PROTECTOR WITH SENSOR

摘要

A protector with a sensor operatively coupled on a sliding door detects an object by touch between two conductive parts in a hollow part with a space therebetween. The two conductive parts including a conductive part on a lower part of the hollow part as a side of the installation base member and a conductive part on an upper part of the hollow part as a side of a top end are shaped and positioned in a manner that an inner-cabin side end and an outer-cabin side end of the space are continuously provided directly on an inner peripheral surface of the hollow part. A coating layer covers at least an outer peripheral surface of the outer coat of the hollow part having the inner-cabin side end and the outer-cabin side end of the space continuously provided directly on the inner peripheral surface thereof.

1. A protector with a sensor comprising: an installation base member operatively coupled on a peripheral edge of a panel which moves between at least two positions to open and close an opening of an automobile body or on a peripheral edge of said opening of the automobile body, the panel including a door and a sun roof of an automobile; and a hollow part unified with the installation base member, the hollow part having a shape of a tube, the hollow part having core wires, two conductive parts and a space provided therein, the two conductive parts having the core wires embedded therein respectively, the space being positioned between the two conductive parts; an inner-cabin side end and an outer-cabin side end of the hollow part being connected with the installation base member, the inner-cabin side end and the outer-cabin side end being at a distance from each other in which:
when an object is disposed between said panel and said opening, and makes contact with said hollow part when said panel is moved towards a closed position, a corresponding change in electric signal detects said object; and in a terminal part, said core wires drawn out in a longitudinal direction are connected with two leads, said two leads being joined with a control unit, wherein: said two conductive parts comprise a conductive part on a lower part of the hollow part and a conductive part on an upper part of the hollow part, the lower part of the hollow part being a side of said installation base member, the upper part of the hollow part being a side of a top end of the hollow part; said two conductive parts are shaped and positioned in a manner that an inner-cabin side end and an outer-cabin side end of said space are continuously provided directly on an inner peripheral surface of an outer coat of said hollow part; and a coating layer covers at least an outer peripheral surface of the outer coat of said hollow part having the inner-cabin side end and the outer-cabin side end of said space continuously provided directly on the inner peripheral surface thereof.
