  • Patent number: 11935709
    Abstract: A control device includes a button assembly having one or more buttons and a button carrier that includes a plurality of resilient, independently deflectable spring arms. The control device may be configured as a wall-mounted keypad to control a load control device, or as a thermostat to control a temperature regulation appliance. The button carrier may be configured to prevent interference between the buttons during operation of the control device. The button assembly may be captured between a faceplate of the control device and a housing that is attached to a rear side of the faceplate. The control device may include one or more button retainers that are attached to the buttons and that are configured to align respective outer surfaces of the buttons relative to each other, and relative to the faceplate of the control device, when the buttons are in respective rest positions.

  • Patent number: 10507804
    Abstract: A cleaner finger assembly for cleaning compactor teeth on a compactor wheel of a compactor machine includes a cleaner finger base having a tip engaging surface and a base longitudinal axis, a cleaner finger tip having a base engaging surface and a tip longitudinal axis, and a finger tip anchoring mechanism attaching the cleaner finger tip to the cleaner finger base with the base engaging surface facing and engaging the tip engaging surface. The finger tip anchoring mechanism fails and the cleaner finger tip detaches when the cleaner finger tip is engaged by debris with a force parallel to the tip longitudinal axis, or with a force perpendicular to the tip longitudinal axis, to cause a tip shear force greater than a tip anchor shear capacity of the finger tip anchoring mechanism or a tension force greater than a tip anchor tension capacity of the finger tip anchoring mechanism.
