LOAD SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18731914 titled 'LOAD SENSOR
The abstract describes a load sensor comprising a first base member, a second base member, electrically-conductive elastic bodies, conductor wires, a dielectric body, and a thread for fastening the wires to the base members.
- The load sensor includes a unique arrangement of electrically-conductive elastic bodies and conductor wires.
- A dielectric body is placed between the elastic bodies and the wires to prevent interference.
- The wires are sewn to the base members in a specific stitch row pattern.
- The thread crosses over the wires to secure them in place effectively.
- The design allows for precise measurement of loads and forces applied to the sensor.
Potential Applications: - Industrial automation - Robotics - Structural health monitoring - Medical devices

Original Abstract Submitted
A load sensor includes: a first base member; a second base member; a plurality of electrically-conductive elastic bodies disposed so as to be arranged; a plurality of conductor wires crossing the plurality of electrically-conductive elastic bodies; a dielectric body disposed between the electrically-conductive elastic body and the conductor wire; and a thread configured to sew and fasten the plurality of conductor wires to the first base member or the second base member by a stitch row extending in a direction crossing an arrangement direction of the plurality of electrically-conductive elastic bodies. At a position of the stitch row, one of the conductor wires crosses or is close to another of the conductor wires. The thread is sewn so as to extend across the one conductor wire and the other conductor wire.
