Abstract: A proximity detector having a housing and issuing an output signal whose state is a function of the position of a target or of the frequency of passage of a target, where the detector parameters can be set by an operator using operator dialog facilities communicating with the detector by dialog signals. The dialog facilities are separated from the detector housing and can be incorporated into a connection block connected to the detector housing by a connecting cable which conveys the dialog signals and the detector output signal.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for a detection device is provided with a front detection face, a back face, a first side face and a stop side face opposite to the first side face. The mounting assembly includes a removable mounting part having an attachment plate, a stop lip with a stop member cooperating with corresponding member on the stop side face of the device, a click fit member cooperating with a corresponding member on the first side face of the device and an elastic pressure member pressing on the back of the device. The mounting assembly also includes a fixed mounting part which includes a base plate fixed to a mounting plate, the base plate being designed to hold a removable mounting part and the mounting plate being designed to hold the mounting assembly on an arbitrary support.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a proximity detector having a housing (10) and issuing an output signal (15) whose state is a function of the position of a target (5) or of the frequency of passage of a target (5), where the detector parameters can be set by an operator using operator dialogue facilities (35) communicating with the detector by dialogue signals (14). The dialogue facilities (35) are separated from the detector housing (10) and can be incorporated into a connection block (30) connected to the detector housing (10) by a connecting cable (20) which conveys the dialogue signals (14) and the detector output signal (15).

Abstract: This invention relates to a mounting assembly for a detection device (10) provided with a front detection face (19), a back face, a first side face (13) and a stop side face (11) opposite to the first side face (13). The mounting assembly comprises a removable mounting part (20) that comprises an attachment plate (29), a stop lip (21) comprising stop means (22) cooperating with corresponding means (12) on the stop side face (11) of the device (10), click fit means (23) cooperating with corresponding means on the first side face (13) of the device (10) and elastic pressure means (25) pressing on the back of the device (10). The mounting assembly also comprises a fixed mounting part (30) composed of a base plate (31) fixed to a mounting plate (32), the base plate (31) being designed to hold a removable mounting part (20) and the mounting plate (32) being designed to hold the mounting assembly on an arbitrary support.

Abstract: A device for fixing a built in apparatus in a panel opening. Bolts, each having a base, fixed to the apparatus and a sliding piston are urged into contact with the panel by the action of compression springs. The piston includes push clips emerging into slots of the base to catch the piston on the base in an inoperative position and for triggering the locking by releasing the piston.

Abstract: A proximity detector has a casing containing a probe (4) and a printed circuit (3), the upper end of the casing being closed by a plug (35) provided with a filling orifice (14) and with connecting-pins (36). The nozzle of a plastic injector (13) is fitted in position within the filling orifice, said nozzle being provided with two adjacent ducts. A hardenable resin is caused by centrifugation to flow into the casing via a first duct while simultaneously driving-out the air which is present within the casing via the second duct, thus ensuring rapid and efficient filling. When the casing has been filled and the resin has hardened, the injector (13) is cut-off in close proximity to the plug (35). Complete filling can be checked by inspecting the surface appearance of the two leading portions of solidified resin flux which are thus visible at the level of the orifice (14).
