Touch-sensitive switch e.g. for electric cooking hob, has sensor button provided by 2 separate flexible bodies and intermediate electrical insulator

摘要

The switch has a sensor button (10a) having a first flexible body (11a) exhibiting a variation in shape, separated by an electrical insulator (13a) from a second flexible body (12a), the insulator attached to a base plate (14a) and acting as a support for at least one of the flexible bodies and projecting beyond the latter for providing electrical screening. An independent claim for a touch-sensitive switching device with one or more touch-sensitive switches is also included.
