The invention relates to a safety switch unit (1) for electrically controlled machines for use in combination with the actual control elements of the machine control system in a hand-held application or for manual control, with at least one operating element which is displaced relative to a mounting frame (8) in accordance with the switching function desired by a user, which is designed to change the switch status of at least one electric switch element, the safety switch unit (1) having at least one switch position which is maintained only as long as a sufficiently high operating force is applied to the displaceable operating elements. Two operating elements for at least one respective electric switch element (14, 15) can be displaced in translation or rotation to a limited degree relative to the mounting frame (8) about a respective pivot axis of two pivot bearings and provide a substantially translating or straight operating movement of the safety switch unit (1) by means of a push button unit (2) which is disposed in front of the two operating elements by reference to the operating direction—arrow (13)—of the safety switch unit (1).

23 Deadman switch mechanism for emergency stop of robot and teaching operation US297148 1999-04-26 US6160324A 2000-12-12 Akihiro Terada; Mitsuhiro Yasumura; Shinsuke Nakao
A deadman switch mechanism and a teaching operation panel equipped with the deadman switch mechanism, in which possibility of losing a safety function is low even if failure happens in a contact or other elements of a circuit. When an operator grips at least one of grip levers (GL1; GL2) with normal force, the grip levers turn around axes (AX4; AX5), shoulder portions (SD1; SD2) abut on slave levers (SL1; SL2) and turns the slave levers connected by a link (LK) around an axis (AX3) in the direction denoted by an arrow B, simultaneously, so that switches (SW1; SW2) are turned into an ON-state, simultaneously. Then, two circuits including those switches, respectively, output ON-signals independently and these signals are subjected to AND process, to allow the robot to operate. In an emergency, when an operator releases gripping of the grip levers (GL1; GL2), the slave levers (SL1; SL2) turn in the direction denoted by an arrow A, simultaneously, so that the switches (SW1; SW2) are brought into an OFF-state, simultaneously, and the robot stops immediately.

30 Handheld electronic device and keypad providing enhanced usability and reduced size, and associated method US12119699 2008-05-13 US07999791B2 2011-08-16 Jason T. Griffin; Steven Henry Fyke
An improved handheld electronic device, keypad, and method in accordance with the invention meet these and other needs. An improved handheld electronic device having an improved keypad provides enhanced usability and reduced size by organizing its keys in pairs, with a pair of keys being disposed on a support. Each key of a pair of keys is individually actuatable. An actuation of a key causes a primary conductor associated with the key set to electrically to connect a pair of contacts and to cause a secondary conductor associated with the key to electrically connect another pair of contacts. The primary conductor is a dome that is collapsible to electrically connect the pair of contacts and to provide a particular tactile feedback to the user. The secondary conductor is a conductor other than a collapsible dome. An actuation of any key or of any pair of keys thus provides to the user a consistent tactile feedback from a collapse of a single dome. An improved method in accordance with the invention is also disclosed.
31 INPUT DEVICE US11773481 2007-07-05 US20080251368A1 2008-10-16 Per Anders HOLMBERG; Roland BENGTSSON
An electronic device, e.g. a mobile telephone, may comprise an input device such as a rocker key device for operating functions in the electronic device. The input device may comprise a switch device with at least one switch pad mounted on a support structure, and an input actuator for actuating the switch device. Each switch pad comprises a plurality of press detection switches. Each press detection switch of the multiple press detection switches is configured to output a signal upon depression of the press detection switch, when the switch pad is actuated by means of the input actuator. Some embodiments of the present invention provide the user of a communication device with a more reliable input of data/commands and at the same time achieves a higher redundancy for such input. The invention also reduces the height of a portable electronic device and also the number of components required for doing this, and therefore reduces the cost of the device. Furthermore, the invention also provides a very low height and a flat shape of the actuator when implemented in a mobile device, whereby the use of the restricted space in such a device is optimized.

33 Enabler of teaching pendant US10363815 2003-03-06 US20030184164A1 2003-10-02 Takao Fukui; Kenji Miyauchi; Kazuya Okada; Yasushi Kamino; Ken Maeda; Yoshio Sekino; Masaki Nobuhiro
In a case where a left-hand push-button switch is ON, a second relay RL2 is electrically de-energized to open a normally close contact RL2-1 of the second relay RL2 so that a relay contact circuit RC is opened. If, in this state, a right-hand push-button switch is shifted to a second OFF state, a normally close contact R3-1 of the right-hand push-button switch is opened. Thus, a third relay RL3 is not electrically de-energized and a first and a second circuits are in cutoff until both the right-hand and the left-hand push-button switches are returned to a first OFF state.
34 Push button and teaching pendant with the push button US10089494 2002-03-28 US20030027107A1 2003-02-06 Takao Fukui; Kenji Miyauchi; Kazuya Okada; Yasushi Kamino; Ken Maeda; Yoshio Sekino
A push-button switch and a teaching pendant employing the same are provided. The push-button switch ensures that a push button is capable of switching ON/OFF the switch if one of contacts thereof should fail during an operation of the switch. For achieving this object, a switch case 3 contains two c-contacts 9a, 9b each having a snap action configuration and switching mechanisms 11a, 11b for opening/closing the c-contacts 9a, 9b. When a push button 5 is depressed, the switching mechanisms 11a, 11b simultaneously open/close the c-contacts 9a, 9b for turning ON/OFF a push-button switch 1.
35 Sub control panel for use in maintenance work, and method for manipulating the sub control panel US173755 1998-10-16 US6114779A 2000-09-05 Toshihiko Nishionji; Tomiyasu Ueda; Masato Tanino; Tadashi Tanno; Mikiya Nakata
A sub control panel for use in maintenance work has a control switch, enable switches and manipulation prohibition members. The sub control panel is configured such that the control switch is not activated unless the enable switches are being kept ON by one hand of the operator and the operator is prevented by the manipulation prohibition members from manipulating with the one hand from turning ON the enable switches. When the sub control panel is to be used, the operator must use both hands and is hindered from inserting both hands to a driven part of a machine to be subjected to maintenance work when the machine is operating.

38 Deadman switch arrangement for a hedge trimmer US728374 1991-07-11 US5150523A 1992-09-29 Ronald C. McCurry
A deadman switch arrangement for a hedge trimmer wherein the auxiliary handle of the hedge trimmer is provided with a cover member which pivots thereon. The cover member has a camming surface near its pivot point, the camming surface having a ramp which moves an actuating pin inwardly toward the center of the hedge trimmer housing as the cover member is moved toward the auxiliary handle. When moved inwardly of the housing, the actuating pin closes a switch to complete the main power circuit of the hedge trimmer. The cover member is biased away from the auxiliary handle so that if the operator releases the cover member, the hedge trimmer is automatically turned off.
