Abstract
A door leading edge sensor has a door leading edge elastic member which is attached to a front end portion of a door in a door closing direction and includes a cavity extending in a direction intersecting with the closing direction; a linear pressure sensitive sensor is attached to the door leading edge elastic member and is disposed along the extending direction of the cavity. The pressure sensitive sensor has an insulator tube having such an elasticity as to be deformed in accordance with an elastic deformation of the door leading edge elastic member and has plural conductive members fixed to an inner surface of the insulator tube. The plural conductive members are in a non-contact state when the insulator tube is not deformed and are in contact with each other when the insulator tube is deformed.
