摘要 |
The present invention relates to a trapping protector capable of detecting the presence of an object in a sensing region (34) when connected with a device for creating input signals and evaluating output signals. Said trapping protector comprises a body portion (15), at least one ground electrode (14), at least one sensor electrode (22) arranged spaced apart from said ground electrode (14) and embedded in said body portion (15), and a zone of reduced rigidity (23) between said at least one ground electrode (14) and said at least one sensor electrode (25). Said zone of reduced rigidity (23) is provided within said body portion. Thus, the trapping protector is capable to detect electrically conductive objects and at the time objects of non-conductive material. <IMAGE> |
