47 LAYERED SWITCH ASSEMBLY US10836795 2004-04-30 US20050241930A1 2005-11-03 Robin Stevenson
A layered switch assembly permits more than one electric circuit function to be obtained from each of a set of switches used to control electric circuit functions such as the operation or adjustment of seats, mirrors or other components in an automotive vehicle passenger compartment. A group of switches for operator control is embedded in an armrest, console, or the like. Overlying the discrete switches are two or more flexible sheet or membrane layers for selective activation of one or more of the switches. Illuminated indicia on each switch activation layer identify the underlying switch operation. The uppermost layer controls the electrical switch function unless that layer has been moved aside to expose the next lower switch function activation layer.
48 Pressure switch for motorized chairs US10080031 2002-02-21 US20030155224A1 2003-08-21 Edmond P. Guillot
A pressure switch strip assembly for use with a motorized chair having user-supporting elements that support a user and are movable by a motor connected by a circuit to a controller. The pressure switch strip assembly includes a pair of elongate contact strips that extend over a spring in one of the user-supporting elements. The contact strips are separated by spacers in a nullnormally opennull position that prohibits operation of the motor by the controller. Between the contact strips and the spring is a contact wire that acts as a pressure point to deflect the contact strips together. Deflection of the contact strips closes the circuit between the controller and motor, allowing control of the chair by the user resting thereon. A pair of the pressure switch strips may be spaced apart across the user-supporting element so as to detect the user in several positions on the user-supporting element.

57 Power seat device US348614 1989-05-05 US5021614A 1991-06-04 Makoto Sasaki; Nobuo Ebishi; Shinji Yanai
A power seat switch device for adjusting a seat position having a single operating knob, a sliding member cooperatively connected to the operating knob, and three lever switches adapted to be selectively operated by the motion of the sliding member. When the common operating knob is moved in one of two opposite directions, the first switch is operated to move the seat to the front and to the rear. On the other hand, when the operating knob is rotated at one end, the sliding member is pivoted about the third switch, thereby operating the second switch. As a result, the height of the front portion of the seat is adjusted. In contrast, when the operating knob is rotated at its other end, the sliding member is pivoted about the second switch, thereby operating the third switch. As a result, the height of the rear portion of the seat is adjusted.
