ELECTRICAL SWITCH ASSEMBLY COMPRISING A PIEZOELECTRIC SENSOR DISPOSED BETWEEN PARALLEL MOUNTING PLATES

The present inventors have recognized that an electrical switch for opening doors in buildings, calling elevators, and the like can be improved to require less physical contact, larger activation area, and multiple activation methods, with increased reliability, by utilizing a piezoelectric sensor specifically arranged between rigid, parallel mounting plates in which one of the plates (an inner plate) is rigidly fixed to prevent movement while the other plate (an outer plate) is accessible for receiving physical contact. By rigidly fixing the inner plate, such as by mounting to a wall or bollard, the sensor can react with sensitivity upon an application of less pressure on the outer plate. Such pressure compresses the sensor between the plates to produce an electrical signal. A controller receiving the signal can, in turn, execute to open a door, call an elevator and/or activate a light or sound to provide feedback.

The support comprises a flexible intermediate layer (18) and an rigid insert (22) in contact with the layer, where the insert is meshed and realized in a material different from that of the layer and allows better transmission of the waves to the layer. The insert has a region disposed at an interface between a skin (20) and the layer against active zones (12) on the support.

Operating element and appliance provided therewith

The present invention relates to a domestic appliance with an operating element, the operating element comprising: - a carrier, at least one pressure sensor configured for detection of an operation of the operating element, and at least one light source; - a control which is configured to switch the light source on or off subject to a sensor signal coming from the pressure sensor; - at least one light conductor arranged close to the light source and configured to conduct light from the light source to at least a side of the light conductor remote from the carrier; and - wherein provided on or close to the side of the light conductor remote from the carrier is a screen comprising at least one opaque part and at least one translucent part, which together form a symbol.

DEVICE FOR DETECTING THE INTENT OF LOCKING OR UNLOCKING A MOTOR VEHICLE OPENING ELEMENT WITH CAPACITIVE AND INDUCTIVE SENSORS

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de détection d'intention de verrouillage ou de déverrouillage d'un ouvrant de véhicule automobile par un utilisateur. Le dispositif comprend un capteur capacitif et intègre un capteur inductif avec une cible métallique amagnétique se déplaçant sous l'action de la main de l'utilisateur sur la poignée (18) ou l'encadrement, la cible étant associée à une bobine (L) placée dans un circuit oscillant en étant relié à un circuit de mesure inductif (11) détectant l'intention de verrouillage ou de déverrouillage de l'ouvrant par l'utilisateur. L'intention n'est validée que quand détectée à la fois par les capteurs capacitif et inductif, la cible du capteur inductif étant portée par l'électrode (10) du capteur capacitif et un organe (20) supportant l'électrode (10) étant déformable élastiquement sous l'action de l'utilisateur sur la poignée (18) ou l'encadrement, les circuits de mesure inductif (11) et capacitif (12) étant indépendants l'un de l'autre. The present invention relates to a device for detecting the intention of locking or unlocking an opening of a motor vehicle by a user. The device comprises a capacitive sensor and integrates an inductive sensor with a non-magnetic metal target moving under the action of the user's hand on the handle (18) or the frame, the target being associated with a coil (L) placed in an oscillating circuit by being connected to an inductive measuring circuit (11) detecting the intention of locking or unlocking of the opening by the user. The intention is only validated when detected by both the capacitive and inductive sensors, the target of the inductive sensor being carried by the electrode (10) of the capacitive sensor and a member (20) supporting the electrode (10) being elastically deformable under the action of the user on the handle (18) or the frame, the inductive (11) and capacitive (12) measurement circuits being ...
