Abstract: A window safety and security device detects unauthorized movement of a double-hung window upon which the device is installed and communicates an alarm in response to the detecting. The device includes a single, high-powered suction cup with a housing configured to be removably attached to an inside glass pane of a first sash of the double-hung window formed with a first and a second sash, a first electrical switch including an actuator that toggles the switch contacts between an open or non-conducting state to a closed or conducting state when armed (powered) in a case where part of the window contacts and depresses the actuator. The device also includes a light or buzzer, which are activated when the first switch is caused to conduct. Preferably, a second electrical switch is included for “arming” and “disarming” the device.

Abstract: A window safety and security device detects unauthorized movement of a double-hung window, sliding window, or door upon which the safety and security device is installed and communicates an alarm in response to the detecting. The device includes a housing, a suction cup affixed to or integral with the housing configured to be removably attached to an inside glass pane of a first sash of a double-hung window, sliding window or door. An electrical switch is disposed in, on or affixed to the housing for contacting a portion of a second sash when the second sash is slid to a fixed position to actuate the switch. A light or a buzzer or both communicates a detected window or door movement sufficient to cause a change of state in the switch.

The portable circular saw has a power supply unit including a first power socket that is provided at the front side of the portable circular saw and selectively electrically connectable to the motor of the portable circular saw, a second power socket provided at the rear side of the portable circular saw and selectively electrically connectable to the motor of the portable circular saw, and a power cable for connecting an external power source to one of the first power socket and the second power socket.

Abstract: A chest refrigerator and/or freezer with a carcass and a cover movable relative to the carcass, includes a pane, preferably a pane of glass or plastics, or is formed by the pane, with a heating element provided by which the pane can be heated.

Abstract: A theft-deterrent device includes first and second members mountable on a pair of sliding doors for activating an alarm when the doors are opened, and is particularly useful with a display cabinet containing items of merchandise and having transparent sliding doors. The alarm may be mounted on the cabinet with a tether connecting the alarm and one of the first and second members. Preferably, a magnet and a magnetically activated switch are carried by the first and second members so that when the magnet moves away from the switch, an electrical circuit opens to activate the alarm. The first member is connected to one door with a portion adjacent one side of the door and a portion extending around the end of the door. The second member is connected to the other door and is preferably a thin member which fits between the doors when opened.

Abstract: A substantially flat control element for controlling a vehicle component has touch-sensitive regions and is configured to generate control signals for moving the vehicle component into respective end positions in response to a first and a third one of the touch-sensitive regions of the control element being touched. A second region of the control element has subregions for allowing a variable adjustment of the vehicle component into intermediate positions between the end positions.

Abstract: A portable integrated device and a method of controlling power thereof. The method of controlling power to a digital integrated device which includes a first body and a second body slidingly attached to each other and a first mode and a second mode including sliding the first body relative to the second body from an open position to a closed position, turning off power of the digital integrated device in the first mode, and maintaining the power of the digital integrated device in the second mode. Accordingly, power control may be performed differently according to whether the sliding part is open or closed and whether the preset function mode of the portable integrated device is a camera mode or a non-camera mode, so that functions of the non-camera modes can be maintained even when the sliding part is closed.

Abstract: A detecting system capable of detecting an open/closed state of a cover equipped to a body of a device is provided. The detecting system comprises a body, a cover that moves in a range between an open position and a fully-closed position, a detecting unit that detects open state and closed state of the cover, an actuating mechanism equipped to the cover, a part of which is shifted in a first direction according to opening motion and closing motion of the cover, and affects the detecting unit, and a releasing mechanism by which the part of the actuating mechanism is shifted in a second direction when the cover in the open position is brought in a position in adjacent to the fully-closed position and when the cover in the fully-closed position is opened to a predetermined extent to be in the position in adjacent to the fully-closed position.

Abstract: An open window security lock consisting of a staff having a suction cup for attachment of the staff to the window which allows a sliding window sash to open a small amount for ventilation but not opening enough to admit an intruder. The staff upper end has a switch to sound an alarm if the upper end is moved away from touching the fixed upper frame. An alarm switch can be a displacement detector, motion detector or vibration detector. The staff length is adjustable. A length clamping can be a detent button, staff wall set screw, metal collar with a set screw, hose clamp, or an eccentrically pinned lever. The alarm may include wireless transmitter communicating with a wireless receiver.

Abstract: A safety switch (1, 101) for switching a connection in relation to the status of a device to be monitored. The safety switch (1, 101) utilizes an actuator (2, 102) that that can be inserted into the safety switch (1, 101) from a first side (6, 106) and can be withdrawn from a second side (30, 130). The actuator (2, 102) forms a releasable locking engagement with an actuator receptacle (8, 108) located inside the safety switch (1, 101) to form a signal transfer (14,16). The safety switch (1, 101) also can have an ejector that removes the actuator from the actuator receptacle (8, 108).

Abstract: A sliding contact mechanism includes a sliding door contact, a spring having one end connected to the sliding door contact and another end connected to the sliding door of a mini-van, and a pillar contact attached to the stationary pillar of the mini-van. The pillar contact has a shape complementary to a shape of the sliding door contact. When the sliding door is in a closed position, the sliding door is adjacent the pillar and the sliding door contact engages and is in a closed electrical connection with the pillar contact. When the sliding door is in an open position, the sliding door is not adjacent the pillar and the sliding door contact is an open electrical connection with the sliding door contact.

Abstract: A pull station for an alarm includes a housing with a handle mounted for sliding movement within the housing. The housing includes a window for a user to access the handle for forcibly sliding the handle in a vertical direction. A latch is rotatably mounted to the handle and spring biased to rotate to a locked position upon sliding movement of the handle. The latch has a portion which moves to bear against a stationary element of the housing to establish the locked position. The housing can be opened to reset the handle without changing the state of the alarm. Closing of the housing automatically resets the alarm. An attached terminal block includes a plurality of U-shaped terminal elements each having a screw terminal, a solder lug and a press pin.

Abstract: A cover structure for the cover of an electronic device where a first part is movable in relation to a second part is described. The first part comprises a certain electrical component (303, 503) and means (307, 308, 309, 506, 507, 508, 509, 510) for forming an electrically conducting connection between the first and second parts. The first part comprises an outer cover part (301, 501) and an inner cover part (302, 502) of substantially the same size, whereby the electrical component is located between the inner cover part and the outer cover part. Further the first part comprises slide conductors (308, 309, 506, 507) on such a surface of the inner cover part which is not against the outer cover part.
