Abstract:
1. A mounting device of a cam angle sensor in an internal combustion engine in which a head cover for covering a cam shaft at an upper face of a cylinder head is made of a synthetic resin, wherein the cam angle sensor is inserted in a through-hole perforated in the head cover, the cam angle sensor being arranged to face an outer periphery of a rotor on the cam shaft for detection of cam angles, wherein a mounting portion is integrally formed with the cam angle sensor at a position outside of the head cover, the mounting portion of the cam angle sensor being fastened to a bearing cap by a fixing member penetrating through the head cover at a position adjacent to a position of the cam angle sensor, the bearing cap pivotally supporting the cam shaft at a position adjacent to a position of the rotor, wherein the fixing member fastens simultaneously, to the bearing cap, both the mounting portion of the cam angle sensor and a portion of the head cover through which the fixing member penetrates.
