Abstract

A protector with a sensor comprises: a hollow part; and an installation base member formed on the hollow part. In the hollow part, a plurality of conductive parts have core wires embedded therein respectively and a space is positioned between the plurality of conductive parts. The plurality of conductive parts include: a conductive part on a lower part of the hollow part as a side of the installation base member; and a conductive part on an upper part of the hollow part separated from the side of the installation base member by the space. The hollow part includes: an oblique side on an inner-cabin side extending from an inner-cabin side end connected with the installation base member to a tip; and an oblique side on an outer-cabin side extending from an outer-cabin side end connected with the installation base member to the tip.

First claim

We claim:

1. A protector with a sensor comprising: a hollow part having core wires, a plurality of conductive parts and a space provided therein, the plurality of conductive parts having the core wires embedded therein respectively, the space being positioned between the plurality of conductive parts; and
an installation base member formed on said hollow part, wherein:
said plurality of conductive parts include a conductive part on a lower part of the hollow part and a conductive part on an upper part of the hollow part, the conductive part on the lower part of the hollow part being formed on a side of said installation base member, the conductive part on the upper part of the hollow part being separated from the side of said installation base member by the space;
said hollow part includes an oblique side on an inner-cabin side and an oblique side on an outer-cabin side, the oblique side on the inner-cabin side extending from an inner-cabin side end to a tip, the oblique side on the outer-cabin side extending from an outer-cabin side end to said tip, the inner-cabin side end being connected with said installation base member, the outer-cabin side end being connected with said installation base member; and
said conductive part on the lower part of the hollow part has a convex shape and said conductive part on the upper part of the hollow part has a concave shape in cross section of said hollow part, and a distance is uniform between said conductive part on the lower part of the hollow part and the conductive part on the upper part of the hollow part.

2. The protector with the sensor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein: the oblique side on the inner-cabin side and the oblique side on the outer-cabin side of said hollow part linearly extend at stable angles of inclination.

3. The protector with the sensor as claimed in claim 2 , wherein: said oblique side on the inner-cabin side extends at an angle of inclination of not more than 70 degrees relative to a datum line on an inner-cabin side on a position of said inner-cabin side end, the datum line on the inner-cabin side extending in an inner and outer cabin direction, and;
the oblique side on the outer-cabin side extends at an angle of inclination of not more than 70 degrees relative to a datum line on an outer-cabin side on a position of said outer-cabin side end, the datum line on the outer-cabin side extending in the inner and outer cabin direction.

4. The protector with the sensor as claimed in claim 3 , wherein: said datum line on the inner-cabin side is the same as said datum line on the outer-cabin side; and said angle of inclination of said oblique side on the inner-cabin side is the same as said angle of inclination of said oblique side on the outer-cabin side of said hollow part.

5. The protector with the sensor as claimed in claim 4 , wherein: said hollow part has a triangular shaped cross section.

6. The protector with the sensor as claimed in claim 3 , wherein: said hollow part has a triangular shaped cross section.

7. The protector with the sensor as claimed in claim 2 , wherein: said hollow part has a triangular shaped cross section.

8. The protector with the sensor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein: said oblique side on the inner-cabin side extends at an angle of inclination of not more than 70 degrees relative to a datum line on an inner-cabin side on a position of said inner-cabin side end, the datum line on the inner-cabin side extending in an inner and outer cabin direction, and;
the oblique side on the outer-cabin side extends at an angle of inclination of not more than 70 degrees relative to a datum line on an outer-cabin side on a position of said outer-cabin side end, the datum line on the outer-cabin side extending in the inner and outer cabin direction.

9. The protector with the sensor as claimed in claim 8 , wherein: said datum line on the inner-cabin side is the same as said datum line on the outer-cabin side; and said angle of inclination of said oblique side on the inner-cabin side is the same as said angle of inclination of said oblique side on the outer-cabin side of said hollow part.

10. The protector with the sensor as claimed in claim 9 , wherein: said hollow part has a triangular shaped cross section.

11. The protector with the sensor as claimed in claim 8 , wherein: said hollow part has a triangular shaped cross section.

12. The protector with the sensor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein: said hollow part has a triangular shaped cross section.
