FORCE SENSORS WITH SEGMENTAL ELECTRODES

摘要

A force sensor (10) employing a segmental electrode construction, with a portion of one (14) of its pair of electrodes being printed on a first backing sheet (12) and another portion of the one electrode being printed on a second sheet. When they are juxtaposed they form a continuous electrode. The other (30) of the pair of electrodes is also formed on the first backing sheet (12) and coooperates with the first electrode to indicate when a load is applied to a zone in which the pair of electrodes overlie one another.
