Obstacle detector system including an improved connection assembly

A detector system for detecting an obstacle interposed between a frame and an associated moving member, the system being of the type comprising an obstacle detector device including at least two electrically conductive tracks held apart at rest by resilient flexible means, said obstacle detector device being supported on at least one of said frame or said associated moving member, wherein the system further includes a connection assembly comprising:

• a support core made of electrically insulating material;
• at least two separate electrically conductive elements carried by the support core and intended to make contact with respective ones of the tracks when the core is interposed between them;
• and
• envelope means suitable for engaging the outside surface of the obstacle detector device in order to clamp said obstacle detector device against the support core and its electrically conductive elements in order to maintain electrical contact between the tracks and these elements and also in order to seal the detector device,
• wherein the envelope means comprise a box including a plate supporting the core and a main socket suitable for surrounding the detector device.

An obstacle detector system for detecting an obstacle interposed between a frame and an associated moving member, the system being of the type comprising an obstacle detector device including a flexible and deformable elongate body made of electrically insulating material provided with at least two electrically conductive tracks held apart at rest by resilient flexible means, said flexible and deformable body being placed on a support fixed to said frame, wherein the system further includes a connection assembly comprising:

• a support core made of electrically insulating material;
• at least two separate electrically conductive elements carried by the support core and intended to make contact with respective ones of the tracks when the core is interposed between them;
• and
• envelope means suitable for engaging the outside surface of the obstacle detector device in order to clamp said obstacle detector device against the support core and its electrically conductive elements in order to maintain electrical contact between the tracks and these elements and also in order to seal the detector device, and
• a rigid decorative component which is movable relative to the frame and adapted to cover said flexible and deformable elongate body and to compress said resilient flexible means when the rigid decorative component is moved relative to the frame so as to push in contact said two electrically conductive tracks.
