Abstract
A mounting device for contactlessly-operating proximity switches includes a continuous cylindrical or cuboidal recess for holding the proximity switch which is formed by at least two legs. The mounting device can also include at least one through pocket, connected to the recess, into which an actuating tool can fit. The recess of the mounting device, when in a relieved state, has a smaller diameter than the proximity switch which is to be mounted. Additionally, the recess can be spread into an enlarged state by the actuating tool being positioned into the pocket and turned.
Claims18
Mounting device for a sensor comprising,
- a continuous recess for holding the sensor, and
- at least one pocket adapted to receive an actuating means for enlarging the recess and permitting insertion of the sensor into the recess,
- wherein the recess and the at least one pocket are connected to one another and wherein the recess has a smaller dimension in a relieved state than a corresponding dimension of the sensor to be mounted within the recess.
Mounting device for a sensor comprising,
- a continuous recess for holding the sensor which in a relieved state the recess has a smaller dimension that a dimension of the sensor to be mounted, and
- two spring legs each of which include a clamp end and which together define the continuous recess,
- wherein one spring leg passes into the clamp end of the other spring leg so that the spring legs can be spread apart and the recess enlarged by pressing together the clamp ends.
Mounting device for a sensor comprising,
- at least two legs elastically connected to one another to define a recess for holding the sensor,
- wherein the legs are displaceable from a first state into a second state against the elastic connection of the at least two legs such that, in the first state, the sensor is held in the mounting device by the legs, the legs being aligned at an acute angle relative to each other, and in the second state, the sensor is insertable into removable from the mounting device, the legs being aligned relative to one another at an angle smaller than the acute angle.
