  • Publication number: 20230314183
    Abstract: A sensor unit is attachable to an attachment target so as to be partly accommodated, from one side in a first direction, in a hole opening out at least in the one side in a first direction of the attachment target. The unit includes a detection sensor capable of detecting approach of a detection target from the other side in the first direction, and at least one cushion covering the detection sensor at least partly from the other side in the first direction and may be at least partly accommodated in the hole. The at least one cushion is at least partly accommodated in the hole of the attachment target in a state where the sensor unit is attached to the attachment target from the one side in the first direction.

  • Patent number: 11747944
    Abstract: A touch sensing device including a sensor and a water shielding layer. The sensor is a capacitive, resistive, or optical touch sensor and is configured to detect a detection target approaching the sensor from one side in a first direction. The first direction is a thickness direction of the sensor. The water shielding layer is composed of waterproof elastic substance, is disposed on the one side in the first direction relative to the sensor, and covers at least part of the sensor.

  • Patent number: 10953638
    Abstract: A plastic laminate structure including layers laminated together, a functional element being an electrode, a display element, an antenna, or a sensor on a second layer of the layers, conductive lines on the second layer, and a dummy conductor on one of the layers. The layers include a first layer of a plastic material and the second layer fixed to the first layer. The first conductive lines are connected to the functional element. The dummy conductor surrounds the functional element and the conductive lines. Each conductive line includes a parallel portion forming at least part of each conductive line. First and second distances are each 500 ?m or less. The first distance is a distance in the array direction between the parallel portions. The second distance is a distance between the endmost conductive line and the dummy conductor in a plane direction extending along a face of the second layer.

  • Patent number: 10556399
    Abstract: A plastic laminate structure including a plurality of, or a plurality of kinds of, plastic layers and an adhesive layer. The plastic layers are laminated together in a first direction. All the plastic layers are comprised exclusively of extruded plastic layers. The adhesive layer affixes together two of the plastic layers that are adjacent to each other in the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20190064961
    Abstract: A plastic laminate structure accommodatable in a casing with an opening. The plastic laminate structure includes a base film made of a plastic material, at least one intermediate layer and a plastic layer. The base film includes outer and inner faces. The outer face has an exposed region externally visible through the opening of the casing. The inner face includes a first region corresponding to the exposed region. The at least one intermediate layer has an external size equal to or larger than that of the first region, and is laminated on the inner face of the base film so as to cover the entire first region of the inner face of the base film. The plastic layer is fixed to both the inner face of the base film and the intermediate layer, or alternatively to the intermediate layer, so as to cover the at least one intermediate layer.

  • Publication number: 20180162029
    Abstract: A film insert molded article including a film insert and a molded plastic body. The film insert includes a first and a second main face on one and the other sides, respectively, in the thickness direction and a side face extending from the first to the second face. The molded plastic body includes a main body, which is fixed directly to the first main face, and a fixing portion with a cross section in the thickness direction of generally inverted L-shape. The fixing portion includes a first and a second fixing portion. The first fixing portion extends from the main body along the side face of the film insert and is fixed directly to a part or whole of the side face. The second fixing portion extends from the first fixing portion along the second main face and is fixed directly to the end portion of the second main face.
