Patent number: 4467160Abstract: A low profile switch key has a base which slidingly supports a pushbutton. The pushbutton is slidingly engaged with a plunger body by a lost motion connection. The plunger body carries cams which control the flexing of contactors to make and break conductive connections with adjacent stationary contacts. A coil spring biases the pushbutton upwardly to its rest position. The sliding lost motion between the pushbutton and plunger body allows the pushbutton to slide by itself over an initial pretravel interval when it is pressed. At the end of the pretravel interval, the pushbutton strikes the plunger body and carries the body downward to complete the key stroke. The plunger body resists sliding movement and therefore provides a perceptible pressure point which indicates actuation of the switch. The stationary contacts and associated overlying cams are interlocked when the pushbutton is depressed to provide a relatively low switch profile with respect to the length of the key stroke.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 1983Date of Patent: August 21, 1984Assignee: Cherry Electrical Products CorporationInventors: Gunter Murmann, Gunter Bauer

Patent number: 4379127Abstract: A method of recovering molybdenum oxide by oxidation of a molybdenum sulfide concentrate contaminated with impurities wherein the concentrate in an average particle size in the range of 20 to 90 microns is suspended to form an aqueous suspension which is oxidized at elevated temperature and an elevated oxygen partial pressure in an autoclave. The suspension withdrawn from the autoclave is subjected to filtration to remove the molybdenum oxide from the primary filtrate containing sulfuric acid and this filtrate is neutralized with lime to form calcium sulfate which is then removed from the suspension to provide a second filtrate. According to the invention, only this second filtrate is recirculated at a rate such that the suspension density in the oxidation stage is between 100 to 150 g of solids per liter and this suspension density is maintained in the oxidation stage by the recirculation.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1981Date of Patent: April 5, 1983Assignee: GfE Gesellschaft fur Elektrometallurgie mbHInventors: Gunter Bauer, Joachim Eckert
