A method and a system for checking the correct rail position of a guide member of a guided vehicle. The system is based on the use of an electrical switch designed to cooperate with a guide member of the vehicle guided by at least one guide rail. The switch has two states, respectively a first state and a second state. In one of the states the electrical switch is open and in the other state the electrical switch is closed. The switch is mounted on a load-bearing structure such that it is able to interact with the guide member. The switch is able to switch from the first state to the second state by interacting with at least one part of the guide member. |

A pivotable key structure includes a housing body, a pivotable unit, a switch module, and a carrier. The pivotable unit has a touchpad module and a pivotable member. The pivotable member is engaged to the touchpad module thereunder. The pivotable member is disposed on the carrier through two pivot axle as a pivot point to relatively pivot on the carrier. The carrier has a switch module corresponding to two pivot axles. The pivotable member has two operating portions which are protrusions, each respectively correspond to the switch module. The housing body has an opening so that the pivotable member can pivot horizontally and be exposed through the opening. Thereby, through the pivoting movements of the pivotable unit toward the switch module, the operating protrusions can contact the switch module and generate a corresponding control signal. |

The inventive control element is provided with a mechanical actuator (8) and an electrical or electromechanical switching element (3;4), whereby the switching element (3;4) comprising of at least one push button (5;6) reacting upon pressure. Thereby, the actuator (8) is arranged elastically or resiliently relocatable or tiltable with respect to the switching element (3;4) or the push button (5;6) respectively and an actuating cam (10;11) is further provided at the actuator (8) facing the push button (5;6), whereby the actuator (8) and the switching element (3;4) are not directly connected to each other. The dividing of the control element into two parts, one mechanical actuating part (8) and one electrical switching part (3;4), permits the replacement or exchange only of the mechanical actuating (8) part without any influence to the electrical switching part (3;4). The replacement or exchange therefore may take place without the need of desoldering of the electrical switching part (3;4) from its printed circuit board or from its connected wires. |

A rotary switch includes a keylock housing having a collar disposed therein and a rotor disposed in a switch case housing to provide an internal labyrinth geometry. The collar includes a plurality of spaced mechanical stops to provide multiple mechanical travel options determined by the orientation with which the collar is disposed in the housing. Thus the stop collar may be disposed in the keylock housing in a plurality of different orientations with each of the orientations providing a keylock mechanism disposed in the keylock housing with a corresponding mechanical travel. The internal labyrinth geometry provided by the rotor-switch case housing assembly increases the electrical path length through which an electric charge must travel. Thus, the rotor-switch case housing assembly provides the rotary switch with protection from electrostatic discharge. |

In connection with a switch arrangement for circuit-making and circuit-breaking, as well as for controlling the speed of, electric machines it is proposed to provide a double-pole circuit-maker and circuit-breaker safety switch and to connect it in series with the motor connections in such a manner that in a first switching position of the double-pole safety switch the connection to mains is established while in the other switching position at least one motor field winding is short-circuited with the armature winding by an actuating element provided in common for the two partial change-over switches, by changing the polarity for instantaneous braking, there being provided a separate speed-setting selector switch which can be operated independently of the saftey switch and which is designed to permit presetting of a motor cut-out position which enables the motor to run out freely when the safety switch does not respond separately or when the device is not opened to cause the safety switch to respond. |

A switch comprises a dielectric housing having electrical contact members secured in a base thereof with one of the contact members including a stationary contact section and the other of the contact members having a movable contact section. The contact sections are disposed in a profiled arcuate inner surface formed by the base and resilient sections of the housing. A dielectric actuator having a cavity and an external arcuate surface mates with the arcuate inner surface. The surfaces are movable relative to each other when the actuator has been mounted on the housing with the contact sections being disposed in the cavity. The resilient sections of the housing maintain the actuator on the housing. The movable contact section is disposed in a section of the actuator cavity and is movable into and out of electrical engagement with the stationary contact section upon movement of the actuator from one position to another position. A detent arrangement is provided between the actuator and the housing to maintain the actuator in either position. |
