Abstract: A gear structure and a dimmer and speed control switch, wherein the gear structure includes a plurality of positioning grooves and a gear switching component, and the plurality of positioning grooves are sequentially spaced apart on the housing; the gear switching component is movably Installed on the housing, it includes a positioning component and a biasing component connected with the positioning component. The positioning component has a first position that is positioned and matched with the positioning groove and a second position separated from the positioning groove. The biasing component applies a biasing force on position component that moves it toward the first position, the gear structure mentioned above can ensure accurate gear positioning during the operation of the dimmer and speed control switch, and is not prone to misoperate, which is convenient for users, and coordinated positioning grooves and positioning parts have the advantage of simplified structure.

Abstract: A switch assembly for adapting a non-contact switch into a contact triggered switch, such that the internal electrical state of the non-contact switch can be triggered by mechanical contact with an object or surface. The switch assembly can include an adapter body coupled to the non-contact switch and an actuation body coupled to the adapter body. The actuation body can be movable relative to the adapter body to selectively position a target supported by the actuation body within a sensing region of the non-contact switch. The actuation body can be moved by an external object making contact with a portion of the actuation body.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a switching apparatus. The switching apparatus includes: a handle shaft coupled to a handle and arranged rotatable in a circumferential direction in response to an operation to the handle; and a locking plate arranged movable in a first direction in association with a rotation of the handle shaft. The handle shaft and the locking plate are operable to limit the rotation of the handle shaft when the handle shaft arrives at an off position of the switching apparatus.

Abstract: A device for switching an electric current with separable electrical contacts includes a switching mechanism including: a switching shaft that is coupled to a mobile electrical contact; a trip hook that is pivotably mounted on a fixed support of the mechanism; a linking system coupling the switching shaft to the trip hook. The linking system includes a first pair of connecting rods that are pivotably mounted on the trip hook and a second pair of connecting rods that are mounted so as to pivot with a crank of the switching shaft. The first connecting rods are connected to the second connecting rods with a single axis of articulation which forms a pivot link between the first connecting rods and the second connecting rods.

Abstract: A resin structure includes a molded resin element and a push-type switch. The push-type switch includes a receptacle whereon a first terminal and a second terminal are secured, the first terminal and the second terminal configured to connect to an electrical circuit; a button unit protruding from the receptacle; and a contact spring unit configured to move with the button unit, to electrically connect between the first terminal and the second terminal, and to generate an opposing force relative to a pressure applied between the receptacle and the button unit. The receptacle stores the button unit and the contact spring unit. The receptacle of the push-type switch is embedded in the molded resin element with the button unit exposed from the molded resin element.

Abstract: A toggle switch includes a hollow base, a switch mechanism, a cover, a bushing extending from the cover, a toggle lever, and a one piece resilient sealing component. The sealing component includes a lever seal surrounding the toggle lever and covering the inner wall of the bushing for sealing a space between the toggle lever and the bushing. A cover seal forms a lower closed sealing ring compressed between the cover and the base for sealing the cover to the base. The one piece resilient sealing component also includes an upper closed sealing ring surrounding the bushing and extending on a portion of the upper surface of the cover for cooperating with a panel for mounting the switch.

Abstract: A remote controlled light switch cover assembly is described for converting a standard rocker switch into a remote controlled switch. In one embodiment, a method is described, performed by the remote controlled light switch cover, comprising receiving a wireless signal to actuate the standard rocker switch, activating an electric motor that causes a wiper to move along a surface of the standard rocker switch, detecting when the wiper has actuated the standard rocker switch, causing the electric motor to rotate in a reverse direction from the first direction, which causes the wiper to move back towards a valley of the standard rocker switch, detecting when the wiper is positioned over the valley, and in response to detecting when the wiper is positioned over the valley, causing the electric motor to stop rotating, causing the wiper to remain positioned over the valley.
