Optical sensor holder

An optical sensor holder, comprising:

• a holder main unit made of synthetic resin and having an opening formed on a backside thereof through which an optical sensor is insertable, a window where a sensor unit arranged on the optical sensor faces outward on an upper portion of a front side of the holder main unit, a partition plate is formed toward the backside and divides an inner space of the holder main unit in a lateral direction so that a pair of metal terminals of the optical sensor are moveable away from each other in the lateral direction in the holder main unit, a first positioning pin projects from the second inner space of the opening toward the backside, and a second positioning pin integrally projects from a bottom surface for positioning the holder with respect to a base plate, the second positioning pin being insertable into a positioning hole formed on the base plate;
• a cover unit made of synthetic resin, having a first positioning hole for receiving the first positioning pin and being mountable on said opening so that the sensor unit, is covered from the backside;
• an arm made of synthetic resin integrally molded so as to extend between the main unit and the cover unit, the arm being bendable between a tip of the holder main unit and a tip of the cover unit;
• and
• a leg structure having a pair of leg units extending approximately in parallel and in a same direction to be separated from the holder main unit, having pawls engageable with mounting holes formed on the base plate and being arranged on forward ends of the leg units so as to be separated from each other, and said leg units being bendable toward one another.
