Abstract: The preset invention includes a circuit board wired to connect at least one common terminal and a plurality of signal terminals to form multiple instruction switches and an annular click member. Each of the instruction switches has an elastic contact element built with a return force. The circuit board has a plurality of displacement portions. The annular click member has actuating portions corresponding to and engageable with the displacement portions such that the annular click member is movable up and down relative to the circuit board to form a normal position and an instruction generating position. When the annular click member receives a force and is moved to the instruction generating position, a contact depresses the elastic contact element to store the return force When the force is released from the annular click member it is pushed by the return force of the elastic contact element to the normal position.

Abstract: A control structure for multi-instruction switches includes a base board, a rotary switch located on the base board and a plurality of directional switches located on the periphery of the rotary switch. The base board has a click member located thereon that has a plurality of click portions corresponding to the directional switches. The click member has an action member to drive the rotary switch. The action member and the rotary switch are interposed by an elastic support element to form a gap between the action member and the click member in regular conditions. The action member can drive the rotary switch to rotate on a rotary track to output rotational commands without interfering the click member to avoid mistakenly hitting the directional switches. The action member receives depressing force to compress the elastic support element to drive the click member and compress the directional switches to output directional commands.

Abstract: A luminous micro-switch mainly includes a case which holds a depressing member and at least a first pin and a second pin inside that are spaced from each other. There is a bridging member interposed between the two pins and the depressing member to form electric connection with the first pin in regular conditions and output a signal when the bridging member is connected to the second pin due to depressing of the depressing member. The depressing member has a depressing end which has a holding trough to hold a lighting element which has two conductive terminals to receive electric power to generate light. By holding the lighting element in the holding trough the size of the micro-switch can be made smaller to be used on smaller electronic devices to overcome the bulky problem of conventional micro-switches caused by disposing the lighting element beneath the depressing member.

Abstract: An architecture effectively connecting a rotary switch and a casing comprises: a rotary switch and a casing that is engaged with the rotary switch via a rotary disc of the rotary switch. The casing has multiple snap-fit parts corresponding to snap-fit slots of the rotary disc to form a snap-fit interconnection therebetween. When the casing is rotated, the casing will drive the rotary switch to rotate via the interconnection between the snap-fit parts and the snap-fit slots, and a signal module will output instructions corresponding to the rotation track of the rotary disc. The interconnection between the casing and the rotary disc is implemented with a snap-fit method, and the rotated casing drives the rotary disc to rotate synchronically and create signals. As the casing is engaged with the rotary disc via a snap-fit method, the casing is hard to deviate or loosen. Thus, correct instructions will be exactly output.

Abstract: A switch pin for SMD manufacturing processes to be mounted onto a circuit board includes a connection end located in a switch housing and a coupling end extended from the connection end and exposed outside the switch housing.

The limit structure has a limit component linked to the pivot for limiting the sensing component at the sensing position or the packed position, and the sensing component can produce a pulling stroke, corresponding to the ice maker, for releasing a limiting relationship between the limit component and the pivot.

Abstract: The present invention includes a wheel mounted onto an electronic device through a holding rack and turnable freely under an external force. The wheel has a click portion to generate signals that consists of concave and convex portions formed radially and equally spaced from one another. A signal generation means is provided including at least two legs and a conductive element located between the two legs having an elastic return force. The conductive element is moved to connect the two legs due to rotation of the click portion to generate instruction signals. A friction force is generated when the conductive element is connected to the click portion. A rotation resistant force is generated when the conductive element and the rotating click portion are connected. A composite force is formed by the force to generate rotation and the rotation resistant force. The composite force forms an inverse relationship with the weight of the wheel.

Abstract: A release actuation device for clipping apparatus includes a body which houses a sliding member being movable up and down. The sliding member drives a clipping member synchronously. The clipping member has an upper clipping portion and a lower clipping portion to form a clipping zone. The upper clipping portion is fastened to one end side of the sliding member through a movable linking element, and the movable linking element can drive the upper clipping portion to form a fan-shaped moving track. The upper clipping portion and the sliding member are interposed by an elastic element. The elastic element stores a returning elastic force when the upper clipping potion is moved. The returning elastic force is released to drive the upper clipping portion to an accurate return position when moving of the upper clipping portion stops. Through the elastic element, the released upper clipping portion can be opened rapidly to release a clipped article.

Abstract: A signal pin of switches is extended outside from the interior of a switch and has a bend surface and a force receiving surface. The bend surface has an indented bend section which has an inner end spot to divide the signal pin into a bracing arm portion and a bending portion. The first torque between the inner end spot and the bend surface of the bending portion is greater than the second torque between the inner end spot and the bend surface of the bracing arm portion. Therefore the signal pin can be easily bent by an external force.
