Patent number: 10796871Abstract: The invention relates to an electric switch, in particular a rocker switch, comprising a contact system and comprising a movable actuating element for switching over the contact system between two switch positions, in particular an on position and an off position. The switch has a drivable actuator, which is operatively connected to the actuating element in such a way that the actuating element in at least one of the two switch positions is moved, on driving of the actuator, into the other switch position by the actuator for switching the contact system. In particular, the actuating element is moved by the actuator from the on position to the off position of the contact system.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Marquardt GmbHInventors: Andreas Maier, August Geiger, Alexander Hentschel, Alexander Prill, Daniel Nill

Patent number: 7023318Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic lock for a locking system, in particular an electronic ignition lock for a motor vehicle. The lock has a holder into which an associated electronic key can be introduced. The key, which is in the holder, exchanges at least one coded operating signal with the lock. After positively evaluating the operating signal, the holder can be moved into at least one actuating position. The lock has a blocking element which adjusts on introduction of the key into the holder and/or removal of the key from the holder. Movement of the holder is possible when the key is correctly in the holder. Furthermore, the lock has a switching element on which the adjusting movement of the blocking element exerts a switching action via a separate transmitter which can be brought into operative connection both with the blocking element and with the switching element.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1999Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Marquardt GmbHInventors: August Geiger, Karl Müller, Michael Geber, Hartmut Fitz

Patent number: 5798584Abstract: The invention relates to an electric switch (1), especially for use for an electric hand tool having an electric motor, such as a battery-operated electric tool having a direct-current motor. The switch (1) possesses a housing (2) for receiving a contact system, a movable actuating member which acts on at least one switch contact of the contact system, and control electronics (26) located in the housing (2) as well as an associated power semiconductor (28) for varying the rotational speed of the electric motor. The power semiconductor (28) is connected via a current-bearing and heat-conducting carrier part (31) to the contact system located in the housing (2) and, further, is heat-conductively connected to a cooling body (34) located on the outside of the housing (2). The carrier part (31) extends through a wall perforation (33) of the housing (2) at least as far as the cooling body (34).Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1996Date of Patent: August 25, 1998Assignee: Marquardt GmbHInventors: Alois Schaeffeler, August Geiger, Jens Mueller

Patent number: 5644112Abstract: An electrical switch, particularly for a breaking circuit includes first and second changeover switches. The first and second changeover switches each comprise first and second stationary contacts and a switching contact. A plunger is operatively connected to a rocker for causing the rocker to pivot between a non-operated position and an operated position. The second stationary contacts are associated with the non-operated position of the plunger. A spring is connected between the rocker and the switching contacts. The spring is arranged on the rocker and on the switching contacts so that at least when switching over from the second stationary contacts to the first stationary contacts the switching contacts are lifted off the second stationary contacts essentially synchronously.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 1995Date of Patent: July 1, 1997Assignee: Marquardt GmbHInventors: August Geiger, Alexander Knappe, Michael Bufe

Patent number: 5449992Abstract: A braking circuit for an electric motor includes a braking device for being connected in a circuit for braking the electric motor, a braking switch including first and second changeover switches for switching between a motor mode and a braking mode, and a control device. Switching contacts of the first and second changeover switches are switched between a first position for contacting, respectively, first stationary contacts of the first and second changeover switches in the motor mode, and a second position for contacting, respectively, second stationary contacts of the first and second changeover switches in the braking mode.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1993Date of Patent: September 12, 1995Assignee: Marquardt GmbHInventors: August Geiger, Alexander Knappe, Michael Bufe
