Patent number: 8763637Abstract: A rotary valve position indicator utilizes a magnet keyed to a shaft, and a magnetic field sensor mounted beside the magnet, to indicate the angular position of the shaft. A magnetic pole sensor detects the initial polarity of the magnet during setup to determine how to correlate the output readings of the magnetic field sensor with the position of the valve. The sensors are located so they permit the shaft to extend through to a mechanical visual indicator.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2010Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Soldo S.r.l. Socio UnicoInventors: Giovanni Soldo, Mark E. Peters

Patent number: 8375883Abstract: A rotary switch comprising a body housing inside itself a rotating shaft operatively connected to a valve or actuator. The switch further comprises a cover, associated to the body by threaded coupling means, provided with an indicator swivelling integrally with the shaft, so that it enables visual signalling of the angular position and/or operating status of the shaft. The switch comprises centering means, mechanically distinct from the threaded coupling means, which ensure the centering of the cover in relation to the body and the coaxial relation between the cover and the rotating shaft.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2007Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Soldo S.r.l.

Patent number: 8294541Abstract: A switch device includes a container of the hermetic type, at least one switch contained inside the hermetic container, and actuation devices at least partially contained inside the container and suitable to actively select the switch. The actuation devices have at least one internal ferromagnetic element, moving inside the container so as to influence an actuation button of the switch, and a transmission body having a first extremity which interfaces in contact with said internal ferromagnetic element and a second extremity which interfaces in contact with said actuation button. The transmission body is a rigid body which receives and transmits the movement of the internal ferromagnetic element from a rest position in which it does not cause the actuation button to be actuated and a functioning position in which it presses and acts on the actuation button by contact.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2010Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Soldo S.r.L.

Publication number: 20110205004Abstract: A switch device comprising a container of the hermetic type, at least one switch contained inside the hermetic container, actuation devices at least partially contained inside the container and suitable to actively select the switch. Advantageously, the actuation devices comprise at least one internal ferromagnetic element, moving inside the container so as to influence an actuation button of the switch, and comprising in addition a transmission body having a first extremity which interfaces in contact with said internal ferromagnetic element and a second extremity which interfaces in contact with said actuation button. The transmission body is a rigid body which receives and transmits the movement of the internal ferromagnetic element from a rest position in which it does not cause the actuation button (28) to be actuated and a functioning position in which it presses and acts on the actuation button by contact.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2010Publication date: August 25, 2011Applicant: SOLDO S.R.L.
