1. A pressure sensitive sensor comprising:
a first conductive member formed into a shape having a longitudinal dimension larger than a transverse dimension, the first conductive member having conductivity and elasticity;
a second conductive member internally including a space to arrange the first conductive member, the space having a longitudinal dimension larger than a transverse dimension, the second conductive member having conductivity and elasticity; and
an insulating member having an insulating property and elasticity, the insulating member holding the first conductive member to separate the first conductive member from the second conductive member, the insulating member being arranged in the space inside the second conductive member in which the first conductive member is arranged, the insulating member being not fusion-bonded with the first conductive member, whereby the insulating member is movable relative to the first conductive member,
wherein the insulating member includes a hollow part, and neither the first conductive member nor the second conductive member is exposed to the hollow part.
