ABSTRACT:
A cord switch that includes a hollow flexible cord member, contact lines and a bridge conductor. The cord member includes two portions generally opposed to and spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction of the cord member. The contact lines are disposed in parallel to each other on one of the inner portions of the two portions of the cord member. The bridge conductor is disposed on the other of the two inner portions so as to be generally opposed to apart from the contact lines. When the cord member is pressed, the bridge conductor is brought into contact with the contact lines to energize the cord member. The cord switch is configured so that its neutral axis is positioned on the side of the one of two inner portions with respect to the central portion of the distance between the two wall portions. As a result, even if the cord switch is mounted at a comer portion of a window frame of a vehicle, contact between the contact lines and bridge conductor can be prevented.
