  • Patent number: 5113048
    Abstract: A positionally neutral, liquid tight signaling device includes an electrical contact switch remotely actuated by a pneumatic squeeze bulb. A gas permeable, flexible diaphragm divides the internal chamber of the signaling device into a switching portion and an isolated actuating portion. First and second electrical contacts within the switching portion are biased into an open circuit position by a compression spring. The selective collapsing of the squeeze bulb creates an overpressure in the actuating portion of the internal chamber, collapsing the diaphragm and shifting the two electrical contacts into abutting, electrically conducting relationship.
