Description of the Related Art As a structure of a power window having a trapping prevention mechanism, for example, there is a device described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 64-53389. According to the present invention, a sensing means such as a pressure-sensitive tube sensor for sensing an external force is provided along the inner periphery of the window frame on the indoor side, and the external force caused by the foreign matter sandwiched between the window glass and the window frame is detected by the pressure-sensitive tube sensor. And stops the drive motor for raising and lowering the window glass.

明らかになった。By the way, the inventors have confirmed the operation of the power window by using various vehicles. However, depending on the type of vehicle, the elevation of the window glass does not stop even if a foreign object is caught. Malfunction occurred. Then, the inventors continued the research and investigation and found that malfunctions occurred due to the causes described below.

態が発生する。That is, the sensing means 4 is, as described above,
When the tube 44 is pressed and deformed, the two strip electrodes 4
As shown in FIG. 9, when the external force acts obliquely so as to have a predetermined angle with respect to the electrodes, the tube 44 and the tube 44 are structurally insensitive.
A state occurs in which the two strip electrodes 41 and 42 do not contact each other even if the pressure is deformed.

態可能となり得る外力の方向の範囲（角度）をいう。Here, the following two terms are defined to facilitate the following description. 1. Sensing Range SL As shown in FIG. 2, the sensing range SL refers to a range (angle) of the direction of an external force in which the tube can be pressed and deformed to be able to be in an energized state around a centroid G of a cross section of the sensing means.

た。[0007] 2. Sensing Center SS As shown in FIG. 2, the sensing center SS refers to a direction that bisects the sensing range SL about the centroid G of the cross section of the sensing means. By the way, especially in a so-called hard-top type vehicle in which a window frame is formed by a roof and a center pillar without a vehicle door sash, the ascending and descending directions of the window glass are not uniform.
Therefore, the distance between the elevating surface of the window glass and the sensing means changes depending on the portion of the window frame. Furthermore, conventionally, the sensing means 4
Are arranged such that the direction of the sensing center SS is parallel to the elevation surface of the window glass regardless of the position of the window frame.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to reliably operate a sensing unit in a wide acting direction of an external force.
