Abstract:
1. A sensor module for releasable attachment of a sensor to a window of a motor vehicle, characterized in that the sensor module is connectable via a fastening section arranged on a module housing to an element which is fixed to the vehicle body or is connected to a part fixed to the vehicle body, a sensor being accommodated in the module housing and being held displaceably and/or swivelably from a first starting position to a second end position in order to rest against the window, this adjusting movement being able to be initiated by means of an adjusting element and the adjusting element being preloadable in the direction of the end position by means of a spring element and being blockable in the starting position by means of a blocking element, and in that there is further provided a delaying element by which a parameter of the adjusting movement can be influenced, characterized in that the adjusting element is in the form of a piston-cylinder arrangement which comprises a piston mounted in a longitudinally displaceable manner in a cylinder housing, characterized in that the sensor is connected to the adjusting element by an articulated joint, characterized in that the articulated connection comprises a ball head mounted in a joint socket, characterized in that the spring element is a torsion spring, one arm of which bears against the underside of a lever and the other arm of which bears against the module housing, and characterized in that the delaying element is a friction lining arranged between cylinder housing and piston.
