ABSTRACT:
A skin movement detector is disclosed which comprises a case having an opening; a pressure-sensitive element having a diaphragm portion and disposed within the case; and a contact probe, made of a soft member, for contacting a skin surface, the contact probe being attached to the case so as to cover the opening and having a projecting portion contacting the diaphragm portion; the contact probe including a plate portion adapted to contact the skin, a base portion, and a leg portion connecting the plate portion and the base portion. The skin movement detector may also include regulating means positioned at an outer periphery of the projecting portion for contacting the diaphragm support portion peripherally when a force exceeding a predetermined value is applied to the contact probe. The skin movement detector thus provides high sensitivity in all directions across the skin and prevents excessive displacement of the diaphragm.
