When the sensor touch plate 4 approaches the first proximity switch 6, the pressure plate 3 releases the pressure cover 15. The first proximity switch 6 and the second proximity switch 8 then provide feedback signals to the controller.

[0028] Of course, the present invention has many other embodiments.
