Abstract: An electrical switch has a switch body with upper and lower body parts; actuators; individual switch terminals, each switch terminal having a contact part in the switch body; a common switch terminal having a contact portion in the switch body; and cam sliders extending side-by-side between the actuators and the contact parts of the individual switch terminals, sliding to move the contact parts into and out of contact with the common switch terminal. The contact portion of the common switch terminal extends across the contact parts of the individual switch terminals. The contact portion is sandwiched by the upper and lower body parts. At least two individual switch terminals are located along one side of the switch body, each individual switch terminal having an aperture accessible on the same side of the switch body, in which two ends of a conductor are insertable to short-circuit the two individual switch terminals.

Abstract: An electrical switch has a switch body, actuators, and switch contacts, and at least one moving contact member having first and second ends. Elongate cam sliders extend side-by-side in the switch body, between the actuators and the moving contact member, for sliding lengthwise by the actuators to cause pivotal movement of the moving contact member about the first end such that the second end is moved into and out of contact with at least one of the switch contacts. The first and second ends of the moving contact member lie in a plane extending parallel to the longitudinal extent of the cam sliders, or extend parallel to the length of the cam sliders.

Abstract: A keyless alert system for use in a car incorporating a keyless control system including a master controller and a remote controller co-operable via an RF communication link. The keyless alert system comprises a master alert unit in the master controller, a remote alert unit in the remote controller, and an alert signal generator in each of the alert units for providing an alert signal while the car engine is running and when the communication link fails by reason of the remote alert unit being separated from the master alert unit beyond a certain distance.
