252 Systems and Methods for Providing Inputs to an Electronic Device with a Button Assmebly US13833993 2013-03-15 US20140069794A1 2014-03-13 Wey-Jiun Lin; Jiping Wu
This is directed to systems and methods for providing inputs to an electronic device with a button assembly. In some embodiments, a button assembly may include a button having distinguishable regions, limbs, and a set of switches positioned adjacent the button, where at least one of the switches is activated when one of the regions is actuated. In some embodiments, a button assembly may span a support member of a housing, and may be at least partially secured in an opening of the housing by bracket. In these embodiments, the button assembly may be operative to rotate about an axis in response to a user interaction event to activate a switch.
253 Dimmer switch with adjustable high-end trim US12958878 2010-12-02 US08198827B2 2012-06-12 Jackson Gehman
A dimmer switch has a user adjustable high-end trim. The dimmer switch includes a bidirectional semiconductor switch, such as a triac, for controlling the amount of power delivered from a source of alternating current power to a lighting load, such as an electric lamp. A user-adjustable timing circuit controls the conduction time of the triac from a minimum time to a maximum time. The maximum possible conduction time of the triac is the high-end trim. The minimum possible conduction time of the triac is the low-end trim. The timing circuit includes a user-accessible switch that allows a user to reduce the high-end trim from a first nominal level to a second reduced level, lower than the first level, without substantially affecting the low-end trim. The switch allows a user to switch a transient voltage suppressor into and out of parallel connection with a resistor that is part of an RC timing circuit for the triac. The dimmer switch advantageously uses less energy and the lifetime of the lamp is extended when the second reduced level of the high-end trim is selected.
254 TAMPER-RESISTANT, ENERGY-HARVESTING SWITCH ASSEMBLIES US13104859 2011-05-10 US20110272261A1 2011-11-10 Martin R. Johnson; Jan F. Finlinson; Jeremy P. Willden; Robert E. Gooch
Tamper-resistant, longer-lasting energy-harvesting switch assemblies that can accommodate longer antennas required for operation in the 315 MHz radio frequency band are provided. In order to accommodate longer antenna that will not fit within the energy-harvesting module, the front major face of the back plate is equipped with a perimetric channel or trough into which a wire antenna can be installed. The problem of rocker wear in prior-art devices caused by abrasive action of the bows is rectified by a redesign of the rocker and the manufacture of a wear-resistant insert that snaps into place at the rear of the rocker. The potential theft problem associated with prior-art devices has been resolved by redesigning the back plate and the retainer clip that engages latches on the redesigned back plate. Non-destructive removal of the retainer clip can be effected only with a special tool.
255 Load Control Device Having a Visual Indication of an Energy Savings Mode US12474950 2009-05-29 US20090256483A1 2009-10-15 Jackson Gehman; Gregory Altonen; Joel S. Spira
A load control system (e.g., a dimmer switch) operates in a normal mode of operation and an energy-saver mode and displays a visual indication when the system is operating in the energy-saver mode. The system comprises a controllably conductive device adapted to be coupled in series between a power source and a lighting load, a control circuit operatively coupled to the controllably conductive device for adjusting the intensity of the lighting load, and a visual indicator for providing the visual indication that the system is in the energy-saver mode of operation. The control circuit controls the intensity of the lighting load between a minimum intensity and a first maximum intensity when the system is in the normal mode of operation, and between the minimum intensity and a second maximum intensity less than the first maximum intensity when the system is in the energy-saver mode.
256 Light switch with automatic turn off US12148262 2008-04-18 US07525058B1 2009-04-28 Charles Ernest Daffin, III
A “light switch” that is the most common and easiest to operate. The toggle switch, rocker switch or paddle switch, is used for turning on and off 110 volt ac lights. The switch can be preset, before installation, to a time duration keeping lights on from five minutes to eight hours. After the preset time expires the toggle flips to the “off” position. Optional connections for low voltage control wires enable the switch to also be toggled on and off by a remote or outside source.
257 Electrical rocker type switch US777982 1996-12-24 US5749459A 1998-05-12 David B. Balaban; Anthony Tufano
An electrical rocker type wall switch capable of single, duplex and triplex configurations incorporates one or more slightly concave manually depressible rockers. These rockers have a relatively short range of motion from their respective on to off positions. The edges of the rocker lie substantially flush with the switch cover when in either of their on or off positions. Switching is actuated by an actuating arm attached to the rocker moving a contact on the end of a movable brush arm in and out of electrical contact with a fixed contact on the end of a contact arm attached to a fixed terminal. One or more brush arms extend from a fixed brush backplate and are formed so as to be resilient. Switch toggling is achieved by using a toggle spring, held in place on the end of a toggle arm, which is compressed during the first half of travel of the rocker from its resting position and expands as the rocker crosses its midway point toward the second half of travel to its resting position on the other side of the switch. The toggle spring sits centrally over a spring pivot which has two spring stops on either side of it to support the toggle spring at the on and off position of the rocker.
258 Lamp receptacle US573376 1995-12-15 US5602369A 1997-02-11 Tseng-Fan Chu; Tzu-Chih Lin
A lamp receptacle including a receptacle body to hold a lamp bulb, a mounting base revolvably fastened to the receptacle body by a bolt, two contact blades fixed to the mounting base for connection to the power supply outlet, a first metal contact plate and second metal contact plate respectively fastened to the receptacle body and disposed in contact with the contact blades, and a third metal contact plate controlled by an ON/OFF switch on the receptacle body to connect/disconnect the first metal contact plate and the second metal contact plate.
259 Progressive switch US226951 1994-04-13 US5436421A 1995-07-25 Walter A. Sadowski
A two pole electrical switch has side-by-side movable contacts operated by a single rocker/actuator of the type having side-by-side pin recesses. Two pins in these recesses are spring biased toward the movable contacts to achieve contact closing, but one pin has its end offset from the other pin end so the closing is sequential rather than simultaneous.
