Abstract
A fastening device for securing a sensing edge to a door edge includes a mounting plate having a first surface facing the door edge and a second surface facing the sensing edge. At least three elongated clamping members are spaced from each other and extend from the mounting plate. At least two of the clamping members are detachable at notches provided to facilitate such detachment. Thus, the fastening device is adaptable to receive one of a plurality of different thickness door edges facing the first surface. The sensing edge detects objects in proximity to the door edge and includes a switch for activating an electrical device upon compression of an elongated outer sheath. The sensing edge is releasably mounted to the second surface of the mounting plate by male and female interconnecting members. Alternatively, the sensing edge is permanently mounted directly to the second surface of the mounting plate.
