  • Apparatus for positioning two sensor devices
    Patent number: 4677946
    Abstract: Two Hall sensor devices are positioned at a predetermined angular position with respect to each other, and with respect to a distributor, by mounting a first Hall sensor in a primary carrier, forming a first alignment means at a firing point of the first Hall sensor, mounting a second Hall sensor in a secondary carrier, and forming a second alignment means in the secondary carrier at the firing point of the second Hall sensor. A third alignment means is formed in the primary carrier at the predetermined angle from the first alignment means and the secondary carrier is mounted to the primary carrier so that the second and third alignment means are aligned and the two Hall sensors provide output signals displaced by the predetermined angular rotation.
    Type: Grant
