203 Jerk-initiated switch US11181310 2005-07-14 US20070012552A1 2007-01-18 Tien-Ming Chou
A jerk-initiated switch includes a housing having an inner housing wall which defines an accommodation chamber therein. First and second terminals are disposed to define a switching action enabling path of a straight length that crosses the accommodation chamber. A ball member and a momentum reducing member are disposed in the accommodation chamber. When the housing is jerked, the ball member is displaceable from a first position, where the ball member is disposed to interrupt the switching action enabling path to establish a first electric switching state, to a second position, where the ball member is disposed outside the switching action enabling path to establish a second electric switching state. The momentum reducing member is configured to yield under impact from the ball member to reduce the momentum of the ball member when the ball member is displaced from the first position to the second position.
204 Shock absorbent roller thumb wheel US11437048 2006-05-19 US20060207865A1 2006-09-21 Dave Ma; Herrebertus Tempelman; John Holmes
A shock absorbing roller thumb wheel is disclosed. The shock absorbing thumb wheel includes a central hub that can be secured to an electro-mechanical switch, a rim encircling the central hub, and force dispersion spokes extending from the central hub and connected to the rim. The configuration of the force dispersion spokes and the resilient material of the force dispersion spokes and the rim allow for radial and lateral deflection of the rim in response to an applied impact force. The impact force is thereby at least partially absorbed by the radial and lateral deflection of the rim and spokes, such that less impact force is transferred to connections between the electro-mechanical switch and any assembly to which the switch is attached. Hence, the probability of connection failures is reduced, and the lifetime of a device that uses the thumb wheel can be extended.

208 Low inertia latching microactuator US09764919 2001-01-17 US06831380B2 2004-12-14 Tara Jean Rybnicek; John Wesley Stocker; Jeffery Frank Summers; John Stuart Foster; Richard Thomas Martin; Paul John Rubel; Patrick Edward Feierabend
A surface micromachined micromagnetic actuator is described, wherein rotary actuation is accomplished by a member pivotably mounted on the surface of the substrate. Angular motion of the member about the pivot point is imparted by the interaction of a magnetic tab affixed to the member, with flux generated in the gap of an electromagnetic core. Rotary motion is restricted to less than 360 degrees by using an integrally formed hinge between the pivoting member and the pivot point, rather than by a more complex bearing. By virtue of this design, a large range of motion can be achieved without requiring a true bearing to be fabricated in the device. The pivoting member is also constrained in either of two stable positions upon de-energization of the electromagnetic core, by the attachment of a bistable spring between the pivoting member and the substrate.

213 Soft stop mechanism and method US09707701 2000-11-07 US06431340B1 2002-08-13 David J. Ineson; Howard France
This invention offers advantages over the prior art by providing a simple, inexpensive mechanism and method for reducing the shock load on the drive of a rotary or linear actuator when the motion of the actuator output shaft is slowed, even to the point of stopping. This is referred to as bringing the actuator to a “soft stop.” This invention uses a single spring wherein the spring may be a torsion, ribbon or compression spring. The mechanism generally includes a spring, a spring cup and a drive cup. When the motion of the output shaft is slowed or reaches its limit of travel, the spring begins to store energy and brings the drive cup to a soft stop.
214 Toggle mechanism for toggle switches US09566647 2000-05-08 US06420669B1 2002-07-16 David Shenker; David B. Balaban; Michael Ostrovsky; John LiBretto

The modular toggle assembly also includes an external switching device in selective association with the toggle handle. The housing assembly includes an upper housing and a lower housing configured to be secured together, wherein a portion of the toggle handle extends from an opening in the upper housing for user operation of the handle.

The toggle spring is a flat spring member located in a channel and supported on substantially distal ends by a pair of support arms. The toggle arm makes contact with substantially the middle of the spring member through a predetermined arc defined by the rotational movement of the toggle arm.

218 Detecting device for detecting the traveling state of a moving object US907887 1997-08-11 US5923140A 1999-07-13 Shinichi Azumi; Kouji Yamaji
A detecting device includes: an actuator with its end placed in a conveying path of a moving object such as a sheet etc., pivotally supported by a rotary shaft so that it can sway as the moving object passes by; a slit arm integrally formed with the actuator and having a slit therein and an optical sensor disposed below the actuator. In this arrangement, the slit arm having a slit therein is placed in the path of the optical sensor. An urging portion for returning the actuator to the standby position is provided for the slit arm. The abutment surface P of the urging portion abutting the unit base of the optical sensor is formed inclined. A component force E causing the actuator to bounce, which is proportional to a repulsive force D normal to the abutment surface P when the abutment surface abuts the unit base abutment surface P, is smaller than the repulsive force D. Therefore, the distance of the bouncing of the actuator becomes smaller, thus preventing chattering.

This results in a better mechanical endurance of the mechanism.
