ENVIRONMENT SENSOR MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
First Claim
1. An environment sensor assembly for anchoring an environment sensor to a mounting substrate of a building, the sensor assembly comprising:
- a carrier component comprising a proximal end, a distal end, a body defining a tubular-shaped cavity adapted to removably receive the sensor, and a flange radially extending from the proximal end of the carrier component; and
a locking component comprising a circular opening;
wherein the locking component and carrier component comprise interlocking elements adapted to operate together such that the carrier component can be advanced through the opening of the locking component and releasably secured to the locking member; and
wherein the carrier component comprises a grip structure that releasably engages a mating structure on an exterior surface of the sensor when the sensor is inserted into to the carrier component.

Abstract
A sensor mounting assembly for installing an environment sensor in a drop-down ceiling or light fixture of a building. The sensor mounting assembly includes a cylindrically-shaped carrier and a locking nut adapted to removably engage the carrier, and to clamp onto the mounting substrate. The carrier further is configured to receive the environment sensor from the front. The carrier and sensor include interlocking features to removably lock the sensor. Both installation and removal of the sensor may be performed from the front of the mounting substrate. Method and kits for mounting the sensor are described.
