LOAD SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18233638 titled 'LOAD SENSOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a load sensor that includes an electrode, a dielectric body, and an electrically-conductive elastic body.
- The load sensor has an electrode and a dielectric body on its surface.
- The dielectric body is opposed to an electrically-conductive elastic body.
- The electrically-conductive elastic body has electrical conductivity.
- The dielectric body decreases in thickness in the plane direction from the initial contact position with the electrically-conductive elastic body.
- The electrically-conductive elastic body has a plurality of projections on its surface facing the dielectric body.
Original Abstract Submitted
A load sensor includes: an electrode; a dielectric body disposed on a surface of the electrode; and an electrically-conductive elastic body having electrical conductivity and disposed so as to be opposed to the dielectric body. A plurality of projections are formed on a surface on the dielectric body side of the electrically-conductive elastic body, and the thickness of the dielectric body decreases in the plane direction from an initial contact position with respect to the electrically-conductive elastic body.
