  • Publication number: 20230136132
    Abstract: A switch device structure includes an assembly of a main body and an operation body. An electrical connection module and an elastic unit are mounted on the main body. The contact arm of the electrical connection module has a first member and/or a second member with variable arrangement position. According to the position or motion of the operation body, the elastic unit provides an elastic force to push the contact arm of the electrical connection module into a contacting circuit closed state or make the elastic unit separate from the contact arm to form a circuit open state. The arrangement form of the first member and/or the second member of the contact arm of the electrical connection module is variable in accordance with the specification of the switch to achieve NO mode and NC mode.

  • Patent number: 11088474
    Abstract: A modularized structure of switch wire connection device includes an assembling support and a wire connection module. The assembling support has a first side and a second side. The first and/or the second sides are formed with assembling sections for assembling with the wire connection module. The wire connection module includes a first wire connection module and/or a second wire connection module each having a case. The case defines a chamber for receiving and enclosing electrical contact components including conductive members. The case is formed with a mounting section for connecting with the assembling section of the assembling support. Accordingly, the wire connection module is detachably mounted on the assembling support as an integrated form. The modularized structure enables an operator to easily assemble/disassemble the components and change the switch specification between normally open mode and normally closed mode and enhance insulation effect to avoid electric arc.

  • Patent number: 10957993
    Abstract: A connector structure includes a case seat assembly and plug assemblies. Two ends of the case seat assembly are formed with channels. Each plug assembly has a conductive section and a wire connection member. The wire connection member is formed with a receiving space for receiving a pressing leaf spring. Each pressing leaf spring has an abutment end. A lateral protrusion section is disposed on the abutment end. Multiple unlocking assemblies are disposed beside the wire connection member. Each unlocking assembly has a push member formed with a push block. The lateral protrusion section is positioned in a sliding path of the push block along the channel, whereby the lateral protrusion section can be pushed to drive the abutment end to release a conductive wire.

  • Patent number: 10714278
    Abstract: A switch device structure provides an ensuring system to improve the shortcoming of the conventional switch device. The switch device structure includes a main body and an operation button assembled with the main body. The main body defines a chamber in which a base seat is assembled. An operation body and a wire connection module are disposed on the base seat. The base seat is formed with a cavity in which an elastic unit is mounted. The elastic unit includes a fixed section and a free section. In response to the move of the operation body and with the fixed section serving as a fulcrum, the free section of the elastic unit can push a second contact of the wire connection module into contact with a first contact to close the circuit or away from the first contact to open the circuit.

  • Patent number: 10333232
    Abstract: A wire connection terminal device includes a main body and a pressing/moving unit assembled with the main body. The pressing/moving unit has a shafted section, a cam section connected with the shafted section and a force application section formed on the cam section and a press section formed on the cam section. The cam section can freely rotate or swing within a chamber defined by the main body. A metal leaf spring is disposed in the chamber of the main body for pressing and electrically connecting with a conductive wire. The metal leaf spring is responsive to the motion of the pressing/moving unit to release the conductive wire. The wire connection terminal device improves the shortcomings of the conventional structure that the volume of the case and the operational space are larger and the motional travel is longer.

  • Patent number: 9763651
    Abstract: A tendon stripper includes a stripping device and a rod. The stripping device includes a stripping member and at least one coupling member coupling to the stripping member. The stripping member has a blade portion and a separating portion separating the stripping member into several parts. The rod has a handle end and a coupling end opposite to the handle end. The coupling end couples to the coupling member of the stripping device. The separating portion allows the stripping member to be divided into first and second parts, and the first and second parts can be combined to each other to jointly receive the tendon. This avoids the generation of the incisions during the tendon transplantation. In addition, since the tendon stripper does not require any instrument for retaining the free end of the tendon, a convenient surgical procedure is provided.
