Abstract
A cleaning device for cleaning a lens of a camera, using a cleaning head, comprises driver members that drive the camera or the cleaning head, which are able to generate a relative displacement of the cleaning head with respect to the camera between a passive position in which the cleaning head is positioned outside of the image-capturing field of the camera, and an active position in which the cleaning head extends facing the lens so as to allow cleaning liquid to be ejected towards the said lens. The device particularly comes into effect in the case of an application to the cleaning of a reversing camera installed in motor vehicles.
