| 20120305372 | Compact Double-Contact Secured Pushbutton Switch - A pushbutton switch comprises a plunger, which provokes, under the action of pressure by a user, the depression of an upper dome positioned above switching means, any depression of the upper dome necessarily provoking the depression of the switching means, the crest of the upper dome and the switching means having a down position, a first electric contact being produced between a primary contact and a secondary contact of the upper dome forming a first electric circuit when the crest of the upper dome is in the down position, and a second electric contact being produced between a primary contact and a secondary contact of the switching means forming a second electric circuit when the switching means are in the down position. | 12-06-2012 |
| 20130341165 | Two-Stage Switch for Surgical Device - A surgical device control assembly includes a control device operable to carry out at least two operational conditions of a surgical device and a button operatively connected to the control device. The button has a button-actuation direction in which the button actuates, an unactuated position at a rest point of the button, a first actuated position at first distance from the rest point in the button-actuation direction, and a second actuated position at a second distance further from the rest point in the button-actuation direction than the first distance. The first actuated position effects a first of the at least two operational conditions. The second actuated position effects a second of the at least two operational conditions different from the first operational condition. | 12-26-2013 |
