  • Publication number: 20110036694
    Abstract: A switch having an automatic shut-off or “on” feature which turns off/on the switch after a defined period of time has elapsed. The invention has the option of leaving the toggle or rocker in the original on/off position instead of a physical movement to the other position. The switch would have a timer/sensor for auto turn-off or on, and could have a motion sensor, PIR or Black Body Radiation Detector, clock or any future “human detector” to be developed. One purpose is to make sure the lights, fan or energy using device are guaranteed turned “off” and give the ability to control on/off with other methods. This invention gives the option for the physical toggle or rocked to remain in the original position after switch is turned “off”. It still has the ability to be turned off by manually switching the toggle or rocker to the other position and can continue to use the override buttons.

  • Patent number: 7525058
    Abstract: A “light switch” that is the most common and easiest to operate. The toggle switch, rocker switch or paddle switch, is used for turning on and off 110 volt ac lights. The switch can be preset, before installation, to a time duration keeping lights on from five minutes to eight hours. After the preset time expires the toggle flips to the “off” position. Optional connections for low voltage control wires enable the switch to also be toggled on and off by a remote or outside source.
