  • Method for manufacturing a continuous-length switch
    Patent number: 6898842
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a continuous-length switch that comprises first and second electrodes. The method comprises covering at least a first surface of a first electrode with an insulating material. Then, a portion of the insulating material from the first surface of the first electrode is removed so as to provide an exposed portion of the first electrode. And then, a second electrode is placed on the insulating material and over the exposed portion of the first electrode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 7, 2002
    Date of Patent: May 31, 2005
    Assignee: Tokyo Sensor Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Takeshi Kasahara, Uhei Arakawa, Toshiaki Horikoshi, Takaki Natsugiri

  • Continuous-length switch
    Patent number: 6455793
    Abstract: Disclosed is a continuous-length switch that comprises first and second electrode plates. Along side regions of one of the electrode plates are provided conductive regions. Extending from these conductive regions are protrusions. Positioned between the conductive portions and the protrusions are non-conductive portions defined by holes. The protrusions either expand or contract to allow for a bending or winding of the switch to be performed without any buckling of the electrode plates.
