Capacitive moisture independent crush protection

A crush protection arrangement for preventing objects or parts of a body from being trapped between at least two mutually relatively moveable parts, of which at least one part has associated therewith at least one strip which comprises at least two mutually spaced conductive elements that extend in the longitudinal direction of the strip and both of which are arranged in the strip, and also an electronic sensor system for producing an output signal as a result of external influences,

• wherein at least one first conductive element is in the form of an emitting element for sending out a signal and in that at least one second conductive element is in the form of a receiving element due to capacitive coupling with the first conductive element, wherein the second conductive element is at substantially the same electrical potential as the first conductive element and is in the form of an emitting element which likewise sends out the received signal and is connected to the electronic sensor system for the purposes of relaying a change of capacitance resulting from the external influences on the electronic sensor system.
