Holding device for adjustable fastening
of measuring equipment

The innovation relates to a holding device for alignable Attachment of measuring means, in particular a magnetic probe on a mounting surface.

Magnetic probes are used to measure the earth's magnetic field and can therefore emit a heading signal when used on vehicles. However, a vehicle generates significant interference fields and affects the
closer area the earth's magnetic field. A magnetic probe is therefore outside the vehicle, for example on the
Roof of a car and with a relatively large distance
arranged to the surface. It is known such
To fix probes with a tripod on the roof. Around
To adjust the stand in the vertical direction with the roof surface inclined, it has a joint, for example a ball joint. It has been shown, however, that such a rigid structure can be damaged very easily when external forces are applied and can be brought out of its vertical alignment.

The object of the innovation is therefore to create a holding device that is insensitive to external influences and can be aligned in a simple manner.

This object is achieved in that the holding device from an annular, elastically deformable part consists, which rests with one end face on the fastening surface, this end face one inward directed cone shape and wherein the annular part on the opposite end face is a disc has, which covers the ring opening and 1n which a screw or a adjustable in the radial direction A pin is arranged, by means of which the holding device can be mounted on the fastening surface.

In an advantageous development of the innovation proposed the disc, for example from a metallic material is to be provided with a recess and a bead on the annular part to attach that when assembling a form-fitting Connection between the disc and the ring-shaped part is created. This ensures that the annular part retains its set position even with high external loads. A particularly favorable embodiment is obtained through the direct connection of the bracket, i.e. the ring-shaped part with the stand and the receptacle housing the magnetic probe. This is achieved by the fact that all functions, i.e. adaptation to the mounting surface, Distance adjustment of the magnetic probe and its housing, in a plastic part, for example is made of PUR integral foam, are integrated. This means that the probe is also at the same time with a Equipped with impact protection.

The innovation is shown below using an execution; example explained in more detail. $

The figure shows a holding device with built-in f A cross-sectional view of the probe.

The holding device consists of a housing 1, which -i

Has shape. In the upper and closed part there is a ■ Magnetic probe 2 attached by means of a receiving sleeve 3. | The functionality of the magnetic probe is known and |

does not need to be explained in more detail here. The lower, |

open part of the housing is conical and |

forms a circumferential elastic sealing lip 4. The §

housing is attached to an exterior surface of the body - f

hler shown as body panel 5 - and must, independently |

depending on the inclination of the exterior surface of the body on the 1st

fastening point, with the vehicle standing horizontally, § be aligned vertically. It is therefore necessary to adjust the housing during installation.

A disk 6 with a concentric recess 7 is provided for fastening the housing to the body panel. If the housing 1 is deformed, this disk can be inserted into the latter and lies on a projection with an annular bead 8 in a form-fitting manner; is thus secured against unintentional changes in position. The disk has an elongated hole 9, in which a lock screw 10, with an anti-twist device provided, is slidably mounted. Furthermore, in the disk 6 there is a hole 11 for the implementation of the magnetic probe connection Outer lines 12 are provided. Using the The housing 1 is fastened to the body panel 5 with a screw 10. The vertical alignment of the housing is done by moving the screw 10 in the elongated hole 9, i.e. with the body panel 5 not inclined
