CONTACT DETECTION SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contact detection system which is easily set in an elastic member of a sensor and normally detecting a contact even in a case of a curved arrangement. SOLUTION: The contact detection system comprises a flexible cable-like piezoelectric sensor 10 and the elastic member 11 holding the sensor 10. The elastic member 11 has in its interior a hollow section 13 partially cut out for an opening and a sensor holding section 14 for holding the sensor 10 by opening the section 13. The section 13 of the member 11 is integrally or separately provided with a holding member 16 for maintaining the section in a hollow state so that the sensor 10 can be easily set in the member 13 and normal detection can be executed by an action of the member 16 even in the case of the curved arrangement.
