Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pressing force sensor that includes an expandable and contractible film, pressing force detecting resistor membranes formed on a portion of a main surface of the film, and a support disposed along the main surface of the film. The support is provided with recesses or holes with openings located in areas where the pressing force detecting resistor membranes on the main surface of the film are located. In the pressing force sensor, when a pressing force is exerted on the main surface of the film, the film is expanded with a pressing force detecting resistor membrane. As a result, the pressing force detecting resistor membrane is deformed, and a change in resistance value of the pressing force detecting resistor membrane corresponding to the deformation is detected.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A pressing force sensor comprising: an expandable and contractible film; a pressing force detecting resistor membrane on a portion of a first surface of the expandable and contractible film; and a support adjacent the expandable and contractible film, the support having a recess adjacent the portion of the expandable and contractible film where the pressing force detecting resistor membrane is located, wherein the pressing force detecting resisto…
