A manually actuatable integrated contact module connecting to an output access module by means of a common communications link. The integrated contact module has an electrical contact, a logic circuit, a communications circuit and a communications terminal mounted on a common printed circuit board. The printed circuit board provides communication between the electrical contact and the logic circuit, between the logic circuit and the communications circuit, and between the communications circuit and the communications terminal. The printed circuit board is enclosed within a protective housing. A contact operator is slidably mounted with respect to the printed circuit board such that it is partially enclosed within the housing and movable between a first position and a second position. An operator interface device in mounted on one side of a control panel and the integrated contact module is attached to the operator interface device an the opposite side of the control panel such that the operator interface device is in communication with that portion of the contact operator outside the protective housing. The contact operator, in response to movement of the operator interface device, causes the contact to change state thereby initiating a signal to be processed by the logic circuit and communications circuit prior to being placed on the common communications link.

104 Bounce dampening system for switch actuators US753326 1976-12-22 US4264225A 1981-04-28 John N. Cassell; John A. Elder, Jr.; Benjamin G. Pastrick; William J. Thornhill
A bounce dampening system reduces switch actuator bounce when the actuators are restored to their home position. Included are selection interposers, one of which is selectively driven to thereby effect motion of selection bails and corresponding switch actuators. A reverse interposer is simultaneously driven. A spring restores the reverse interposer after the actuation cycle thereby carrying the bails and switch actuators to their home position. The return spring and the mass of the reverse interposer prevents actuator bounce and insures a timely return of the actuators.
105 Keyboard switch US777401 1977-03-14 US4117430A 1978-09-26 Dewey M. Sims, Jr.
A keyboard switch is actuated by the depression of a magnetized plunger into the region of a magnetic sensing device positioned at the lower extreme of plunger travel. The plunger is integrally formed of a plastic, magnetizable material and has a central, longitudinal opening that receives and registers with the sensor. The change in magnetic field intensity associated with plunger travel is detected by the sensor and translated into a signal representative of switch actuation.
106 Cartridge for magnetically operated contacts US610121 1975-09-04 US4015226A 1977-03-29 Thaddeus Stomma; Edwin J. Wroblewski
A pushbutton switch is described in which a pair of contact cartridges containing magnetically operated sealed switches are mounted to an actuator section. The linear motion of the pushbutton is converted to rotary motion by a cam structure mounted in each cartridge and a magnet mounted therein between two switches is thus rotated about a switch axis. By properly polarizing the magnet and by using a magnetic shield, the switches are made to operate as the magnet is rotated to provide a number of possible modes of operation.

111 Push-button switch US3701064D 1971-12-27 US3701064A 1972-10-24 KINOSHITA RYOHEI; ISHIZAWA MASAMI
This disclosure relates to a push-button switch comprising a housing provided with a support means for supporting a magnetic member, a reed switch element fixedly and vertically positioned in the housing, a lower spring contained in the housing, a magnet mounted on the lower spring which is capable of moving up and down with respect to the reed switch while its upward movement is restrained by the support means and also said magnet is capable of being attracted to the magnetic member in the ordinary state, a pusher capable of moving up and down, a first upper spring applied to the pusher member at its one end, and mounted on the magnet at its other end and a second upper spring also mounted on the magnet and vertically distant from the pusher at a first pushed down displacement of the pusher whereby, before a state in which the pushed down force applied to the pusher overcomes the critical resistance of the sum of the initial resilient force of the lower spring and the magnetic attractive force acting between the support means and the magnet, whereby the magnet carried out the downward snap action thus forming a magnetic field which operates the reed switch, firstly the pusher undergoes the first pushed down displacement while being opposed by the resistance from the first upper spring so that the pushing down force on the pusher equals the force of the sum of the resilient force of the first upper spring and the initial resilient force, and then, the pusher is further pushed to a critical displacement where the pushed down force overcomes the above-mentioned critical resistance force.
112 Alternate action mechanism US3691333D 1971-03-19 US3691333A 1972-09-12 ELLIOTT PHILLIP M
The present invention relates to a new improved alternate action mechanism for control devices, such as switches, which utilizes a pawl mounted for free rotation on an actuator and for operative association with camming surfaces formed in an associated hollow casing. The camming surfaces act to partially rotate the pawl on an initial downward stroke of the actuator to such an extent that the pawl cooperates with the camming surfaces to preclude total return of the actuator without subsequent reciprocal motion of the actuator further rotating the pawl. Contiguous opposite sides of a pawl tooth are engaged by a shoulder portion of said camming surfaces to prevent return.

A plunger is carried by the housing and moves the actuator toward and away from the contacts. Adjusting means are provided which operatively engage the magnet and the plunger for varying the initial distance of the magnet from the contacts. A cap is removably attached to the plunger and is constructed to conceal and protect the adjusting means.
114 Mechanically actuated electric switch assembly US3681724D 1971-07-01 US3681724A 1972-08-01 SHEPARD JOSEPH EMANUEL
A highly reliable and readily serviceable electric switch is afforded by a simple and inexpensive magnetic reed switch capsule and a pair of tubular magnets slidably arranged over the capsule. Like magnetic poles on the annular faces adjacent each other hold the magnets apart until they are brought together by mechanical switch actuating means. When brought together by the actuating means, the change in the magnetic field about the reeds actuates the magnetic reed switch contact elements. A minimum of mechanical wear is encountered, and the magnetic reed switch capsules are quickly and conveniently replaceable. A plurality of such magnetic reed capsules may be actuated by a single pair of tubular magnets. All of the reed switch elements may be activated substantially simultaneously or the capsules may be offset with respect to one another for actuating the various reed contact elements sequentially. Push button arrangements are described for keyboard applications.

116 Universal modular printed circuit magnetic reed keyboard switch assembly US3664014D 1969-08-14 US3664014A 1972-05-23 PERONI PETER A; JONES JOHN PAUL JR
At least one glass tube enclosed magnetic reed switch is mounted on a planar printed circuit board which is removably inserted into a hollow housing member in grooves on either side of an axially movable planar key member with a magnet thereon actuating the switch contacts during a limited range of movement. This provides a universal mounting arrangement wherein one to four switches and other circuit elements may be located upon the printed circuit cards for operation by a single manually depressed key at one or more positions of its stroke. Each switch is standardized for predetermined operation timing during the magnet movement by selectively bending the leads and inserting into registration apertures in the printed circuit boards. The switch is thus precisely located within the magnetic field by simplified structure affording strain relief at closed ends of the glass tubes. The leads are bent normal to the reed switch axis for this purpose at calibrated positions to thereby precisely locate the magnetic switch gaps by means of punched hole pairs easily located to close tolerances in the printed circuit board.
117 Magnetically operable momentary switch assembly US3656181D 1970-10-20 US3656181A 1972-04-11 PACK HOWARD S
A magnetic flux field momentarily produces a first reed switch mode upon movement of a permanent magnet to a selected position and aspect in response to depression of a self-restoring manual member. Thereafter, during the depressing stroke, a spring which had been tensioned in response to depression of the manual member is released from a restraint. The untensioning force snaps the magnet to another aspect to effect a second reed switch mode. Cam means comprising the spring restraint also enables return of the permanent magnet from its end stroke position to its start stroke position without change of aspect, whereby the second mode of the reed switch is maintained.
118 Push button switch US3652963D 1970-11-19 US3652963A 1972-03-28 FOX DEAN H
A push button switch of the magnetic reed type is provided with a rotatable actuating magnet to close the reed contacts in one position of the magnet and to open them in another.
