ABSTRACT:
A sensor bracket configured to provide a vertical displacement in response to a horizontal displacement. The bracket has a general U-shape including an upper bracket section, a lower bracket section and a middle bracket section therebetween. The upper and lower bracket sections are provided with upper and lower sensor apertures, wherein the upper sensor aperture is provided with serrations which are spaced in close proximity to the sensor body, yet allow easy passage of the sensor body therepast. Remote from the middle bracket section, the lower bracket section is restrained by a bolt and the upper bracket section has a toothed slot, wherein the teeth have a predetermined pitch angle. A washer carried by the bolt is inscribed by the teeth as it is pressed into the slot by the bolt, which, in turn, causes the upper bracket section to be horizontally displaced so as to result in its bending. A pair of tabs cause squeezing of the upper bracket section at the upper sensor aperture when the upper bracket section bends to thereby grab the sensor body and vertically displace it as bending continues. Accordingly, by placing the sensor body firstly against a reluctor, the horizontal displacement results in vertical displacement of the sensor body equal to a predetermined air gap with respect to the reluctor.
