Example motor assemblies for architectural coverings are described herein. An example motor assembly includes a motor, a first switch to trigger the motor to retract an architectural covering, a second switch to trigger the motor to extend the architectural covering, and an actuator positioned to activate the first switch when the actuator is rotated in a first direction and to activate the second switch when the actuator is rotated in a second direction. Also described herein are example lever actuators for motor assemblies of architectural coverings. An example lever actuator detaches from the motor assembly to prevent excess force on the motor assembly that could otherwise detrimentally affect the motor assembly.

A thermal overcurrent circuit breaker having a switch housing in which a thermal expansion element and a snap-action switching mechanism, which is coupled to the thermal expansion element and can be manually operated, and also a moving contact, which interacts with the snap-action switching mechanism, and a fixed contact are arranged, the fixed contact being connected to a first connection rail while contact is made with the moving contact by a second connection rail by means of the thermal expansion element. The switch housing has a number of connection chambers in which in each case one of the connection rails is arranged, wherein a two-limb spring element for making clamping contact with a connection line, which is guided into the connection chamber via a first housing opening and has the connection rail, is arranged in each connection chamber.

A method for forming an out of plane structure includes depositing a layer of an elastic material on a substrate wherein the elastic material has an intrinsic stress profile. The layer of elastic material is photolithographically patterned into at least two spaced-apart elastic members. An electrically non-conductive tether layer joins the elastic members. A portion of the substrate is etched under the elastic members to release a free end of each elastic member, while leaving an anchor portion of each elastic member fixed to the substrate. The stress profile of the elastic members biases the free ends of the elastic members away from the substrate forming loops. The structure is electroplated by applying a voltage having a first polarity between an anode and the structure while the structure is in an electroplating bath. Subsequent to the electroplating, the polarity of the voltage between the anode and the structure is reversed.

An assembly including: a disk spring; a plurality of normally closed contacts disposed in a plane below the disk spring; a plurality of normally open contacts disposed in a plane above the disk spring; a pivot ring supporting a lower surface of the disk spring; and an actuating pin having a shoulder in contact with an upper surface of the disk spring; where a movement of the actuating pin away from a header assembly snap deflects the disk spring to a first position to contact the plurality of normally open contacts, and a movement of the actuating pin towards the header assembly snap deflects the disk spring to a second position to contact the plurality of normally closed contacts.

A modular transfer switch (22) and actuator (20) wherein multiple transfer switches are connectable in linear arrangement with the actuator such that the actuator controls the position of all of the transfer switches. Each of the transfer switches (22) includes a contact assembly (48) that converts over-rotation of the drive linkage (26) in the transfer switch to added pressure between the load contacts and the power contacts in the contact assembly.
