  • Patent number: 10479096
    Abstract: A device for introducing and maintaining a cartridge in a CIJ-type inkjet printer comprises a first support having two lateral sides, a back side and a front opening, this first support able to contain a cartridge and the back side having a fluidic connector. A second support, called the cartridge support, against which a cartridge can be maintained, can be actuated in rotation about a first axis of rotation extending between the two lateral sides of the first support between a position for loading and unloading a cartridge and a position for connecting a cartridge to the fluidic connector. The second support is, in the position for connecting, contained within the first support and comprises at least an opening this is opposite, or in contact, with the fluidic connector of the back side of the first support. An actuator is provided to rotate the second support about the first axis.

  • Patent number: 8183484
    Abstract: A detection device having a body including an electric contact with at least two electric operating states, and a movable operating device having at least two operating positions. The movable operating device is connected to the body by a sliding connection permitting translational movement of the movable operating device, and a connection permitting the operating device, to swivel with respect to the body. A change of position of the movable operating device actuates the electric contact. The swivel connection is between the movable operating device and the body, and the movable operating device actuates the change of electric operating state of the electric contact by pressing directly on a contact surface of the electric contact.

  • Patent number: 7915982
    Abstract: A device for detecting three states, namely ‘on’, ‘off’ and ‘triggered’ of an electric circuit breaker. The device includes a mobile magnetic device, movable between three positions corresponding to the three states of the circuit breaker, and at least one permanent magnet generating a magnetic field provided with magnetic field lines for driving two DIP switches via the magnetic effect. In each of the magnetic device's positions, the two DIP switches are controlled in either an open or closed position to form a specific combination representing one of the three states of the circuit breaker.

  • Patent number: 7851716
    Abstract: A detection device comprises a case formed by at least a first and second part able to move with respect to one another between a first and second operating position. Said device comprises an electric contact comprising at least two electric states, closed or open, each electric state being associated with one of the operating positions of the first and second parts, and securing means designed to fix said case onto an external support. Said securing means comprise locking means designed to perform holding of the two parts of the case in one of the two operating positions, fixing of the case onto the support by the securing means rendering the locking means inoperative.

  • Publication number: 20100090506
    Abstract: A detection device comprises a body (1) comprising an electric contact (3) with at least two electric operating states and a movable operating device (2) having at least two operating positions. The movable operating device (2) is connected to the body (1) by a sliding connection allowing movement of the movable operating device (2) in translation and by at least one swivel connection enabling the operating device (2) to swivel with respect to the body (1) around a pressing point (P). A change of position of the movable operating device (2) is designed to actuate the electric contact device (3). The pressing point (P) is positioned between the movable operating device (2) and the body (1), and the movable operating device (2) is designed to actuate the change of electric operating state of the electric contact (3) by pressing directly on a contact surface (31) of said electric contact.

  • Patent number: 6998555
    Abstract: An electrical miniswithch comprising a case including a case part forming a base having several electrical terminals extending therefrom, and a case part forming a cover, an instantaneous switching mechanism located in the case and comprising a flexible conducting blade subjected to a substantial pre-stress, and a push-button mounted sliding through the part of the case forming the cover to actuate the instantaneous mechanism. The miniswitch also comprises a compression spring opposing sliding of the push-button so that in the break position of the miniswitch the flexible conducting blade is biased by th push-button and the spring, retained by a stop on the push-button, and in the switched or make position of the miniswitch the conducting blade is not subjected to constraint from the push-button and the compression spring.

  • Publication number: 20050109601
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical miniswitch comprising a case including a case part forming a base wherefrom several electrical terminals are salient and a case part forming a cover, an instantaneous switching mechanism placed in the case and comprising a flexible conducting blade subjected to a substantially longitudinal pre-stress, and a push-button mounted sliding through the part of the case forming the cover so as to actuate the instantaneous mechanism. According to the invention the miniswitch also comprises a compression spring opposing sliding of the push-button so that in the break position of the miniswitch the flexible conducting blade is kept biased by the push-button and the spring, by means of a stop placed on the push-button, and that in the switched position of the miniswitch the conducting blade is not subjected to any constraint from the push-button and the compression spring.
