Abstract:
A switch having a transparent area and suitable for placing over a video display without obscuring the information displayed beneath the switch. The switch comprises an elastically bendable conducting strip which, when a top transparent member of the switch is pushed, is forced into contact with a conducting area on the top transparent member. The natural elasticity in the bendable strip serves to break the contact between the conducting area and the bendable strip when the switch is released.
Abstract:
A manual keyboard includes a nomenclature bearing sheet supported on a rigid frame having finger keying openings through which soft elastomeric pads project. Below the pads an actuator sheet bearing clusters of individual projections is positioned with the projections aligned with the openings for operation of the actuable inputs of an array of diaphragm switches including a plurality of electrical contacts. Stops for projections include a peripheral array of additional projections which can be shorter, elevated adjacent surface areas or rings.
Abstract:
An array of pushbuttons is formed as domes in a plate of springy material. The domes behave in the manner of the base of an oilcan-snapping in when pressure is applied to close pushbutton contacts and snapping out to open the contacts when pressure is released.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a vacuum circuit breaker (1) including a vacuum interrupter (3) accommodated in a ground tank (2) filled with insulating gas. At least one of a fixed electrode (10) and a movable electrode (11) of the vacuum interrupter (3) uses an electrode material in which particles containing a solid solution of a heat resistant element and Cr are finely and uniformly dispersed and in which Cu textures as a high conductive component are finely and uniformly dispersed. The electrode material contains 20 to 70% by weight of Cu, 1.5 to 64% by weight of Cr and 6 to 76% by weight of the heat resistant element relative to a weight of the electrode material. The particles of the solid solution in the electrode material have an average particle size of 20 μm or smaller.
Abstract:
A switch of nonmetallic macromolecular conductive material being water-resistant and resistant to oxidation includes a circuit board having electronic circuitry and a plurality of electrical contact assemblies on a top surface; and a plurality of elastic members mounted on the circuit board and each including a bottom opening, and a stem on a bottom of a top extending downward toward the bottom opening. Each electrical contact assembly is surrounded by the elastic member and the circuit board. An electrically conductive member made of nonmetallic macromolecular conductive material is formed on a bottom of the stem. An electrical contact made of nonmetallic macromolecular conductive material is formed on each electrical contact assembly. A process of manufacturing same is also included.
Abstract:
Provided is an electrode material constituting a movable electrode 50 of a thermal fuse 1, wherein the electrode material has a clad structure where a base layer including Cu or a Cu alloy is joined to a contact point layer made of a Ag—CuO based oxide-dispersion-strengthened alloy. The present invention is an electrode material that is suitable for a movable electrode of a thermal fuse and can solve the problem of the failure of contact with the case in association with long-term use. In this electrode material, it is preferable that a contact layer including Ag be joined to a back surface of the base layer in order to improve resistance to contact with a case 10.

An electrical contact comprising a silver-coated stainless steel strip, which has an underlying layer comprising any one of nickel, cobalt, nickel alloys, and cobalt alloys, on at least a part of the surface of a stainless steel substrate, and has a silver or silver alloy layer formed as an upper layer, in which a copper or copper alloy layer with a thickness of 0.05 to 2.0 μm is provided between the silver or silver alloy layer and the underlying layer; and a producing method of the above-described electrical contact, in which the silver-coated stainless steel strip is subjected to a heat-treating in a non-oxidative atmosphere.
Abstract:
An electrical contact area on a printed circuit board (“PCB”), that would otherwise be subject to abrasion and possibly also corrosion, can be protected by covering it with another, more durable contact structure that is bonded to the first-mentioned contact area using an anistropic conductive adhesive (“ACA”). The more durable contact structure may include a member of PCB material or the like with electrically connected electrical contacts on its upper and lower surfaces. At least the upper one of these contacts (which is exposed for the service that involves possible abrasion and/or corrosion) may be given high durability by plating it with hard gold. The lower of these contacts is adhered to the main PCB via the above-mentioned ACA.
