Abstract
A flexible electric switch comprising two sheets of
resiliently-flexible electrically-insulating material moulded
onto one face of each of which is a woven or expanded
electrically-conductive material wherein one of the sheets is
moulded with spacing elements which project through the
electrically-conductive material on its face, the arrangement
being such that when the two sheets are assembled with said
one face of each of which opposed one to the other these
faces are held apart by the spacing elements until pressure is
applied across the sheets causing said one faces to be
brought into contact one with the other between the spacing
elements and thereby intercontacting the electrically-
conductive material on said one faces.
