Leaf Spring Contact Patents (Class 200/546)
  • Patent number: 11345321
    Abstract: A parking lever switch may include a spring supporter; a switch input and output terminal, which can contact the spring supporter; an elastic spring supporting the spring supporter; a cable rod connected with the spring supporter; and a cable guide that guides the cable rod. The switch is energized when the force applied to the spring supporter connected with the cable rod is equal to or greater than the value obtained by multiplying a spring constant k of the elastic spring by a displacement.

  • Patent number: 9885170
    Abstract: Provided is a cab in which an engine stop switch can be caused to make an emergency stop and an improper operation of the engine stop switch can be suppressed. The cab includes an operator's seat placed in the cab and the engine stop switch for causing the engine to make an emergency stop. The operator's seat includes a back portion serving as a backrest. The engine stop switch is provided rearward relative to a perpendicular line which is perpendicular to a midline bisecting the operator's seat as seen in a plan view and passes the back portion.

  • Patent number: 6861604
    Abstract: A push button switch is provided having a switch housing having at least two contacts wherein at least one of the contacts has an engagement surface. The switch includes a switch actuator having an actuation surface. The actuator is in communication with the housing and is adapted to be movable with respect to the housing when depressed. The actuation surface is adapted to engage the engagement surface of the at least one contact when the switch actuator is depressed. The two contacts are adapted to contact each other at an actuation point defined by the actuation surface of the switch actuator.

  • Patent number: 5545864
    Abstract: A push button switch (3) encounters, during a stroke of a push rod (6) thereof, a pressure point (D), a switching (contact-making) movement, and a return tension. A one-piece spring element (16) is provided for achieving this with an uncomplicated structure, with a short stroke, and with a reliable contact once the pressure point has been overcome. The one-piece spring element has, between a contact arm (26) and a return arm (21), hairpin-shaped bent guide legs (17, 18). A sloping step (24) formed on at least one of the guide legs creates the pressure point.
