Abstract:
1. A film-form seating detection switch constructed having a film-form spacer interposed, a film-form substrate arranged on one surface of the spacer, and a film-form member arranged on the other surface of the spacer, comprising: a first terminal provided in the seating detection switch; a second terminal provided in the seating detection switch spaced apart from the first terminal; a first contact arrangement including an appropriate number of contacts that are electrically conductive with the first terminal disposed on the surface of the film-form substrate facing the film-form member; a second contact arrangement including an appropriate number of contacts that are electrically conductive with the second terminal, disposed on the film-form substrate surface facing the film-form member, insulated from and substantially apart from the first contact arrangement; a third contact arrangement including an appropriate number of contacts arranged opposing the respective contacts of the first contact arrangement, disposed on the film-form member surface facing the film-form substrate, so as to be capable of coming into contact with the respective contacts of the first contact arrangement; and a fourth contact arrangement including an appropriate number of contacts arranged opposing the respective contacts of the second contact arrangement, disposed on the film-form member surface facing the film-form substrate, so as to be capable of coming into contact with the respective contacts of the second contact arrangement, wherein the appropriate contacts of the third contact arrangement and the appropriate contacts of the fourth contact arrangement become directly, mutually conductive or become mutually conductive via another contact arrangement provided on the film-form substrate and/or the film-form member.
