  • Patent number: 8558130
    Abstract: Push-button switch unit with a display device that includes a display device (3) housed in a push-button casing (4, 5) movably housed in a base casing (1). The display device (3) has a luminous display area (21) on a support plate (22) asymmetric thereto. The push-button casing is asymmetric relative to a viewing window (23) thereof, through which the luminous display area (21) is visible. The base casing (1) has a side opening (15a) to accommodate the push-button casing without the latter protruding laterally. The base casing (1) has a frame (2) attached having a bevel (16) formed around an opening (14) aligned with the viewing window (23). The bevel (16) has regular width around the entire opening (14) and protrudes laterally a regular distance from all sides of the base casing (1).

  • Patent number: 8408947
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a casing (40, 50) formed by a base body (10) and a complementary body (20, 30), which are mutually coupled by releasable fixing devices. The base body (10) has channels (12) and at least one first channel part (12a), and openings (11) in communication with the channels (12) and the first channel part (12a). The complementary body (20, 30) has a second channel part (12b) complementing the first channel part (12a) to together form another channel when the base body (10) and complementary body (20, 30) are mutually coupled. Terminals (7a) connected to conductor wires (8a) are inserted in the channels (12; 12a, 12b). Contact tabs (9a) of an electrical device (60, 70) are connected with the terminals (7a) when said contact tabs (9a) are inserted in the openings (11) of the casing (40, 50).

  • Publication number: 20100188329
    Abstract: A push button switch device with an OLED display includes a support casing for a switch, an actuating member movably assembled in the casing so as to actuate the switch, and a display assembled at an operating end of the actuating member viewable from the outside. The display is programmable so as to display images and is formed by an assembly of organic light emitting diodes, or OLEDs. The device furthermore includes a local control unit with a memory storing predetermined images and/or portions of video. The local control unit includes a field-programmable gate array, or FPGA, connected to the memory and to the display so as to control the selective switching on/off of the OLEDs and to thus display in the display at least part of the images and/or portions of video according to a certain sequence.
