ABSTRACT:
An electrical path or angle sensor comprises a first, stationary contact segment, a plurality of stationary, second contact segments arranged one behind the other and separated from one another by dividing gaps, these second contact segments being connected to circuit elements, a sliding contact movable in a predetermined direction of movement and displaceable over the contact segments and the dividing gaps dependent on the path or angle, as well as contact tongues formed on the sliding contact and movable therewith, these tongues being aligned with their contact-making points in a contact line and when the sliding contact is moved connecting the first contact segment each time with at least one of the second contact segments in an electrically conductive manner by this line. Either the dividing gaps between the second contact segments or the contact line extend at an inclined angle to the direction of movement of the sliding contact so that in all positions of the latter an electrical connection is ensured between the first contact segment and at least one of the second contact segments.
