Touch sensor

摘要

A position detecting device for detecting the position of an object from any angle comprising a contacting member having a ball center portion held within a spherical bearing to enable multiple angle movement and an inner end contacting a switch, whereby any movement of the contacting member at any angle operates the switch. In a second embodiment, the ball and bearing arrangement is replaced with an arc portion and inner surface of the support body with the length dimension in the width diameter being maintained the same for any movement of the contacting member. The device is advantageous in enabling detection at any angle with a small, light-weight device.
