Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3181476A1] A mechanical and electronic sensor (1) for a safety closure adapted to detect cuts and lacerations, comprising at least two layers of electrically conductive material (4) separated by a internal layer of electrically-insulating material (11) and an electronic circuitry (3) connected to each layer of electrically conductive material (4) and configured for detecting a variation of fundamental and/or derived electric magnitudes, between the two states of electrically conductive material (4), over time so as to detect a cut or laceration of the layers. In particular, the layer of electrically-insulating material (11) is made of an elastically-deformable material having a form memory so that it returns from a crushed condition towards an original condition so as to reset the initial state of the electrical magnitudes detected by the electronic circuitry (3).
