ABSTRACT:
An energy absorbing bumper (14) includes an impact face (20) having a plurality of apertures (19) therein. Each aperture (19) receives a housing (10) which carries a proximity sensor (12). The housing (10) has channels (49) extending along an interior cylindrical surface (30) to properly align the proximity sensor (12) relative to the bumper face (20). The housing (10) also has a face surface (42) with a depression (64) to receive the proximity sensor (12) in a recessed manner. A frustoconical surface (32) of the housing (10) slides over the edges of the aperture (18) when the housing (10) is being inserted into the aperture (18) so that the edges of the aperture (18) snap fit into a groove (34) formed in the outer surface of the housing (10).
