Abstract
Mounting device for a rod-shaped proximity switch which is constructed, apart from a tightening screw (10), as a one-piece injection moulded plastic part. The latter has a fastening part (12) provided with holes (14) for fastening bolts; at the ends of the fastening part (12), small block-shaped parts extending away from the fastening part to the side are moulded on, one of which forms a rigid clamping jaw (16) and the other, a small rigid supporting block (18). Between these two blocks there is a moveable clamping jaw (20), also designed to be shaped like a small block, which on the side facing away from the fastening part (12) is connected with the small rigid supporting block (18) by way of a flexible web (22). The small rigid supporting block (18) has, next to the fastening part (12), a threaded hole (24) for a tightening screw (10) to apply pressure to the moveable clamping jaw (20) in the direction of the rigid clamping jaw (16). Each of the two clamping jaws (16, 20) has a channel (26, 28) in the side facing the other clamping jaw, whereby the channels (26, 28) are shaped so that their cross sections match the cross-sectional shape of the proximity switch (34).
