In various embodiments, the mounting fixture includes a bracket having a base portion and a first flange member extending from the base portion; a clamp fixture connected to the first flange member, the clamp fixture including a plate member; a first pin extending through the first flange member and the plate member; and a first fastener threaded on to the first pin and configured to secure the plate member to the first flange member.
Claims15
A mounting fixture for mounting a sensor circuit to a support rail, comprising:
- a bracket having a base portion and a first flange member extending from a first side of the base portion and a second flange member extending from a second side of the base portion opposite the first side of the base portion, wherein the base portion comprises an undersurface and the first flange member is offset a distance from the undersurface;
- a clamp fixture connected to the first flange member, the clamp fixture including a plate member configured for engagement with the first flange;
- a first pin extending through the first flange member and the plate member;
- a first fastener threaded on to the first pin and configured to secure the plate member to the first flange member;
- and
- a second pin extending through the second flange member and the plate member.
A method for mounting a sensor circuit to a support rail, comprising:
- attaching a bracket to the support rail, the bracket having a base portion and a first flange member extending from the base portion and a second flange member extending from the base portion the first flange member and the second flange member disposed on opposite sides of the base portion, the base portion including an underside surface configured to match a mounting surface of the support rail, wherein the first flange member is spaced from the support rail, wherein attaching the bracket to the support rail includes brazing or welding the undersurface of the base portion to the mounting surface of the support rail;
- connecting a clamp fixture to the first flange member, the clamp fixture including a plate member configured for engagement with the first flange member;
- extending a first pin through the first flange member and the plate member;
- and
- threading a first fastener on to the first pin to secure the plate member to the first flange member.
