Cord switch and pressure sensor
First Claim
1. A pressure sensor characterized in that a cord switch is used in which 4n wire electrodes (n represents a positive integer) are spirally arranged along the inner surface of an insulator hollowed in the cross section, which comprises a restorative rubber or plastic material, in the longitudinal direction in a situation where said wire electrodes are not electrically contacted each other, and said wire electrodes are fixed to said hollowed insulator in a state where the wire electrodes are projected from said insulator;
- in one end of said cord switch, a power supply is connected between said two wire electrodes, and a current adjusting resistor is connected between other two said wire electrodes;
in other end of said cord switch, said wire electrodes are connected each other to form a serial circuit comprising said power supply, said current adjusting resistor and said wire electrodes.

Abstract
In order to provide a cord switch which can securely catch the ON/OFF operations, can cancel an erroneous operation by preventing the contact between electrodes caused by bending of the cord switch, and have a positive sensibility for the pressurization in all directions and a high reliability, at least two wire electrodes are spirally arranged along the inner surface of an insulator which is hollowed in the cross section and comprises a restorative rubber or plastic material in the longitudinal direction in a situation where the wire electrodes are not electrically contacted each other, and the wire electrodes are fixed to the hollowed insulator in a state where the wire electrodes are projected from the insulator.
