Field Device Comprising a Mounting Bracket Adapted for Mounting to an Attachment Surface

A field device, comprising:

• a jacket surface attaching the field device to an attachment surface using a mounting bracket,
• wherein the mounting bracket includes (a) a first bracket strap including a first rotary bearing;
• (b) a second bracket strap, spaced apart from the first bracket strap by a space, including a second rotary bearing;
• and (c) at least one movable lock on one of the two bracket straps,
• wherein the first and second rotary bearings articulate on two opposing sides the field device that arranged in the space so that the field device is rotated, on an imaginary axis which extends through the space, from a first angle position to a second angle position, and
• wherein the lock engages the field device to resist a torque of the field device, in that the lock converts the torque to a pair of forces which is removable using (i) one of the first and second rotary bearings and (ii) the lock itself.
