VEHICLE OPENING DEVICE

摘要

A sensing arrangement for sensing a body part in a vehicle opening is described. The arrangement includes a flexible sealing member with two separate electrically conductive members. The two electrically conductive members are interconnected by an electrical oscillator which generates an electric field in the vehicle opening. The arrangement also includes detecting circuitry for detecting a change in the capacitance of the electric field when the body part is in the vicinity of the opening, and for detecting electrical continuity of the first and second electrically conductive members.
