81 Handle for doors or hinged flaps of vehicles US10564343 2004-07-06 US20060180447A1 2006-08-17 Erkan Korultay; Marion Kilian
The invention relates to a handle with an integrated switch (20) for doors or hinged flaps of vehicles. The push-button switch is essentially made up of two components which can be fitted together. The first component (21) is made of a single-pieced injection-moulding product made of three plastic components which comprise a solid covering-shaped housing and an elastic membrane. Said membrane closes the housing cover (22) at the base on one end thereof, thus giving the component (21) a shell shape. A solid pressure activator (24) on the membrane (23) is used as the third plastic component. The second component (31) is formed from a circuit board (33) comprising connected cables (19) and a microswitch (30) mounted thereon. The second component (31) is inserted into the inside of a shell (26) of the first component (21). The circuit board (33) is oriented towards the shell opening (28) and is projected from the edge of the shell (43) of the shell-shaped component (21). Said connecting area of both components (21, 31) is secured by a safety plate (37) which covers at least the inserted circuit board (33) in certain areas. The remaining part of the shell edge of the shell-shaped component (21) is used as a mould and becomes a sealing compound (48) which closes the shell opening (28) after hardening.
82 Manual reset switch cover assembly US11253365 2005-10-19 US20060086600A1 2006-04-27 Kenneth Hillman
The present invention is concerned with cover assemblies for manually resetting pressure switches used on oil and gas pipelines. The cover assembly encloses a volume of space on the pressure switch that houses a reset switch which is activated by depressing a button located on top of the reset switch. The cover assembly has a housing with a rod or plunger extending through the housing. On the exterior end of the rod is a protective cap and on the interior is a flexible rubber hemispherical bumper. A spring disposed between the cap and the exterior side of the cover housing biases the bumper away from the button on the reset switch. In operation, the cap is pushed towards the housing causing the rod or plunger to advance towards and contact the reset switch button. The bumper deforms or balloons outward upon contact with the button so as to impart sufficient force to depress the button but not so much force so as to damage or break the reset switch itself. When the cap is released, the spring moves the bumper away from the reset switch allowing the bumper to return to its original shape.

Whereby, a plurality of electronic elements or the PCB is prevented from being damaged and broken owing to an overdoing exerted force generated an accidental pressing on the button.
84 Multi-contact input device US11198907 2005-08-08 US20060060455A1 2006-03-23 Yoshihisa Mimata; Satoko Mimata; Takuhiko Saomoto
An object of the present invention is to protect a central switch of a multi-contact input device to input various kinds of signals by a pressing operation of an operating member to operate the central switch, and by an inclining operation of the operating member to operate a plurality of peripheral switches provided in the periphery of the central switch. A push rod 32 is projected from a body 31 of an operating member 30 toward a pressing side, and the push rod 32 can be moved in an axis direction with respect to the body 31. The push rod 32 is forced toward the projection side by a spring 33 incorporated in the body 31 with the push rod 32. The force is set such that it is stronger than force required to operate a central switch 51 and that the central switch is not damaged.
