摘要： A mounting frame may be configured as a self-adjusting mounting frame that biases itself against a surface of structure. The mounting frame may be a component, for example, of a remote control device or a faceplate assembly. The mounting frame may be configured to bias a rear surface of the mounting frame against the surface of a structure. The mounting frame may include biasing members. Each biasing member may include an attachment portion and a pair of resilient spring arms that suspend the attachment portion relative to a perimeter wall of the mounting frame such that the attachment portion is spaced further from the rear surface of the mounting frame than locations where the spring arms extend from the mounting frame. The rear surface of the mounting frame may be defined by the perimeter wall.

摘要： A remote-controlled switch cover assembly is described for converting an existing rocker switch into a remote-controlled switch. The remote-controlled switch cover assembly receives a wireless signal to actuate the standard rocker switch and, in response, activates an electric motor that causes a gear train to turn in a first direction. This causes a wiper to engage an under-surface of a tilt plate located above the standard rocker switch and, in response, an opposing end of the tit plate depresses the standard rocker switch.

摘要： A button, having two end portions along a particular direction that can be selectively depressed, is supported by a support member. Pins are formed on the support member at locations corresponding to the respective two end portions of the button, the axes of the pins being perpendicular to the direction of depressing of the button. Elongate apertures are formed on the button in locations corresponding to the respective pins, the elongate apertures configured to have the pins slidably fitted therein and having their lengthwise directions generally parallel to the direction of depressing. A biasing unit is further provided to bias the button in a direction opposite to the direction of depressing. When the button is in a neutral condition, the button is biased by the biasing unit so that the pins are located respectively on one side of the elongate apertures. When one of the two end portions of the button is depressed, the button swings against the biasing force of the biasing unit using the pin located on the other of the two end portions of the button as the supporting point.

摘要： [A] remote control button assembly with a combined type button arrangement structure of a front button and a side button capable of effectively using a front surface engaging region and a lateral surface engaging region of a steering wheel. [Even] when the number of the buttons is increased, it is possible to achieve enough engaging area and sufficient button size for each button so that each button can function effectively and not be too small for the driver. Therefore, handling and operation ability of each button is enhanced. The remote control button assembly built into a steering wheel according to the present invention includes at least more than three front buttons provided on a front surface of a steering wheel, and at least one side button provided in a lower portion of a lateral surface of one side of the engaging region in which the front buttons are provided.
