主权项 1. An optical proximity switch comprising: an optical transmitter for emitting a light signal; a transmitting lens including a region of total internal reflection using the light signal to form and transmit a light beam; a receiver; an imaging receiving lens for receiving and transmitting to the receiver the light signal; an electronic circuit for evaluating the light signal received by the receiver; and wherein the transmitting lens is located within a second circular area, and the receiving lens at least partially fills a crescent-shaped area portion of a first circular area that encompasses both the transmitting lens and the imaging receiving lens.
