Abstract: A sensor (10) bracket configured to provide a vertical displacement in response to a horizontal displacement. The bracket (10) has a general U-shape including an upper bracket section (30), a lower bracket section (28) and a middle bracket section (32) therebetween. The upper and lower bracket sections (30, 38) are provided with upper and lower sensor apertures (46,48), wherein the upper sensor aperture (46) is provided with serrations (45) which are spaced in close proximity to the sensor body (22), yet allow easy passage of the sensor body (22) therepast. Remote from the middle bracket section (32), the lower bracket section (28) is restrained by a bolt (24) and the upper bracket section (30) has a toothed slot (40), wherein the teeth (42) have a predetermined pitch angle. A washer (34) carried by the bolt (24) is inscribed by the teeth (42) as it is pressed into the slot (40) by the bolt (24), which, in turn, causes the upper bracket section (30) to be horizontally displaced so as to result in its bending. A pair of tabs (50, 52) cause squeezing of the upper bracket section (30) at the upper sensor aperture (46) when the upper bracket section (30) bends to thereby grab the sensor body (22) and vertically displace it as bending continues. Accordingly, by placing the sensor body (22) firstly against a reluctor (18), the horizontal displacement results in vertical displacement of the sensor body (22) equal to a predetermined air gap with respect to the reluctor (18).

Abstract translation: 传感器（10）支架，其构造成响应于水平位移而提供垂直位移。 托架（10）具有包括上托架部（30），下托架部（28）和中托架部（32）的大致U字形。 上和下支架部分（30,38）设置有上传感器孔和下传感器孔（46,48），其中上传感器孔（46）设置有锯齿（45），其间隔得非常接近传感器体 （22），但允许传感器主体（22）容易地通过。 远离中托架部分（32），下支架部分（28）由螺栓（24）限制，上支架部分（30）具有齿槽（40），其中齿（42）具有预定的 俯仰角。 由螺栓（24）承载的垫圈（34）在被螺栓（24）压入槽（40）中时被齿（42）内接，这又导致上支架部分（30） 水平移位，从而导致其弯曲。 当上托架部分（30）弯曲以便抓住传感器主体（22）并垂直地将其作为其位移时，一对翼片（50,52）在上传感器孔（46）处引起上支架部分（30）挤压， 弯曲继续。 因此，通过首先将传感器主体（22）放置在反磁体（18）上，水平位移导致传感器主体（22）的垂直位移相对于排列器（18）等于预定的气隙。
