Abstract
In a pressure-sensitive sensor for detecting seizure of an object in the window frame or the like, support means ( ) is more flexible than a piezoelectric sensor ( ), and the support means ( ) is easily deformed together with the piezoelectric sensor ( ) without impeding the deformation of the piezoelectric sensor ( ), and an output signal is issued from the piezoelectric sensor ( ) depending on this deformation. Accordingly, when detecting the contact of an object with a pressure-sensitive sensor ( ) by a judging device, the pressure-sensitive sensor ( ) for generating an output signal of a sufficient magnitude for detection can be presented.
