    摘要: A switch assembly including an actuator assembly operable to magnetically latch a switch in a closed position, where the actuator assembly includes a cup member coupled to the drive rod opposite to the switch and an opening spring positioned within the cup member and being held in compression when the switch is latched closed, and where the cup member includes a central opening. The switch assembly further includes a scissor link having a first leg and a second leg pivotally attached at a pivot point, where one end of the first and second legs extend into the central opening and are rigidly attached to the cup member and an opposite end of the first and second legs extend through the cover, and where pulling the link away from the actuator assembly breaks the magnetic latch and opens the switch.

    摘要: A circuit breaker is configured to ensure electrical safety when working on its circuits. The circuit breaker comprises a housing with an exterior boundary. The housing includes an “integrated” or “pre-installed” Lock-Off feature extending away from the exterior boundary. The Lock-Off feature having a hole that is configured to receive a shackle or a shank of a padlock. The circuit breaker further comprises a built-in Lock-Off mechanism including a handle integrated with the housing using a pivot such that the handle is configured to pivot relative to the hole in the Lock-Off feature. The built-in Lock-Off mechanism in combination with the Lock-Off feature is configured to prevent the handle from being turned ON with the use of the padlock. The padlock prevents the handle from rotating on its pivot such that the padlock disables the circuit breaker from turning ON by impeding the handle from rotating to an ON-position.

    摘要: A rolling-ball tilt switch includes a conductive housing having an inner surface that surrounds a longitudinal axis and that defines a roller cavity, an insulating seat inserted into the roller cavity, a conductive terminal having a protruding section extending through the insulating seat into the roller cavity, and a ball unit disposed in the roller cavity and moveable between a conducting position and a non-conducting position. The longitudinal axis and an extension of a surface portion of the inner surface of the conductive housing cooperatively define a first angle that ranges from 2 to 12 degrees.

    摘要: A key preloading structure including a base, a set of switches and a set of keys is provided. The set of switches is arranged on the base. The set of keys has a rotating shaft and two actuators. The rotating shaft is assembled on the base. One end of each actuator is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and another end is disposed on a switch of the set of switches. Each of the two actuators preloads the set of switches with a force less than a triggering force for starting the set of switches.

    摘要: Handle assemblies for circuit breakers are disclosed. One illustrative handle assembly includes a housing defining a first aperture, a seal extending around a perimeter of the first aperture, a handle extending outwardly through the first aperture and pivotable about a pivot axis located within the housing, a shroud coupled to the handle to move therewith and located at least partially within the housing, and a biasing member connected to the handle and to the shroud. The shroud includes an outer surface that faces the seal, and the biasing member biases the outer surface into continuous engagement with the seal throughout an entire pivotable range of the handle.

    摘要: A handlebar assembly is basically provided with a handlebar and a support. The handlebar has an outer circumferential surface and an arrangement area disposed inside the outer circumferential surface. The arrangement area is configured to arrange an electric switch unit at least partially inside the outer circumferential surface. The support is at least partially disposed in the arrangement area and supporting the electric switch unit to receive an operating force applied to operate the electric switch unit.

    摘要: A lever switch which is capable of preventing loud operating noise from being generated during stepwise operation of an operating lever. The lever switch has a case, a click feeling generator placed inside the case, and a switch moving body placed inside the case and rotated with respect to the case by operating the operating lever. The click feeling generator has trough portions that abut against a convex portion of the switch moving body. Click feelings are given by the convex portion of the switch moving body sequentially abutting against the trough portions in response to stepwise operations of the operating lever. The convex portion of the switch moving body is urged toward the click feeling generator. The click feeling generator and the case are placed away from each other with a space left between them in a direction in which the first case is urged.

    摘要: A switch device which is capable of ensuring mounting strength of an additional member while ensuring ease of operation. The switch device has an operating knob that transmits an input operation to a switch unit with an electric contact, and a housing that houses a switch unit. The housing that houses the switch unit has an opening via which the switch unit and the operating knob face each other. The housing has a water prevention wall installed in a standing manner to surround the opening. The operating knob has a box-shaped base member with one end thereof opened. An additional member with at least one insertion portion which is inserted into a through hole of the base member is mounted on the base member. The insertion portion extends to cross a standing direction of the water prevention wall, and as seen in the standing direction, the insertion portion and the opening are located away from each other.

    摘要: A touchpad module includes a circuit board and a switch assembly. The switch element includes a conductive element and a metal dome. The conductive element is capable of providing buffering efficacy. The conductive element is arranged between the circuit board and the metal dome. When the metal dome is subjected to deformation, the metal dome does not collide with the circuit board to generate the click sound directly. Consequently, the comfort of operating the touchpad module is enhanced. The present invention further provides a computing device with the touchpad module.
