Abstract

A bracket ( 10 ) adapted to be mounted to a pane of a motor vehicle including a base part ( 11 ) and at least one fixation arrangement ( 12 a, 12 b, 12 c ) configured to mount a camera carrier ( 35 ) carrying at least one camera ( 14 ) to the bracket ( 10 ). Each of the fixation arrangements ( 12 a, 12 b, 12 c )-including a holder ( 13 a, 13 b, 13 c ) and a spring element ( 15 ) configured to exert an elastic locking force on a pin ( 19 ) of the camera carrier ( 35 ). The spring element ( 15 ) includes a base element ( 17 ) configured to be held in the holder ( 13 ) and an angled leg ( 16 ) in the region of a first end ( 44 ) of the base element ( 17 ). The holder ( 13 a, 13 b, 13 c ) forms a hole ( 18 ) configured to receive the angled leg ( 16 ) in a mounted state, wherein in the mounted state the hole ( 18 ) limits the movement of the angled leg ( 16 ) and thus of the spring element ( 15 ) in both longitudinal directions of the elongate base element ( 17 ).

Claims (14)

1. A bracket adapted to be mounted to a pane of a motor vehicle, the bracket comprising a base part and at least one fixation arrangement configured to fixate a camera carrier carrying at least one camera to the bracket, wherein each of the at least one fixation arrangement comprises a holder and a spring element configured to exert an elastic locking force on a pin of the camera carrier, wherein the spring element comprises a base element configured to be held in the holder, wherein the spring element comprises an angled leg in a region of a first end of the base element, the holder further comprises a hole configured to receive the angled leg in a mounted state, wherein in the mounted state the hole limits the movement of the angled leg and thus of a portion of the spring element that provides the elastic locking force on the pin in both longitudinal directions of the elongate base element.

2. The bracket as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising the leg forms an angle of at least 95° relative to the base element.

3. The bracket as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holder comprises a counter element forming a recess for receiving the pin in the mounted stated.

4. The bracket as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising the counter element is U-shaped.

5. The bracket as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising the counter element forms a contact surface configured to contact the base element from a side opposite the hole.

6. The bracket as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holder further comprises a first support element configured to support the base element in a region of the first end of the base element.

7. The bracket as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising the hole is formed in the first support element.

8. The bracket as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the holder comprises a second support element configured to support the base element at a second end of the base element opposite the first end.

9. The bracket as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising the first end of the base element is a proximal end arranged proximal to an insertion opening of the holder.

10. The bracket as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the base element further comprises an extension extending in the plane of the base element and forming the first end.

11. The bracket as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising the extension forms a U-shape, wherein the base of the U-shape forms the first end.

12. The bracket as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising the hole is a blind hole.

13. The bracket as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising the hole is a through-hole extending through the holder from an inner hollow space to an outside of the holder.

14. The bracket as claimed in claim 13 , further comprising the angled leg comprises a handling section protruding to the outside of the holder through the through-hole.
