ABSTRACT:
A switching device for producing a signal in response to small movements between two portions of a surface including a movable member within a housing, the movable member being biased towards a first position by a resilient yet deformable member connected to the housing. A first surface attachment member is connected to the movable member and extends outside of the housing for attachment to the surface. A second surface attachment member is mounted directly to the housing and is attachable to the surface. A switch responsive to sufficient movement of the movable member away from its first position is mounted within the housing adjacent to and in the path of the movable member. The switch is electrically connected to circuitry which can utilize the switching action of the switch which occurs when the surface is moved in such a way that the first and second surface attachment members move with respect to one another, thereby moving the movable member to operate the switch.
