Imaging system and vehicle window used for the same

A camera lens attaching portion 30 is fitted into an opening provided in a vehicle window 20. A lens of a camera 40 is attached to a lens attaching surface 31a of the camera lens attaching portion 30. A surface opposed to the lens attaching surface 31a is a window surface 31b. The window surface 31b is an inclined surface different from a window surface 22 of the vehicle window 20. Furthermore, the window surface 31b may be an inclined surface same as the window surface 22 of the vehicle window 20. The camera 40 images outside of the vehicle through the camera lens attaching portion 30 with an angle of view set within the window surface 31b of the camera lens attaching portion 30. It is possible to prevent reflection of a reflected image generated on a vehicle inner side of the vehicle window.

Windshield installation system and triangulation method
11529849 · 2022-12-20 ·

A vehicle windshield triangulation assembly (11), and triangulation method using it with a railing (22) fixed to a vehicle (16) via sliding/rotatable/orientation-adjustable/height-adjustable mounts (18). A sliding seat (21) on railing (22) receives the telescoping end (1) of assembly (11) after its two connected 360-degree rotation swivel clamps (7), each having a suction cup (8), are secured against the old windshield's (17) exterior surface. Assembly (11) triangulation transfers to a new/replacement windshield (17) by releasing suction cups (8) and pairing them in the same manner with the new/replacement windshield (17), and making needed height adjustment to a top stop (12/13) and the swivel clamp (7) remote from top stop (12/13). The telescoping end (1) of assembly (11) is then engaged with sliding seat (21), allowing one person to easily and accurately move the new windshield (17) into the same positioning of the old windshield (17). This triangulation method accommodates windshields (17) having any size and curvature, and installation of windshields (17) occurs without a dry set step, measuring, templating, or educated guessing being required.
