64 Electrical switch with sliding terminal contacts US321383 1999-05-27 US6091038A 2000-07-18 Daniel Christopher Murphy; Scott Jon Pollock
An electrical switch (20) comprises a plastic base (40), a plurality of base terminals (102-112) mounted in the base, a manually pivotable actuator (200) supported for pivotal movement relative to the base, and at least one actuator terminal (260) mounted to the actuator. The actuator (200) is pivotable between a neutral position in which the actuator terminal (260) is in contact with one (106) of the base terminals (102-112) and at least one actuated position in which the actuator terminal is in contact with another (110) of the base terminals. The actuator terminal (260), when the actuator (200) is pivoted from the neutral position to the at least one actuated position, slides out of contact with the one (106) of the base terminals (102-116) and slides into contact with the other (110) of the base terminals. The sliding movement of the actuator terminal (260) into and out of contact with the one (106) of the base terminals (102-112) and the other (110) of the base terminals cleans the actuator terminal and the base terminals to help prevent contamination.
65 Two-position latching two dome switch US633264 1996-04-18 US5622254A 1997-04-22 James S. Lee
The invention includes a keycap having a top surface having a first and second end, and a body portion, said keycap being pivotally connected to a support for movement of the keycap from a first to a second position. A lever extending downward from the body portion of the keycap. The lever is sandwiched between and constantly engaged by a first and second opposed dome structures. Each dome structure has a conductive material on the underside thereof and the dome structure is supported on a substrate having an open circuit. In the first position for the keycap a first dome structure is collapsed and the electrically conductive element on the undersurface of the dome engages the open circuit to close the circuit. When the keycap is moved to a second position, the keycap pivots causing the lever to move in a rotational direction collapsing the second dome structure and said first dome structure biases the lever against the second dome structure. The present invention is simple in construction and low cost and provides improved tactile field over prior art latching switches.

A "center-off" rocker/actuator switch has cooperating contact lever and actuator pin surfaces that obviate the need for a yoke on the center fixed contact to support the contact lever in its center position. The pin has an enlarged head at its inner end to engage the lever at one or two spaced locations to so support the lever in its center position. A momentary "on" versions has steeply inclined regions of the contact lever on at least one side of the center pivot area thereof, and two progressive "on" versions are disclosed, one with upturned marginal edge portions on the contact lever that cooperate with the pins unique head configuration to permit holding the contact lever "on" in the neutral or "center-off" position for the actuator. The second progressive "on" switch has two "center-off" type contact levers and uniquely shaped pins designed to hold these contact levers in oppositely oriented limit positions when the actuator is centered.

In a switch, a combination plunger and actuator member is resiliently floatingly mounted within a guideway in a handle member for movement toward and away from said handle member and which rocks with the pivoting of said handle member. There is provided stationary fulcrum-forming means against which a follower portion of said combination plunger and actuator member is resiliently urged, the shape of one of said fulcrum-forming means and follower portion being such that the distance of the outer end portion of said combination plunger and actuator member from said handle member varies as the handle member is moved between a first and a second position thereof. The combination plunger and actuator member has a spring engaging portion which engages a movable contact carrying member for moving the same between positions where said movable and stationary contacts are respectively in and out of engagement as the handle member is moved between said first and second positions thereof.
71 Electrically held three position cutout switch US43114274 1974-01-04 US3842375A 1974-10-15 COLLETTE R
A push button switch includes an armature pivotally mounted on a pole piece. The armature is biased by a spring against the magnetic force of a coil on the pole piece. A push button pivots about a second axis parallel to the armature pivot axis and includes an active projection that engages a cam surface on the armature. The push button may be manually operated to drive the armature toward or away from the coil. A positive detent is defined in the cam surface to provide positive disengagement of the armature from the coil upon appropriate movement of the push button. The cam surface also provides a momentary action by the push button when driving the armature toward the coil.

79 Rocker input mechanism US14926618 2015-10-29 US10002731B2 2018-06-19 Paul X. Wang; Ryan P. Brooks; Waylon Y. Chen
A rocker input mechanism includes an actuator that is operable to pivot against the interior surface of a housing through which an actuation surface of the actuator projects. Pivots or up-stops on the edges of the actuator are biased against the interior surface by dome switches contacting a switching surface of the actuator that is opposite the actuation surface. Thus, the actuator is able to pivot with respect to the interior surface to activate the dome switches when force is exerted on the actuation surface without bending or flexing like typical rocker buttons. As a result, the rocker input mechanism may have a feel to a user similar to non-rocking input mechanisms like single mode buttons.
