Abstract
A device is disclosed which is useful to generate electric signals particularly in close quarters. The preferred embodiment is described in terms of a piezoelectric signal generator incorporated into the beltline trim of an automobile and an alternate configuration in a flat sheet metal application. The invention is discussed in terms of its ability to take advantage of already existing structural elements of its host body and its ability to be attached without putting holes in such structure.
