Sensor Attachment and Motor Vehicle
First Claim
1. A sensor attachment device for attaching a sensor device having a pair of holding fingers and a pin in such a way that removal of the sensor device without damage is precluded, the sensor attachment device comprising:
- a first and a second pin recess operatively configured in the sensor attachment device to correspond with the pin of the sensor device;
a first and a second pair of holding finger recesses operatively configured in the sensor attachment device to correspond to the pair of holding fingers of the sensor device; and
wherein the second pin recess is offset by an offset distance with respect to the first pin recess, and the second pair of holding finger recesses are offset by the same offset distance with respect to the first pair of holding finger recesses.

Abstract
A sensor attachment device is provided for attaching a sensor device in such a way that removal of the sensor device without damage is ruled out, whereby the sensor device has a pair of holding fingers and a pin. The sensor attachment device has a first and a second pin recess corresponding to the pin of the sensor device. The sensor attachment device has a first and a second pair of holding finger recesses corresponding to the pair of holding fingers of the sensor device, whereby the second pin recess is offset by an offset distance with respect to the first pin recess and whereby the second pair of holding finger recesses is offset by the offset distance with respect to the first pair of holding finger recesses.
