Embodiment Construction

[0037] figure 1 A three-dimensional view of a first embodiment of a device 10 according to the invention is shown in . In this case, the device 10 is essentially visible from the perspective of the exterior of a vehicle, which may be formed by a motor vehicle. The device 10 itself comprises a camera unit 12 which is fastened to the device 10 in a form-fitting manner in a receptacle 17 by means of a bow-shaped stop 17.1. The cable is led out of the camera unit 11 via the connecting plug 11.3 (in this case to the upper left). exist figure 1 In , the lens 11.1 of the camera unit 11 is not visible because it is covered by the cover unit 12, in particular the lens cover 12.1, which is in its closed position I. The cover unit 12 itself is arranged next to the camera unit 11 (here, on the left). The cover unit 12 is rotatably and longitudinally displaceable or accommodated in the device 10 via a guide sleeve 13 . In this case, the guide sleeve 13 is designed in one piece with th...
