Electrical equipment such as receptacles for light switches and plug receivers are hereby provided with stab ground wire connectors, also called quick, push, and/or pressure ground wire connections, whereby the ground wire, often having a green colored outer insulation, as generally required by electrical codes, has the insulation removed a predetermined gage length from its end, and thereafter the bare wire end is pushed into a circular opening of added portions of the housing of the electrical receptacle, and continue on to be gripped by added metal on the support bar, thereby creating a grounding contact throughout its interior. Preferably, all the other connections of the receptacle, i.e., that is to the power wires, are also quick, stab, and/or pressure wire connections, whereby the entire wiring hook up to the receptacle is quickly and securely undertaken. Moreover, all these added ground connections, once made, so remain, until an end of a release tool, often a screw driver, is inserted through an entry, slightly spaced from the ground wire entry hole, to momentarily deflect part of the added metal on the support bar, which is arranged as the inserted wire gripping ground conductor, to thereby create clearance for the withdrawal of the bare metal end of the ground wire.

The present disclosure provides a touch panel which at least comprises a sensing area, a conductive wire area, and earthing lines. The conductive wire area surrounds the sensing area and is electrically connected to the sensing area, and the conductive wire area comprises a first conductive wire area and a second conductive wire area. The earthing lines are set between the first conductive wire area and the second conductive wire area. The touch panel can efficiently shield signal crosstalk between the first conductive wire area and the second conductive wire area by setting the earthing lines between the first conductive wire area and the second conductive wire area, thereby reducing the influence of signal crosstalk on efficiency of the touch panel. |

An electric circuit breaker apparatus is used in a vehicle including an electric circuit having a converter and a storage battery. The electric circuit breaker apparatus interrupts power supply from the storage battery to the converter when a collision of the vehicle is detected. The electric circuit breaker apparatus includes a power supply circuit breaker driven by a low explosive type actuator, which is actuated when a collision of the vehicle is detected. Actuation of the power supply circuit breaker interrupts a power supply path connecting a positive terminal of the storage battery to the converter and grounds a portion of the power supply path closer to the converter than the interrupted portion. |

A switch having a rocker paddle pivotally coupled to a cam driver composed, in part, of a rigid member which causes a cam to rotate first in a clockwise direction and then in a counter clockwise direction each time the rocker paddle is depressed. Alternate rotation of the cam drives a slider member back and forth along a linear axis to open and close a set of contacts. A shaped leaf spring cooperates with a cam follower on the slider member to assist in the movement of the slider and to determine its rest positions. A spring urges the rocker paddle to always be in its out position when the switch is in its on position and off at rest positions. An indicator such as an LED located in the paddle indicates the state of conduction of the switch. |

There is disclosed a paddle switch operated by pushing on the lower portion of a rocker paddle to turn the switch “on” or “off”. The lower edge of the paddle pivots in and out about its upper edge. The switch includes flexible driver means coupled to be driven by the rocker paddle. When the rocker paddle is pushed in, it urges the flexible driver means to rotate a cam means in a first, clock wise direction, or a second, counter clock wise direction. Alternate rotation of the cam drives a slider member having a cam follower back and forth along a linear axis. A shaped leaf spring cooperates with the cam follower to assist in the movement of the slider and determines its rest positions. An indicator such as an LED is used to indicate the state of conduction of the switch. When the rocker paddle is released, it is biased by a spring to pivot back to its initial position. The rocker paddle of the switch is not located within a frame and has a surface along its vertical axis of positive first differential and zero second differential, comprised of a combination of splines which extend between points of varying distances from a datum plane. This surface has zero second differential when the rate of height increase of individual splines is constant. |
