Abstract:
A mounting structure for mounting a rear view camera on a vehicle includes a mounting bracket for mounting to the vehicle, a camera support structure mounted on a camera mounting plate of the bracket, where the camera support structure has a shaft that extends perpendicularly to the camera mounting plate, with a slanted surface at its distal end where the camera is mounted, and an outer housing that covers the camera mounting plate, the camera support structure, and the camera except for the camera lens. The outer housing has a portion that conforms to the shape of the shaft of the camera support structure, with an opening at its distal end to expose the camera lens.

Claim (Index 1):
A mounting structure for mounting a rear view camera on a vehicle, comprising:\n a mounting bracket including a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate, the second mounting plate being adapted for mounting the bracket to a part of a rear of a vehicle, the second mounting plate being parallel to the first mounting plate, and a connecting member that connects the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate; a camera support structure mounted on the first mounting plate, the camera support structure including a shaft that extends perpendicularly to the first mounting plate, the shaft having a slanted surface at its distal end adapted for mounting the camera, and an attachment structure for attaching the camera support structure to the first mounting plate; and an outer housing disposed to cover the camera mounting plate and the camera support structure and a portion of the camera, the outer housing having a first portion that covers the first mounting plate and the attachment structure of the camera support structure, and a second portion which extends perpendicular to the first portion and has a shape that conforms to a shape of the shaft of the camera support structure, with an opening at a distal end of the second portion.
