[origin: EP0936645A2] The sensor used in a push button switch that has an input in the form of a spring strip (16) with a curved section (14) that is deformed under the action of finger presence and has a snap action. The spring interacts capacitively with surfaces (18) on a base. When the finger is removed the switch turns off with an audible snap action. An Independent claim is included for an application of the sensor switch e.g. for electric cooker.
