1. A method of manufacturing an area actuated switch assembly comprising the steps of:

  • (a) forming two conductive patterns, each on a portion of a flexible insulating substrate means, each pattern having at least two sets of evenly spaced, elongated conductors, the conductors of one set intersecting the conductors of a second set forming a plurality of surfaces on the substrate means defined by the intersecting conductors, the conductors of the one pattern being alignable with the conductors of the other pattern,(b) forming a plurality of insulating spacer areas on said substrate means, at least one on each surface defined by the intersecting conductors of at least one conductive pattern,(c) forming an adhesive over each of said spacer areas, and(d) placing the substrate so that one conductive pattern overlies and faces the other conductive pattern, aligning the conductors of the one pattern with the conductors of the other pattern and contacting said insulating spacer areas of the one pattern with corresponding surfaces of the other pattern in proper registration to form said switch assembly.
