Abstract

Various embodiments include a monitor of a camera-monitor system in a motor vehicle comprising: a display mounted in a field of vision of a driver of the motor vehicle; wherein the monitor is height-adjustable.

Claims

1. A monitor of a camera-monitor system in a motor vehicle, the monitor comprising:

a display mounted in a field of vision of a driver of the motor vehicle;

wherein a vertical position of the monitor is adjustable and does not affect a horizontal position of the monitor; and

wherein the vertical position of the monitor is held by both a force fit and a form fit;

a spring exerting a force establishing the force fit;

a sliding element;

a holding element including a slide rail for the sliding element;

wherein the sliding element includes a toothing on a first longitudinal side and, on its second longitudinal side lying opposite the first longitudinal side, strikes against a rail;

wherein the rail is supported in relation to the holding element by means of springs;

the holding element includes a rack lying opposite the toothing of the sliding element; and

the slide rail is connected in a horizontally displaceable manner to the holding element.

2. The monitor as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an intermeshing rack and toothing for the form fit.

3. The monitor as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a damping element arranged between the slide rail and the sliding element.

4. The monitor as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a damping element arranged at a lower end of the slide rail.

5. The monitor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the holding element comprises at least one element selected from the group consisting of:

a cable guiding element, a fastening element for a covering element, a cable feedthrough, an installation opening, and a fastening element for the rail.

6. The monitor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the slide rail includes a projection engaging a recess of the sliding element.
