Abstract:
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.

Claim (Index 1):
An in-vehicle camera assembly comprising:\n a bracket adapted to be attached to a windshield of a vehicle; a camera that is supported by the bracket and having a case; and a pair of hook portions defined by the bracket, the pair of hook portions supporting the camera, wherein the bracket includes a leaf spring disposed between the case of the camera and the bracket, the pair of hook portions are projected from both right and left sides of the bracket and are positioned rearward relative to a front-rear center of the bracket, the case including bosses which are projected from right and left side surfaces of the case, the bosses come into contact with the respective hook portions when the camera is mounted to the bracket, the front end portion of the bracket defines an engagement portion, the engagement portion is engaged with an engagement projection projected from a front portion of the case via a first state in which, the leaf spring is elastically deformed, and wherein a deformation amount of the leaf spring is relatively decreased after the engagement portion is engaged with the engagement projection.
