Patent attributes
A sensor arrangement for a vehicle includes a holding device holding a sensor and a connection arrangement connecting a holding device to a vehicle component. The connection arrangement moves the holding device between an operating position and at least one protecting position. The connection arrangement includes at least one lever arrangement that moves the holding device from the operating position to the at least one protecting position in response to an application of a collision force against the vehicle such that the holding device moves in at least one spatial direction including a first spatial direction, which corresponds to a first force component of the collision force. The connection arrangement includes at least one restoring arrangement that generates a restoring force applied against the at least one lever arrangement to move the holding device from the protecting position back to the operating position.
