ABSTRACT:
A sensing edge for a gate to protect persons, equipment and the gate from impact damage. The sensing edge includes a mounting member which is snap-fit to the leading member of the gate and extends around a portion of the external surface of the leading member of the gate. An elongate outer sheath surrounds the mounting member and a switch is positioned between the sheath and mounting member for actuation of the device upon application of pressure to the exterior surface of the sheath. The sensing edge extends sufficiently around the leading and side edges of the leading member to permit the device to be actuated in response to forces which approach the leading member at an angle.
