  • Publication number: 20140367234
    Abstract: A dustproof and waterproof switch, in particular for a seat belt buckle of restraint systems of motor vehicles for indicating that the latch plate has been inserted into the seat belt buckle and properly locked, includes two contact plates, composed of a fixed contact plate and a contact spring plate, wherein the contacting regions of the contact plates are disposed in a housing-interior of the switch housing which is protected from foreign matter, and the switch can be activated by moving a slide in a channel disposed lateral to the housing-interior, whereby the spring contact plate is deflected by way of an actuating bracket which is pivotably mounted in the switch housing at one end and penetrates the side of the housing-interior facing the channel at the other end by means of an angled section.

  • Patent number: 4299337
    Abstract: A pulsed-flow apparatus for spectrometers and the like has a mixing chamber and two syringes each adapted to contain a different liquid and both connected to the mixing chamber. The plunger of each syringe has an outwardly extending rod provided with a toothed rack. A pair of electric armatures are provided, each reciprocable lengthwise of one of the rods and carrying a pressure spring which moves with the armature and, during each move of the armature towards the syringe, advances the plunger deeper into the syringe by the length of one tooth of the rack, but does not extract it when the armature subsequently moves in the opposite direction.
