PROTECTOR WITH TOUCH SENSOR

To provide a protector with a touch sensor that reduces a pinching load acting on a foreign object in a state where pinching of the foreign object is detected.SOLUTION: A protector 30 with a touch sensor is arranged on a peripheral edge of an opening provided in a vehicle or on a peripheral edge of an opening/closing body configured to open and close the opening. The protector includes a detection part 32 configured to detect pinching of a foreign object between the opening and the opening/closing body and a load reduction part 33 configured to reduce a pinching load acting on the foreign object. The detection part 32 includes an outline 321 having a space H on the inner peripheral side, and conductive bodies 322 provided at a peripheral edge on the inner peripheral side of the outline 321 in a state where the space H is interposed between the conductive bodies 322. The conductive bodies are brought into contact with each other when pinching a foreign object occurs and thereby the outline 321 is compressed and deformed. The two conductive bodies 322 are brought into contact with each other and thereby the load reduction part 33 is more easily compressed and deformed than the detection part 32 in a state where pinching the foreign object is detected by the detection part 32.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】異物の挟み込みを検知した状態において異物に作用する挟み込み荷重を抑制できるタッチセンサ付きプロテクタを提供する。【解決手段】タッチセンサ付きプロテクタ３０は、車両に設けられる開口の周縁または前記開口を開閉する開閉体の周縁に設けられるタッチセンサ付きプロテクタ３０であって、開口と開閉体との間に異物が挟まれたことを検知する検知部３２と、異物に作用する挟み込み荷重を抑制する荷重低減部３３と、を備える。検知部３２は、内周側に空間部Ｈを有する外郭３２１と、外郭３２１の内周側の周縁において空間部Ｈを介して設けられ、異物の挟み込みによって外郭３２１が圧縮変形することで互いに接触する２つの導電体３２２と、を有する。２つの導電体３２２が接触することで検知部３２が異物の挟み込みを検知している状態において、荷重低減部３３は検知部３２よりも圧縮変形しやすい。【選択図】図２
