Abstract

Die bewegliche Elektrode der Schalteinrichtung besteht aus einem flexiblen, zusammendrückbaren Kontaktgewebe (1) mit leitenden und nichtleitenden Drähten (2, 3). Die leitenden Drähte (2) erstrecken sich in der einen Webrichtung und verlaufen wenigstens annähernd in einer Ebene. Demgegenüber sind die in der anderen Webrichtung sich erstreckenden nichtleitenden Drähte (3) um die leitenden Drähte (2) gebogen, so dass sie die leitenden Drähte (2) im Abstand zu einer am Kontaktgewebe (1) anliegenden Flachelektrode (4) halten. Durch Zusammendrücken des Kontaktgewebes (1) werden die leitenden Drähte (2) biegeelastisch verformt, wobei die an diesen entstehenden Wellenrücken an die Gewebeoberfläche gelangen und dadurch mit der Flachelektrode (4) in Kontakt kommen. The movable electrode of the switching device consists of a flexible, compressible contact fabric (1) with conductive and non-conductive wires (2, 3). The conductive wires (2) extend in one weaving direction and at least run approximately in one plane. In contrast, they are in the other weaving direction extending non-conductive wires (3) bent around the conductive wires (2) so that they are the conductive Wires (2) at a distance from one lying against the contact fabric (1) Hold the flat electrode (4). By squeezing the Contact fabric (1), the conductive wires (2) are flexible deformed, the resulting wave back get to the tissue surface and thereby with the Flat electrode (4) come into contact.

Eine derartige Schalteinrichtung zeichnet sich durch einen einfachen Aufbau und eine geringe Bauhöhe aus. Such a switching device is characterized by a simple structure and a low overall height.
