A safety device for a cantilevered beam pivotally mounted adjacent one end thereof to a support surface is adapted to bridge the beam and the support surface and is structured so that when coupled to the beam and support surface, the safety device maintains the beam in a substantially fixed cantilevered condition until a downward force exceeding a threshold is applied to the beam and thereafter controls downward pivoting of the beam.

A method of assembling a touch panel including a support structure and a conductive membrane, the support structure having a conductive surface and a peripheral insulating spacer about the conductive surface. The conductive membrane overlies the peripheral insulating spacer separating the conductive membrane and the conductive surface thereby to define an air gap therebetween. The method comprises tensioning the conductive membrane prior to securing to the insulating spacer; and securing the tensioned conductive membrane to the insulating spacer.

Method of making tensioned touch panel

A tensioned touch panel includes a support structure having a substrate with a generally planer conductive surface disposed thereon and an insulating spacer generally about the periphery of the substrate. A pretensioned conductive member overlies the support structure. The spacer separates the conductive membrane and the conductive surface thereby to define an air gap therebetween. A conductive membrane is secured to the support structure under sufficient tension to inhibit slack from developing in the conductive membrane as a result of changes in environmental conditions. A method of assembling a tensioned touch panel is also provided.
