Patent number: 6297462Abstract: A rotary matrix switch allows arbitrary selection from among different electrical connection configurations between m input terminals and n output terminals by rotation of a shaft or dial. A rotary shaft has a plurality of contact mechanisms at spaced locations and angular positions. The locations of the contact mechanisms correspond to individual contacts between the input and output terminals. The contact mechanisms may be lobes, indentations, conductive strips, or the like. Rotation of the shaft selectively engages ones of the contact mechanism to connect electrically various input and output terminals. The rotary shaft is removable to allow for the ability to make field upgrades and provide new configurations of connections. One embodiment of the invention can function as a telephone headset adapter, wherein rotation of a shaft allows the user to choose easily from among different handset port wiring configurations.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 1999Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: Plantronics, Inc.Inventors: Timothy P. Johnston, Dana J. Koppes, Gary T. Brint, Jeffrey P. Stram
