  • Patent number: 9040839
    Abstract: A wiring body connection structure includes a first wiring body and a second wiring body, the first wiring body having a first base material made of an elastomer and a first wiring containing an elastomer and a conductive material, the second wiring body having a second base material and a second wiring. In the wiring body connection structure, a laminated section is partitioned where a first end of the first wiring body and a second end of the second wiring body overlap in a front-rear direction. The wiring body connection structure further includes a cover member arranged on a front surface of the first wiring body, and a conductive adhesive layer bonding the first end and the second end in the laminated section while ensuring a conductive property. The cover member is interposed between a frontmost end of the second end and the first wiring in the laminated section.

  • Publication number: 20120218029
    Abstract: A touch switch including: a conductive member for which voltage is applied from a plurality of locations for detecting presence or absence of a touch and a touch position on the conductive member of a conductor to be detected based on an electrical conduction status of the conductive member; and a detection-level changing mechanism for changing a detection level of the electrical conduction status of the conductive member due to the touch of the conductor on the conductive member. The presence or absence of the touch and the touch position on the conductive member of the conductor is detected if the detection level meets a predetermined condition.
