Patent ID: 8310250

Claim:
A probe for determining a moisture content or conductivity of a material comprising: a base body ( 1 a , 1 b , 1 b ′, 1 b ″, 1 b ′″) including at least two electrical conductors ( 3 , 4 , 3 ′, 3 ″, 4 ″, 3 ′″, 4 ′″) of which at least one ( 3 , 3 ′, 3 ″, 3 ′″) is tape-like formed, said base body ( 1 a , 1 b , 1 b ″, 1 b ′″) including an electrically insulating area ( 2 a , 2 b ; 2 a ″, 2 b ″, 2 a ′″, 2 b ′″) in which the at least one tape-like electrical conductor is disposed so that, in its transverse direction, it extends from the surface of the base body ( 1 a , 1 b , 1 b ″, 1 b ′″) into the electrically insulating area ( 2 b ; 2 a ″, 2 b ″, 2 a ′″, 2 b ′″), whereby only a side edge surface of the tape like electrical conductor is exposed at the surface of the base body for contact with the medium.
