ABSTRACT:
A direction-sensitive sensor of the type which is particularly useful as a proximity sensor, is provided with a sensor part which is rotatively connected to a further sensor part via a rotary joint consisting of a bracket connection. The sensor parts are rotatably mounted about an axis which is perpendicular to the joint axis in the desired rotation angle position in a holder. Electrical connecting elements are designed as circular rings or segments of circular rings which are arranged concentric about the joint axis and are firmly connected to the connecting brackets. At least one of the brackets is provided with a sealing element which seals out the environment. In this manner, a moisture-proof and electrically highly conductive connection is achieved between the sensor portions. Moreover, the sensor portions can be arranged in any desired angular position while maintaining a good seal which prevents the environment from affecting the connection.
