Abstract

A sensor mount (10), in particular for mounting inter-vehicle distance sensors on vehicle components, has a receptacle (12) for a sensor, wherein the receptacle has an axially front side, in the region of which the active surface of the sensor is located when the sensor is inserted into the mount, and a rear side which faces away from the front side (16). The mount comprises a cover (20) with which the rear side (16) of the receptacle (12) is covered or can be covered when a sensor is present in the mount (10) in order to attenuate sensor signals which are emitted in the rear direction and/or in order to attenuate reflection signals coming from the rear direction.
