  • Publication number: 20220090941
    Abstract: A switching assembly comprises a pair of fixed contacts, and a contact bridge movable between a bridging position in which the contact bridge electrically connects the contacts and a separated position in which the contacts are electrically separated. A detector of the assembly includes at least one sensor for detecting the presence of the contact bridge in at least one of the separated position or the bridging position, and a controller operatively connected to the sensor and having a first switching point and a second switching point. One of the switching points is associated with a position of the contact bridge between the bridging position and the separated position.

  • Patent number: 11170956
    Abstract: A switch assembly comprises a plurality of contacts, a switch including a contact bridge and an armature connected to the contact bridge, and a switch status detector positioned remotely and electrically isolated from the switch. The switch has an open position in which the contacts are electrically separated from one another and a closed position in which the contacts are in electrical contact with each other through the contact bridge. The switch status detector includes an electronic oscillator coupled with a coil wrapped around a core. The switch status detector outputs an oscillating voltage that varies depending upon a position of the switch between the open position and the closed position.

  • Patent number: 10115550
    Abstract: An arrangement for an electrical switching device is disclosed. The arrangement for an electrical switching device comprises a contact spring and a component attached to the contact spring. The component has an edge running in an inclined manner with respect to a longitudinal direction of the contact spring. The component also has at least two switching state positions and a transition phase between the switching state positions, and abuts the contact spring along the edge in the transition phase.

  • Patent number: 5337342
    Abstract: In order to simplify the use of a portable emergency call device to place calls on a public telephone network, the emergency call receiver for receiving an automated call code signal from the portable device is part of a cordless telephone installation at the premises of a telephone subscriber. That installation includes a memory of telephone numbers subscribers to be alerted to the presence of an emergency call, together with logic for sequencing calls to several subscribers in repeated sequence until one of them receives the emergency call.

  • Patent number: 4672655
    Abstract: To establish a connection between a stationary subscriber connected to a telephone system and a mobile subscriber, call signals are transmitted via a call center, an earth radio station and a satellite to a plurality of transceivers distributed over an area. From at least one of these transceivers the call signals are transmitted to the mobile subscriber. This avoids annoying changes in delay in modulation offering trunks which are now no longer required between the call center and the transceivers as well as interference produced by such changes in delay in the simultaneous reception by two adjacent transceivers. All transceivers can therefore operate at the same carrier frequency and simultaneously.
