20090301857 | CANTILEVERED PUSH BUTTON HAVING MULTIPLE CONTACTS AND FULCRUMS - A cantilevered push button adapted for accepting an input on an electrical or electronic device is disclosed. The button can include an elongated button top component disposed about an exterior surface of an electrical or electronic device such that it is accessible to a user, and having two opposing distal ends associated with separate user inputs. A first fulcrum is located between the first distal end and the midpoint of the elongated button top component, while a second fulcrum is located between the second distal end and the midpoint. A first electrical contact is associated with the first distal end, such that when a user presses on the first distal end, the elongated button top component pivots about the second fulcrum and the first electrical contact is actuated. A second electrical contact is similarly associated with the second distal end and first fulcrum. | 12-10-2009 |
200524000 | With heart-shape cam | 4 |
20080251366 | Locking push-button switch - A locking push-button switch comprises a plunger that is displaceable relative to a component when a force is applied, wherein a latch interacting with a cardioid cam is arranged between the component and the plunger. A friction brake is assigned to the latch. | 10-16-2008 |
20100307907 | ELASTIC MEMBER AND KEY-PRESS ASSEMBLY USING THE SAME - A key-press assembly includes a PCB, an elastic member and a key-press. The PCB forms a contact section on a surface thereof. The elastic member is configured to be mounted on the PCB corresponding to the contact section and includes a pressing portion, a first extension, a second extension, a connecting portion and a trigger portion. The first extension extends out from a circumference of the pressing portion. The second extension extends out from an outer boundary of the first extension parallel to the pressing portion. The electrical connecting portion extends out from a peripheral edge of the second extension and configured to be connected to the contact section. The trigger portion is formed at a junction of the first extension and the second extension correspondingly. The key-press is mounted on the elastic member for sandwiching the elastic member with PCB. | 12-09-2010 |
20130248339 | ELECTRICAL SWITCH ARRANGEMENT - An electrical switch arrangement has a switch housing and a button guided in the switch housing. The button can be brought into two fixed switching states. A display indicates when at least one of the switching states is reached. A U-shaped spring is arranged inside the button approximately at right angles to the direction of movement the button. The spring is guided in a guide track formed in sections of the switch housing. | 09-26-2013 |
20150107980 | HEART CAM MECHANISM AND SWITCH PROVIDED WITH SAME - A heart cam mechanism of a switch includes a cam groove, which includes a heart cam and surrounding cams, and a lock pin. The heart cam has a concave part, a first vertex opposite the concave part, and second and third vertices on a concave-part side. While the switch is in a locked state, an upper end part of the lock pin is engaged with the concave part of the heart cam, and is positioned at a locking position. While the switch is pressed, the upper end part slides while pushing against a bottom surface of the cam groove located outside the heart cam, and moves along a heart-shaped path, which is depressed at the locking position. This configuration prevents an end part of the lock pin from moving in a reverse direction even when a step-like part of the bottom surface of the cam groove is worn out. | 04-23-2015 |
200525000 | With w-shape rocking element | 1 |
20090229963 | COMPOUND OPERATION INPUT DEVICE - A compound operation input device of the invention includes: a body; a switch being disposed in the body and including a contact in an arcuate cross-sectional shape; and a lever. The lever includes: a basal portion disposed on a vertex of the contact; and an operating portion being swingable in swing directions and being depressible toward the switch from a predetermined position on a swing path. The body includes an arcuate abutting portion. The lever has a protrusion being disposed above the abutting portion. The abutting portion has a recess at a position thereof corresponding to the predetermined position. When the lever makes a depressing movement from a position other than the predetermined position, the protrusion abuts against the abutting portion. When the lever makes a depressing movement from the predetermined position, the protrusion is received in the recess such that the basal portion presses the vertex of the contact. | 09-17-2009 |
200526000 | With rotating member (e.g., ball point pen type) | 3 |
20140202841 | PUSHBUTTON SWITCH - A pushbutton switch comprises a body including a barrel, a plunger longitudinally movable in the barrel, a ratchet coaxial with the plunger including a plurality of longitudinally extending camming teeth, and at least one longitudinally extending camming tooth on the plunger for engagement with the camming teeth on the ratchet, wherein the body and cover comprise a synthetic polymer material. The cover and body can comprise a glass-filled material. Further the ratchet and the plunger can comprise a polyoxymethylene (POM) plastic material. | 07-24-2014 |
200527000 | Including rotating contact | 1 |
20140008198 | PUSH BUTTON SWITCH - A push-button switch comprises a lower housing, an upper housing, four terminals, a spring, a driven wheel, and a driving wheel. The terminals are integrally molded with the upper housing and only the contact portions thereof are exposed, such that the movable contacts of an annular conductive plate face upward and remain hovering for the annular conductive plate rotating smoothly before the annular conductive plate contacts with the terminals in order to avoid a deformation and an impact damage between the terminals and the tactics contacts. | 01-09-2014 |
200528000 | Rotating cam moves contact | 1 |
20140326590 | PUSHBUTTON SWITCH HAVING A ROTATABLE DRIVE MEMBER - A pushbutton switch includes a shell body, a resilient member, and a movable unit movable relative to the shell body between an upper limit position and a lower limit position. The movable unit includes a drive member and an electrical contact member driven by the drive member to move between a plurality of contact positions and a plurality of non-contact positions. The drive member has a plurality of inclined rod-engaging surfaces. When the movable unit is moved from the upper limit position to the lower limit position, one of the rod-engaging surfaces moves on a guide rod of the shell body, thereby resulting in rotation of the drive member relative to the shell body so as to covert the electrical contact member between the contact positions and the non-contact positions. | 11-06-2014 |
