Pinch detection sensor

Abstract

A pinch detection device, for detecting the occurrence of pinch during closing of one pair of sliding doors, is composed of a first door front edge rubber to be attached to an edge portion in a closing movement direction of one sliding door of the one pair of sliding doors, and a second door front edge rubber to be attached to an edge portion in a closing movement direction of an other sliding door of the one pair of sliding doors. The first door front edge rubber includes a recessed portion, which is open toward the second door front edge rubber, with a linear shape pressure sensitive sensor, which is sensitive to a pressure in the event of pinch, being disposed in that recessed portion.
