Abstract
Sensor-mounting devices are disclosed. A sensor mounting device has a tubular body having a front end, a rear end, and a through hole that extends between the front and rear ends. The tubular body front end includes a flange with a perimeter that is larger than a perimeter of the tubular body. The flange may be positioned at a front face of a mounting structure. A sensor-attachment structure is located on at least one of the tubular body and the front flange. Further locking structure extends from the tubular body to couple the tubular body to the mounting structure. The locking structure is at least one item from the group consisting of: a rear flange, a barb, and threading.
Claims18
A mounting device for an electrical component, the mounting device comprising:
- an elongate tubular body having a longitudinal axis and a through hole coaxial with the longitudinal axis;
- a cap substantially enclosing the through hole at one end of the elongate tubular body;
- a flange extending from the elongate tubular body, the flange being separated from the cap along the longitudinal axis;
- and
- an attachment device along the elongate tubular body to secure the electrical component to the elongate tubular body.
A light, comprising:
- an elongate tubular body having a longitudinal axis and a through hole coaxial with the longitudinal axis;
- a cap substantially enclosing the through hole at one end of the elongate tubular body;
- a flange extending from the elongate tubular body, the flange being separated from the cap along the longitudinal axis;
- a light source;
- and
- an attachment device along the elongate tubular body to secure the light source to the elongate tubular body.
An in-ground transmitting device, comprising:
- an elongate tubular body having first and second ends, the first end being open to an internal cavity, the second end being closed;
- a battery inside the elongate tubular body;
- a transmitter inside the elongate tubular body, the transmitter being in electrical communication with the battery;
- and
- an attachment device along the elongate tubular body to secure the battery and the transmitter inside the elongate tubular body, the attachment device having threading.
