Claim:
1. A cable switch comprising: a first base member of a band shape provided with a conductor on an inner surface thereof; and a second base member facing the first base member, and including a flat positive electrode and a negative electrode, the positive electrode being provided on one side of an inner surface thereof and the negative electrode being provided on another side of the inner surface, a gap being formed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode for separating and insulating the positive electrode and the negative electrode from each other; wherein generally rectangular windows arranged at predetermined intervals are formed in a length direction by means of a spacer provided between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, thereby allowing for electrical conduction between the positive electrode and the negative electrode via the conductor; and wherein the positive and negative electrodes are configured such that adjacent conductive points thereof are avoided proximate centers of the generally rectangular windows, such that initiation of the electrical conduction by bending of the cable switch about an axis perpendicular to the length direction is inhibited without preventing initiation of the electrical conduction by finder pressing the first and second base members together.
