49 Tamper switch actuator arrangement US11231832 2005-09-22 US20070062791A1 2007-03-22 Herve Quinque; Ki Yuen; Craig Cochran
A tamper switch actuator is used in combination with a circuit board held between two outer structural members. The tamper switch actuator includes a suspended displacement member moveable to a conducting position after a given amount of compression of a compressing member. The compressing member cooperates with an outer protecting sleeve and is positioned within and moveable in the axial direction of the sleeve. The tamper switch actuator separates the outer protecting sleeve from the displacement member. With this arrangement the electrical conducting surface of the displacement member can quickly respond to separation of the casing to produce a non-conducting condition or tamper indicating conditions while remaining protected within the outer protecting sleeve.

The keyboard unit has a printed substrate arranged on the display, fixed contacts which form switches provided for the buttons, and electric conductive contact rubber located on the printed substrate and provided with moving contacts opposing the fixed contacts. A panel is positioned on the electric conductive rubber and provided with the buttons. The panel has holes, the buttons are fitted into the holes to be vertically movable so that the fixed contacts of the printed substrate come into contact with the movable contacts of the electric conductive rubber. The buttons are provided with an engagement portion for preventing the buttons from coming off the panel and the electric conductive contact rubber and the printed contact have relief holes in which the buttons are fitted when the engagement portion holds the buttons, as well as belt-like through holes for making the individual indications corresponding to the buttons visible.
57 Motion detector and associated system US834891 1992-02-11 US5324898A 1994-06-28 Brian C. McCormack; James R. Cox; Richard H. Wallace; Kevin S. Hodge
A detector assembly (20) detects motion by utilizing a plurality of motion detectors (22-28), each detector having a first finger (40) and a second finger (42 ). First finger (40 ) has a signal line (36) on the inner surface (32) and second finger (42) has a ground line (38) disposed on another portion of inner surface (32). Spacer (46) keeps fingers (40) and (42) out of physical contact in the normal position so that there is an open circuit between signal line (36) and ground line (38). When a moving object (50) strikes first finger (40), first finger (40) is deflected downward so that first finger (40) and second finger (42) make physical contact at contact point (48), thereby establishing a closed circuit between signal line (36) and ground line (38). In this fashion a detection pulse is generated. The substrate (30) of detector assembly (20 ) is made of a resilient, flexible material such as a synthetic resin, for enhanced sensitivity. Due to the enhanced sensitivity of detector assembly (20), the motion of objects (50) can be detected even though such motion is random, i.e. the motion of objects does not have to be precisely controlled in the vicinity of detector assembly (20).
58 Switch assembly US661375 1991-02-28 US5193669A 1993-03-16 Gregory B. Demeo; Henry E. Molvar; David R. Bergerson
A switch assembly comprising a housing, a rigid operating member mounted for movement relative to the housing and accessible to an operator, an electrical contact operable by movement of the operating member from a rest position to an operative position relative to the housing, a flexible seal between the operating member and the electrical contact and capable of transmitting operative movement of the operating member to the contact while preventing passage of moisture and other contaminants from the region of the operating member to the contact, and, a limit preventing movement of the operating member relative to the contact beyond the position at which the contact is operated. The switch can include further operating members and associated contacts and limits carried by the housing and if desired the assembly can incorporate a heater for heating the operating member region of the assembly.
59 Encoding keyboard US713833 1985-03-20 US4609792A 1986-09-02 Joseph L. Levasseur
An encoding keyboard construction comprising a common input lead, a plurality N of output leads, and a plurality Y of key locations, each of which key locations has associated therewith aligned first and second contact sites defining a contact site pair, which contact sites are biased apart but can be moved into engagement with one another to establish contact therebetween. Each contact side pair includes three electrodes, one of which electrodes is connected to the common input lead, and each contact site includes at most two electrodes, each of which electrodes is connected to a respective single output lead. The output leads are each respectively connected to one or more selected contact sites such that, for each actuation of a key location, contact is effected between the contact sites of the contact site pair associated with such key location, which contact effects application of the signal present on the common input lead to a distinct pair of output leads, thereby effecting production of a distinct 2-of-N multi-bit output signal representative of such key location.
60 Touch selection panel for a vending machine US557320 1983-12-02 US4554419A 1985-11-19 Eddie W. King; Herman K. Duke; Don S. Summerville
A touch-sensitive selection panel structure for a vending machine including a pressure-sensitive membrane-type switch contained between first and second polycarbonate panels comprising the display panel of the vending machine. The touch-sensitive switch configuration is totally transparent to visible light. A product selector window array on the first polycarbonate panel is back-illuminated from within the vending machine with images of the vendable products available, for display in the selector windows on the front face of the vending machine display panel. The images are provided on the back face of the second polycarbonate panel within the vending machine and illuminated from behind in order to project the names and product logos through the membrane switch, and the first polycarbonate panel for viewing by a potential customer. The membrane switch contacts are easily actuatable by merely pressing on a flexible product window area defined in the first polycarbonate sheet, which causes selected membrane switch contacts to close and initiate the vend of a corresponding product. In an alternative embodiment, the membrane switch is replaced by discrete touch-sensitive switches disposed in portions of each of the window areas.
