Patent ID: 8864197

Claim:
An arrangement for fastening a sensor assembly ( 1 ) on a motor vehicle, comprising a sensor assembly having at least one detection zone in a sensor direction in which the sensor assembly is effective to receive and/or emit electromagnetic waves, the sensor assembly ( 1 ) being located in an area behind a motor vehicle add-on part ( 2 ) of the motor vehicle, and a moulded part ( 3 ) arranged between the sensor assembly ( 1 ) and the motor vehicle add-on part ( 2 ), wherein the moulded part ( 3 ) is a solid part comprising a moulded material, the moulded part ( 3 ) is adapted to transmit sensor signals in the detection zone, on a side thereof facing the sensor assembly, the moulded part ( 3 ) positively encloses at least part of the sensor assembly ( 1 ) in, and at right angles to, the sensor direction, on a side thereof facing the add-on part, the moulded part ( 3 ) has a surface ( 3 a ) that is shaped complementary to, and lies smoothly in contact against, an adjoining surface ( 2 a ) of the motor vehicle add-on part ( 2 ), and the moulded part ( 3 ) serves as a carrier matrix for one or several additional components which are functional elements that are arranged and effective to influence the electromagnetic waves received and/or emitted by the sensor assembly, and that are each respectively incorporated at a respective discrete confined location in the moulded part spaced apart from the sensor assembly and spaced apart from the motor vehicle add-on part such that the one or more additional components are embedded in, surrounded on all sides thereof by, and carried by the moulded material.
