  • Patent number: 5568113
    Abstract: A magnetic type power switch includes a base, a battery received in the base, a body detachably covering the base and the battery, a slider movably received in the body, and a magnetic element. The body has a first hollow pin which has a wire soldered therein and is in contact with a negative end of the battery, a contact ring coupled to the body by a second hollow pin having another wire soldered therein, a spring disposed on the ring and in contact with the slider. When the magnetic element approaches the base of the power switch, the slider is induced to move downward to contact a positive end of the battery thereby turning on the power. When the magnetic element is moved away, the slider is biased to move upward to disconnect the battery and thereby turning off the power.

  • Patent number: 5565664
    Abstract: A vibration type circuit switch includes a base, a first electrical contact coupled to the base; a second electrical contact having a biasing element and being coupled to the base and spaced apart from the first electrical contact. A slider is in electrical contact with the biasing element of the second electrical contact and is biased away from the first electrical contact means. The first and second electrical contacts are respectively soldered to respective ends of a circuit. The slider is movable in relation to the first electrical contact such that the slider can selectively contact the first electrical contact close the circuit when the switch is subject to vibrations.
