  • Patent number: 10141132
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a dual-actuator switch, comprising: a base, a first electrical connection member, a second electrical connection member, a first isolation sleeve cylinder, a second isolation sleeve cylinder, a first actuator, a second actuator, and a cover. By pressing one of the two actuators to drive one of the two isolation sleeve cylinders to rotate, the isolation sleeve cylinder is driven to prop one of the two electrical connection members by a protrusion member thereof, such that one of two switching operations is carried out. It is worth noting that, the electrical connection members are isolated from the actuators by the isolation sleeve cylinders during the whole electrical switching procedures. As a result, ambient moisture is absolutely blocked from getting into the base for infiltrating the electrical connection members during the up and/or down motion of the actuators.

  • Patent number: 9673001
    Abstract: Differing from the conventional rotary switches, a rotary switch provided by the present invention is design to perform bidirectional rotation by double shaft, such that this rotary switch has the maximum switching levels of 32. Particularly, two retaining members having a spring accommodating trough are adopted for accommodating the compression springs; therefore, when switching the rotary switch from one switching level to another one switching level, each the retaining member does ensured to fully embed into one of the rotary grooves formed around the disk side edge of the corresponding rotary disks; the reason is that the compression springs suffer to pressing force would not bend during switching the novel rotary switch, such that the functions of the electric product can be switch smoothly and completely.

  • Patent number: 7964811
    Abstract: A moisture-proof push-button switch module includes a first casing unit, a second casing unit, a first movable structure, and a push structure. The first casing unit has a first outer moisture-proof structure disposed around its outer side. The first casing unit has a first receiving room, a second receiving room, and an opening communicating between the second receiving room and the external environment. The second casing unit is mated with the first casing unit. The second casing unit has a second outer moisture-proof structure and a first moisture block, and the first outer moisture-proof structure and the second outer moisture-proof structure are mated with each other. The first movable structure has a first movable element mated with the first moisture block. The push structure passes through the opening in order to selectably push the first movable element.

  • Publication number: 20100314889
    Abstract: A latch assembly includes a body having an accommodating space, two pairs of retaining recesses, a window, and a resilient element; a carrier received in the accommodating space and having one end pivotally connected to the body and an opposite end abutting against the resilient element; a driven member received in the accommodating space and abutting against the carrier, the driven member including a main shaft, a guide post, and a notched portion corresponding in position to the window of the body; and a driving member having a connecting portion to be inserted into the window and coupled with the notched portion of the driven member so as to form a loose fit with the driven member. When the connecting portion is inserted into the window and coupled with the notched portion, the driven member is drawn by the driving member to move and rotate within the retaining recesses.
