Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007017014A1] The invention relates to an anti-pinch sensor (10, 13, 36), in particular for recognising an obstacle that obstructs an actuating element (7) of a motor vehicle (1). Said sensor comprises an electrode (17), which can be attached to a measuring potential via a signal line (26) and can be positioned opposite a counter-electrode (25) and comprises an evaluation circuit (34) for detecting the capacitance between the electrode (17) and the counter-electrode (25). The electrode (17) is sub-divided into several electrodes (35), each of which has a separate feed line (23) for connection to the measuring potential. An anti-pinch sensor of this type (10, 13, 36) has a high detection sensitivity.
