Abstract
A holder for a sensor includes a body having a top wall and a side portion extending away from the top wall. The sensor is adapted to sense a parameter of an item. The top wall and the side portion of the body form an interior cavity. A flange is coupled to and extends away from an edge of the side portion. A pressure application portion is coupled to a surface of the interior cavity of the body and is adapted to apply force to the sensor when the holder is coupled to the surface of the item.
Claims32
A holder for a sensor, the sensor being adapted to sense a parameter of an item, comprising:
- a body having a top wall and a side portion extending away from the top wall, the top wall and the side portion of the body forming an interior cavity;
- a flange coupled to and extending away from an edge of the side portion;
- and,
- a pressure application portion coupled to a surface of the interior cavity of the body for applying force to the sensor when the holder is coupled to the surface of the item.
A holder for a sensor, as set forth in claim in 1, wherein the body and pressure application are integrally molded from a thermoplastic elastomer and the flange is a flexible strip.
A holder for a sensor, the sensor being adapted to sense a parameter of an item, comprising:
- a body having a top wall and a side portion extending away from the top wall, the top wall and the side portion of the body forming an interior cavity;
- a flange coupled to and extending away from an edge of the side portion;
- a pressure application portion coupled to a surface of the interior cavity of the body for applying force to the sensor when the holder is coupled to the surface of the item;
- and,
- means for focusing the force applied by the body to the sensor and minimizing the force applied by the body on the flange.
