Abstract: Electronic imitation candle devices are described that produce a scent while including a flame-like element that simulates a real fire flame. One example device includes a support assembly having a base, a top plate and a support rod that connects the base and the top plate, as well as a flame element and a light source to simulate a real candle flame. The device also includes a fragrance compartment above the top plate that includes a lid removably positioned on top of the fragrance container. The device is further provided with a heating element above the top plate and below the fragrance container to provide heat to the fragrance container, and a switch coupled to the lid of the fragrance container and operable to sense that the fragrance container is covered by the lid and to deactivate the heating element when the fragrance container is covered by the lid.

Abstract: A device for a motor vehicle, includes a housing, in which electrical components are arranged, which are supplied with electrical energy across at least one electrical power supply line, which is arranged inside the housing. The housing has at least one impact switch. In the event that a mechanical force acts on the at least one impact switch in excess of a threshold value, the housing is deformed at a position of the at least one impact switch.

Abstract: Various embodiments may relate to an illuminating device including a lens unit, a housing part and a lighting assembly. The lighting assembly is arranged in a cavity defined by the lens unit and the housing part. The lens unit includes a plurality of micro lens structures, a plurality of locating structures are arranged between the plurality of micro lens structures on one side of the lens unit facing to the lighting assembly, and the locating structures at least partially pass through the lighting assembly to positionally fixed the lighting assembly in relation to the lens unit. Various embodiments may further relate to a method for manufacturing the illuminating device.

Abstract: A mechanism including: a toggle link rotatably connected to a base structure; a stop connected to the base structure for limiting a rotational travel of the toggle link; a biasing element having a first end attached to the base structure and a second end attached to the toggle link such that the toggle link is biased towards the stop when the toggle link is positioned on a first side of a singular position and the toggle link is biased towards an opposite direction from the stop when the toggle link is positioned on a second side of the singular position; and an inertial element movably disposed between the base structure and the toggle link such that that inertial element moves the toggle link from the first side of the singular position to the second side of the singular position when the base structure undergoes an acceleration event greater than a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: The various embodiments of the present invention provide an automatic vibrational electrical switch device that includes a shell, a first sphere, a transient sphere and a pressure switch. The pressing operation of the transient sphere towards an upward direction results in placing the first sphere load over pressure switch to keep the electric switch in a normal mode and when any vibration occurs in a normal mode the first sphere load is released and the electric switch is automatically operated in a quake mode.

Abstract: A multidirectional switch includes a base, a weight coupled to the base via resilient member, and at least first and second contacts coupled to the base. The weight is biased toward a neutral position spaced from the first and second contacts. The weight is movable toward and contacts the first contact when a first force is applied to the base, which deforms the resilient member in a first direction. The weight is movable toward and contacts the second contact when a second force is applied to the base, which deforms the resilient member in a second direction different than the first direction.

Abstract: A brake pedal stop lamp switch assembly includes a pedal switch plate fixed to a car body, a switch-fixing bracket mounted to the pedal switch plate and having at least one or more fixing-protrusions, a switch assembly linearly moving in a pressing direction in the switch-fixing bracket, and a hall-effect sensor that generates a signal when a magnet attached to upper portion of pedal stopper plate approaches and an electronic circuit that receives signals of the hall-effect sensor, and a plurality of teeth formed at the switch assembly to fix the switch assembly that has linearly moved relative to the switch-fixing bracket, engaged with the fixing-protrusion of the switch-fixing bracket.

Abstract: A micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) switch comprises a trench formed in a substrate. A free moving conductive mass may be formed within the cavity. When the switch is moved or otherwise acted upon my an inertial force to conductive mass makes contact with a pair of electrodes partially covering the trench thus turning the switch on.

Abstract: A lever switch for a vehicle which is easy to assemble is disclosed, which includes a control lever 50 having switches at the end thereof, a swing block 24 rotatably retaining the control lever, and a casing 1 rotatably retaining the swing block together with the control lever, for allowing the control lever 50 to be rotatably retained in two intersecting planes, a rotating shaft 24a is formed on the lower end face 24f of the swing block 24, the rotating shaft is fitted in a shaft hole 1c formed in a support surface A of the casing to retain the swing block 24 rotatably, a recessed portion 24b communicating with the control lever is formed in the outer peripheral face of the rotating shaft 24a through the lower end face supporting the rotating shaft. Wire leads 11 jutting from the switches are led to the lower part of the casing 1 through the recessed portion 24b, thus facilitating assembly as compared with a structure of wiring through a through-hole 24c at the center of the rotating shaft.

Abstract: A plurality of switchable contacts are provided on a relaying printed circuit board for centralized relaying of signals between a vehicle per se and a switch unit; a plurality of contact change-over members for connecting and disconnecting the switchable contacts are mounted on this printed circuit board; a drive member oscillatable from outside to inside of a box-shaped housing is fitted to each end of the housing in a lengthwise direction; the printed circuit board is fixed to an outer part of an under face of the housing to cause the contact change-over members to face the inside of the housing; the drive members and the contact change-over members are engaged with each other to oscillate the drive members; and the switchable contacts on the printed circuit board are thereby changed over.
