  • Patent number: 7363824
    Abstract: A flow sensor for flowing media with a cylindrical housing (2) and with a sensor element located in the housing (2), the housing (2) preferably having an outside thread (3) and being screwable into a union (4) of a pipe (5) or into an opening of a connecting piece (43). The flow sensor (1) has very high measurement accuracy while still being economically producible. There is a lifting body (6) which projects into the flowing medium, the lifting body (6) being movably guided on the housing (2) and depending on the flow (7) of the medium to be monitored, can be moved against the reset force of a reset element which is located between the housing (2) and the lifting body (6), and the sensor element is made as a noncontact proximity switch (18, 20) which produces a signal that is dependent on the position of the lifting body (6).

  • Patent number: 7178776
    Abstract: A mounting device for contactlessly-operating proximity switches includes a continuous cylindrical or cuboidal recess for holding the proximity switch which is formed by at least two legs. The mounting device can also include at least one through pocket, connected to the recess, into which an actuating tool can fit. The recess of the mounting device, when in a relieved state, has a smaller diameter than the proximity switch which is to be mounted. Additionally, the recess can be spread into an enlarged state by the actuating tool being positioned into the pocket and turned.
