Publication number: 20160133401Abstract: A switch device may have a restriction member provided between a support portion and a fixed contact point portion of a polar board for restricting movement of a movable piece to the polar board. The restriction member may have a set height from the polar board such that the restriction member abuts on the movable where the fixed contact point reaches a predetermined height from the polar board due to wear. The movable piece may be supported by the support portion to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction such that when one side of the movable piece makes contact with the first fixed contact point, in a case where the restriction member makes contact with the movable piece, the movable piece may be displaced in the longitudinal direction on a basis of the contact position with the restriction member to be disconnected from the first fixed contact point.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2015Publication date: May 12, 2016Inventor: Taito Kokubu

Publication number: 20160133403Abstract: The invention proposes a key tappet for a key module of a key for a keyboard. The key tappet comprises a coupling section for coupling a key button and a guiding section for guiding the key tappet in a receiving section of the key module upon actuation of the key tappet. The guiding section has at least one sliding section to slide in the receiving section of the key module during the actuation of the key tappet. Demolding fins caused by demolding of the key tappet are arranged outside the at least one sliding section.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2014Publication date: May 12, 2016Applicant: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventor: Karl-Heinz MÜLLER

Publication number: 20160133404Abstract: A framework part of a relay and a relay. An inner hollow portion and peripheral windows are formed by the framework. The windows are communicated with the exterior of the framework and the hollow portion. At least one group of contactors that can correspondingly contact are accommodated in the hollow portion. An arc gap is formed between the contactors that can correspondingly contact. The windows are aligned with the arc gap from an outer side. A main body of the framework is a hollowed injection molding framework, and has multiple windows that are aligned with the arc gap from the outer side, so that, under the precondition of ensuring the structural strength, materials can be reduced and the cost can be reduced. The windows can be used for installing functional components such as magnetic steel, a resistant act clip or an arcing and are extinguishing piece.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2014Publication date: May 12, 2016Applicant: Xiamen Hongfa Electric Power Controls Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shuming ZHONG, Shengsheng SHI
