Sensor means for determining the interior humidity and fogging up tendency, and fastening device of the sensor means
First Claim
1. Sensor for determining an interior humidity or an interior dew point of an interior volume delimited by a wall, in particular, of a vehicle passenger compartment, and a fogging up tendency of an inner surface of the wall, in particular, of a window of the vehicle passenger compartment, said sensor comprising:
- a dew point sensor having a humidity sensor element measuring air humidity of the interior volume, a temperature sensor measuring room temperature of the interior volume; and
a surface temperature sensor measuring a temperature of the inner surface.

21. Fastening device comprising:
-
a sensor for determining an interior humidity or an interior dew point of an interior volume delimited by a wall, in particular, of a vehicle passenger compartment, and a fogging up tendency of an inner surface of the wall, in particular, of a window of the vehicle passenger compartment, said sensor comprising a dew point sensor having a humidity sensor element, measuring air humidity of the interior volume, a temperature sensor measuring room temperature of the interior volume and;
a surface temperature sensor measuring a temperature of the inner surface; and
a rear mirror foot of a vehicle rear mirror wherein the dew point sensor is mounted within the fastening device.
-
- 22. Fastening device with a sensor arrangement, comprising a cover designed as rear mirror foot, into which an electronic unit of the sensor arrangement is installed, a tubular projection and a sensor holder which can be pushed onto the projection with a front surface which is adapted to an inner surface of a vehicle window, and wherein the sensor holder is displaceably disposed on the projection and a front surface abuts the inner surface of the vehicle window through displacing the sensor holder when the rear mirror foot is mounted in a vehicle passenger compartment.
