<p>An object sensing assembly for attachment to a frame (10C) surrounding a vehicle opening such as a window (8) senses an object such as a hand in said opening. The assembly comprises a flexible seal member (60) with first and second separate electrically conductive members (66, 72) within, and vehicle frame trim means (90) for attachment to said frame (10C). The flexible seal member is positioned adjacent to an inside surface of said vehicle frame trim means to sense an object in close proximity thereto. The conductive members energised by a VCO form a capacitor with a field extending below the seal member such that a close object changes the capacitance which is sensed by control circuitry to stop the window closing. Members (66, 72) may also be squashed together similarly changing the capacitance.</p> |
