Abstract
A device for recognizing a movement of an object caught in a door of a vehicle includes a carrier element, to which a first electrical conductor is fastened. Furthermore, the device includes an elastic object-contact element, to which a second electrical conductor is fastened. The elastic object-contact element is connected to the carrier element such that, when the caught object is pulled in a selected sensing direction, the first electrical conductor and the second electrical conductor are brought into contact with each other.
Claims25
A device for recognizing a movement of an object caught in a door of a vehicle, the device comprising:
- a carrier element, to which a first electrical conductor is fastened;
- and
- an elastic object contact element, to which a second electrical conductor is fastened,
- wherein the elastic object-contact element is connected to the carrier element such that, when the caught object is pulled in a selected sensing direction, the first and second electrical conductors are contacted with each other.
A detection system comprising:
- a device for recognizing a movement of an object caught in a door of a vehicle, wherein the device includes a carrier element, to which a first electrical conductor is fastened, and an elastic object-contact element, to which a second electrical conductor is fastened, wherein the elastic object-contact element is connected to the carrier element such that, when the caught object is pulled in a selected sensing direction, the first and second electrical conductors are contacted with each other;
- and
- an evaluation device designed to recognize a movement of the object caught in the door of the vehicle in the event of a recognized electrical contact between the first conductor and second conductor.
A method for recognizing a movement of an object caught in a door of a vehicle, wherein the method comprises:
- detecting an electrical contact between the first conductor and the second conductor;
- and
- outputting a recognition signal for signaling the movement of the object caught in the door of the vehicle in response to the detection of the electrical contact.
