Mounting device for sensors
First Claim
1. An arrangement of a mount device with a sensor comprising,at least two legs elastically connected to one another and each of which has a closed cylindrical recess formed therein for holding the sensor enclosed within the recess of each of the legs,wherein the legs are displaceable from a first state into a second state against the elastic connection of the at least two legs, the sensor being removably held in the mounting device hy the legs, the legs being aligned at an acute angle relative to each other, and in the second state, the sensor being insertable into and removable from the mounting device, the legs being aligned relative to one another at an angle smaller than the acute angle;
- andwherein a mounting leg is connected to at least one of the legs and has a plurality of holes for fixing of the mounting device to the wall of a vessel or housing.

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.
