Abstract:
A vehicular camera apparatus includes a lens and a hood provided below the lens. The hood includes a rib structure and a hole structure. The rib structure is constituted of ribs that each protrude upward from a bottom wall of the hood and are arrayed in an optical axis direction of the lens. Each of the ribs has a front surface on the opposite side to the lens and a rear surface on the lens side. The front surface makes an acute angle with an imaginary plane that contains an upper surface of the bottom wall. The rear surface makes an obtuse angle with the imaginary plane. The hole structure is constituted of holes formed in the bottom wall. Each of the holes is formed along a corresponding one of the ribs and includes, at least, a projection of the front surface of the corresponding rib on the imaginary plane.
