| 200529000 | Mechanism to transfer reciprocating to rotary or rocking | 7 |
| 20090114517 | Switch, particularly window lifter switch - In a switch, particularly a window lifter switch, with a housing, a switching rocker which is mounted in the housing and is associated with electrical contacts, and with a button which is likewise mounted in the housing, the button is acted upon elastically so that it is mounted free from play in the housing. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20130327624 | ELECTRICAL DEVICE WITH AXIAL CONTROL - Electrical device with axial control, such as switch, double-pole switch, toggle switch, inverter or the like, including a box-like containment structure ( | 12-12-2013 |
| 20140069794 | Systems and Methods for Providing Inputs to an Electronic Device with a Button Assmebly - This is directed to systems and methods for providing inputs to an electronic device with a button assembly. In some embodiments, a button assembly may include a button having distinguishable regions, limbs, and a set of switches positioned adjacent the button, where at least one of the switches is activated when one of the regions is actuated. In some embodiments, a button assembly may span a support member of a housing, and may be at least partially secured in an opening of the housing by bracket. In these embodiments, the button assembly may be operative to rotate about an axis in response to a user interaction event to activate a switch. | 03-13-2014 |
| 20140116868 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a housing, a switch, a button member and a supporting portion. The housing has an opening. The button member includes an operating portion, a rocker shaft and an acting portion. The operating portion is exposed through the opening. The shaft is coupled to the operating portion and pivotable. The acting portion is coupled to the shaft, configured to face the switch and to pivot about the shaft, thereby pressing the switch. The supporting portion is configured to support the button member, the supporting portion being configured to be elastically deformed by part of the button member and to return the button member. | 05-01-2014 |
| 20140190812 | PUSH SWITCH - A rotor on which a moving contact is attached is received and rotatably held in a body, and a knob is received and held in the body side by side with the rotor and is movable. A plurality of first and second teeth are circumferentially staggered with each other on an outer perimeter surface of the rotor near one end and near the other end, respectively, in the direction of the axis of the rotor to project from the surface. An inclined surface is formed in each of the first and second teeth. A projecting part is formed on the knob to project toward the rotor. In response to a depression of the knob, the projecting part pushes the inclined surface of the second teeth to rotate the rotor and, in response to a return of the knob, pushes the inclined surface of the first teeth to rotate the rotor. | 07-10-2014 |
| 20140202842 | PUSH BUTTON SWITCH - A push button switch including a base having a contact disposition surface on which a plurality of fixed contacts are positioned around a circle, a rotor rotatably disposed on the base about a rotating shaft passing through a center of the circle, the rotor including a plurality of movable contacts positioned to come into contact with and separate from the plurality of fixed contacts about the rotating shaft, a push button adjoined to an outer peripheral surface of the rotor and movably disposed in a direction orthogonal to the rotating shaft of the rotor, the push button being configured to rotate the rotor by a push operation; | 07-24-2014 |
| 20140216910 | PUSH SWITCH - In an initial state where a push rod is pressed down, a base of a movable contact point board supporting a movable contact point makes contact with inclined protruding portions of a moving block by a second spring to be inclined. When the movable contact point makes contact with a fixed contact point following the projecting of the push rod, the base makes contact with stoppers. Thereafter, since the moving block alone rises, the movable contact point board rotates following the end edges of the stoppers according to release of the pressing by the protruding portion. Thereby the movable contact point largely slides and is displaced to the fixed contact point. | 08-07-2014 |
