<p>The invention is directed to an improved connection means for asensor. According tothe invention, a sensor (10) comprises a housing (20) which can be mounted to a surface (52), a sensing element (12) on the outside ofsaid housing,anda flexible line (40) (e.g. an electrical cable) operativelyconnected to said sensing elementand extending through said housing. Furthermore, the housing (20) comprises alateral flange (24) comprisinga peripheral recess or groove (28) capable of retaining a portion of said linearound said housing in close proximity to said surface. The housing also comprises a lateral exit for saidline whichopens into said recess.Thus, the flexible line can be wound around the housing while being held snugly within the recess or groove, making it possible to direct the cable in any desired direction while avoiding that the cable bends or forms a loop.</p> |
