Abstract:
A sensor assembly is provided for a fingerboard latch assembly that comprises: a latch bracket; bolts for mounting the latch bracket to a fingerboard; a latch; and a bracket pin rotatably supporting the latch on the latch bracket to allow rotation of the latch between an open position and a closed position. The sensor assembly has a mounting arrangement that mounts to the bolts, holding a closed-position proximity sensor probe facing downwardly for sensing proximity of a crank portion of the latch and/or the piston head in the closed position, and also holding an open-position proximity sensor probe facing forwardly for sensing proximity of an arm of the latch in the open position.

Claim (Index 28):
A sensor system for a fingerboard latch assembly that comprises a latch, the sensor system comprising:\n a processor; and a sensor assembly comprising: at least one sensor arranged to sense the position of the latch; a sensor circuit connected to the at least one sensor and arranged to derive a signal representing the position of the latch; and a communication circuit arranged to communicate the signal representing the position of the latch, wherein the processor is arranged to determine from the signal representing the position of the latch whether the latch is: in an open position, in a closed position, or in a fault condition stuck between the open position and the closed position.
