The present invention provides conductivity that can provide a regularity in the position and number of contacts when external force is applied to a light-weight and space-saving conductive fiber, stabilize the signal for the load, and accurately take changes in the load. Provided is a load sensing fiber using a fiber. The present invention has a conductive wire 11 provided with electrodes 14a and 14b for supplying power and partially covered with an insulating layer 13, the wire 11 being the insulating layer. 13 is a load detection fiber 1 that is placed so as to be in contact with each other through exposed portions 17 that are not covered by the insulating layer 13 when an external force is applied. Here, the wire 11 has an insulating portion 15 whose surface is partially covered by the insulating layer 13 and the exposed portion 17 that is not covered by the insulating layer 13, and extends along the longitudinal direction of the wire 11. The exposed portion 17 is disposed between the plurality of insulating portions 15. [Selection] Figure 4A |
