Abstract
Is disclosed an inclination sensor for detecting an inclination of a vehicle body in both lateral and longitudinal directions by a pendulum type movement rotatably supported on a rotation shaft mounted in the case, wherein the rotation shaft of the movement in the case is slanting to form a specified angle between a rotation plane of the movement and the case mounting plate surface attached to the vehicle body.
Claims4
An inclination sensor for detecting an inclination state of a vehicle body, comprising a case incorporating a pendulum type movement rotatably supported on a rotation shaft disposed therein, wherein the rotation shaft of the movement is provided with a spacer loosely fitted on each side of the movement, the shaft being placed in the case in a slanting state to form a specified angle between a case mounting plate surface attached to the vehicle body and a rotation plane of the movement.
A method of attaching an inclination sensor having a pendulum type movement capable of freely rotating in a case in a rotation plane parallel to a case mounting plate surface attached to a vehicle body, whereby a rotation shaft of the movement is tilted at a specified angle to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and is provided with a spacer loosely fitted on each side of the movement.
