| 200860500 | FOOT OPERATED | 10 |
| 20090200143 | ARRANGEMENT FOR INFLUENCING DEVICE FUNCTIONS BY MEANS OF A FOOT MOVEMENT - An apparatus for triggering, changing or ending device functions by means of foot movements can include a resting surface for the sole of a foot and at least one switch, arranged in the region of the resting surface and at a fixed distance from the resting surface, for closing or | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090205937 | Foot switch for electromedical apparatus and method of manufacturing such a foot switch - An actuating device for an electromedical apparatus and in particular a foot switch. The foot switch includes a floor part, at least one pedal part that is tiltably connected to the floor part, and at least one switch element that is actuated by the pedal part. Further, at least the floor part is manufactured by one of an extrusion-coating method or a casting method such that at least a portion of the floor part is fully coated by a coating material. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100089728 | MULTIFUNCTIONAL FOOT SWITCH - A multifunctional foot switch is disclosed. The foot switch has two or more actuation elements, arranged such that the operator of the foot switch may select various devices functionally connected to the foot switch merely be repositioning the foot. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100230259 | PEDAL INPUT DEVICE WITH THREE ROTATIONAL DEGREES OF FREEDOM - A pedal input device includes a base plate; a rotation center portion provided at the center of the base plate; a contacting plate having a yaw switch contacting portion protruding downwards from lower surface of the contacting plate; a pedal plate carried by the contacting plate and foot-operated so as to cause a drive member to make three-degree-of-freedom movement; a pair of pitch switches installed on the base plate in an opposing relationship with each other; a pair of roll switches installed on the base plate in an perpendicular relationship to the pitch switches so that the roll switches can be alternately contacted to the contacting plate of the pedal plate; and a pair of yaw switches installed on the base plate in an spaced-apart relationship with each other so that the yaw switches can be alternately contacted to the yaw switch contacting portion as the pedal plate rotates. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100326800 | Switching Device, Especially Floor Switch, for a Production Device - The invention describes a switching device which can be variably positioned ( | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110011708 | Foot-Activated Controller for Medical System - A medical system ( | 01-20-2011 |
| 20120211337 | FOOT-OPERATED SWITCH | 08-23-2012 |
| 20130168212 | FOOT SWITCH HAVING SECURITY MECHANISM - A foot switch having a security mechanism includes a main body, a circuit board, a pedal and a latch. The circuit board is received in the main body. The pedal is provided on the main body. The latch is provided adjacent to the pedal. The pedal is electrically connected to the circuit board via the latch. When the patch and the pedal are pressed, the circuit board is electrically connected to the pedal. The pedal can only generate an unlocking action via the latch, whereby the circuit board is electrically connected to the pedal to output a driving signal. Thus, the foot switch of the present invention can be prevented from being stepped on by mistake, thereby enhancing the safety in use. | 07-04-2013 |
| 20150114808 | ERGONOMIC FOOT SWITCH - A switch is provided including an actuating body and a base where the actuating body is movably disposed upon the base, the actuating body has an arcuate shape delimited by generally parallel arc edges joined at their ends by curved edges, the actuating body includes an upper surface which inclines in a direction from a concave side of the arcuate shaped actuating body to a convex side thereof, and the actuating body is configured to pivot in a direction toward at least one of the end curved edges. | 04-30-2015 |
| 20150122619 | ACTUATION OF A BODY-BORNE SWITCH BY A BODY GESTURE - A wearable or body-borne switch is actuated by a body gesture. The switch is coupled to a mechanical linkage that links two distinct body locations. Specific body gestures cause changes in the distance between the two body locations, inducing forces within the linkage, and, in turn, actuating the switch. The switches are actuated without the need for manual operation by the user, special electronic processors, sensors, motors, batteries, or the like. | 05-07-2015 |
