum when the bracket element is in the starting position, wherein the camera is arranged on the second end, wherein the first end is arranged on the guide, wherein the bracket element is pivotably connected to the at least one guide rail between the first end and the second end, and wherein, when the bracket element is pivoted, the first end is displaceable along the guide and the bracket element is displaceable along the at least one guide rail.
5. The support as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the guide has a sliding region adjacent to the latching position, wherein the latching position is configured such that a first force is required to move the bracket element along the sliding region, wherein a second force is required to move the bracket element out of the latching position, and wherein the first force is smaller than the second force.
6. The support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first end is rotatable along the guide.
7. The support as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising a gearwheel, wherein the the gearwheel is arranged on the main body.
8. The support as claimed in claim, 1 wherein the at least one guide rail comprises a first guide rail and a second guide rail.
9. A motor vehicle having at least a bodywork and a support as claimed in claim 1 , arranged on the bodywork.
10. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the support is arranged on a side of the motor vehicle, and wherein the bracket element is displaceable along the at least one guide rail substantially parallel to a plane defined by all wheel hubs of the motor vehicle.
