Abstract:
1. An entrapment detection device of an opening-closing member which opens and closes an opening portion of a vehicle body comprising: a driving power source for moving the opening-closing member; a motivity transmission member provided between the opening-closing member and the driving power source; the motivity transmission member comprising a cable which moves in accordance with actuation of the driving power source and connected to the vehicle body by a bracket; the bracket including a deformation member configured to be deformed via the motivity transmission member in accordance with the load applied to the opening-closing member during an motivity transmission operation of the opening-closing member; a strain gauge assembled to the deformation member and configured to convert a strain according to the deformation of the deformation member to an electric signal; and a control mechanism for detecting an entrapment of an external between said opening-closing member and the vehicle body object based on the electric signal from the strain gauge.
