  • Patent number: 11205553
    Abstract: Electrical switching device, including separable electrical contacts, a switching mechanism and a control lever. This switching mechanism is designed to move the separable contacts reversibly and selectively between a stable closed state and a stable open state. The control lever can be moved between a closing position and an opening position. The switching mechanism is configured to move the separable contacts from their closed state to their open state when the lever is moved from its closing position to its opening position, and to this end includes a spring which, between the closing position of the lever and a first intermediate position referred to as the “dead point”, exerts a force that opposes the movement of the lever and which, between the dead-point position and the opening position of the lever, exerts a force that drives the contacts towards the open position.

  • Patent number: 11114255
    Abstract: An electrical switching device with separable contacts includes a switching apparatus including a fixed electrical contact and a mobile electrical contact that can be moved between a closing position and an opening position; a control lever mechanically coupled to the mobile electrical contact, the control lever being rotatable, about a first axis of rotation, between a first position and a second position; an anti-rebound lever arranged so as to move from a rest position to an opened-out position when the control lever reaches the second position. The anti-rebound lever engages a stop when it is in the opened-out position thereof and when the control lever is in the second position so as to prevent the control lever from leaving the second position.

  • Patent number: 11091268
    Abstract: A seat assembly that is attached to a floor of a vehicle. The seat assembly can include a seat with one or more flex beams that support the seat above the floor. The flex beams comprise a bowed shape with a curving intermediate section positioned between opposing ends. The flex beam is configured to compress when a force is applied to the seat assembly to absorb energy. The flex beam is also configured to impede the return of the flex beam to the first position after the force is removed.

  • Patent number: 11062858
    Abstract: An electrical switching unit with separable contacts comprises a switching device comprising: a control lever coupled mechanically to a mobile electrical contact and an anti-bounce lever, mounted on the control lever and configured to be displaced to a deployed position to cooperate with an abutment to prevent the control lever from leaving its position. The switching device comprises a fixed bearing mounted around the control lever. The anti-bounce lever comprises a contact portion which is in contact against an edge of the bearing when the anti-bounce lever is in its rest position and which is displaced along the edge when the control lever rotates about the bearing. The bearing comprises, on the edge, a guiding portion in the form of a cam configured to push the anti-bounce lever to its deployed position.
