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.

Mounting device for a sensor comprising,
- a 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 and removal of the sensor therefrom,
- 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 for clamping the sensor when inserted into the recess and the actuating means released.
Mounting device for a sensor comprising,
- a base part for securement to a structure,
- 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, wherein the recess has a smaller dimension in a relieved state than a corresponding dimension of the sensor to be mounted within the recess;
- and wherein the at least one pocket is located between the base part and the recess.
