A display type switch for a vehicle includes a first display that displays one or more symbols related to functions of the vehicle and a second display that is connected to the first display and that controls the one or more symbols displayed on the first display.

A signal switch for a power tool has a paddle supported by a rocker that extends into a switch housing to pivot an actuating member. A circuit board is attached to a bottom of the switch. At least one micro-switch extends from the circuit board into the switch in position to be actuated by the actuating member depending on a position of the paddle. The circuit board includes a connector that is configured to connect to a cable, such as a ribbon cable. Circuit traces on the circuit board are electrically connected to the micro-switches and the electrical connector. The interior of the switch housing is sealed from the exterior environment so that the mechanical components of the switch are shielded from the environment.

Provided is an article processing apparatus capable of improving waterproofness. An article processing apparatus (1) includes: a storage case (130) which stores an electric circuit portion and has an opening (131) at a side surface (130c) thereof; and a lid (140) which seals the opening (131), in which the storage case (130) has an upper surface (130a) which is inclined downward toward the side surface (130c) side, and an amount of protrusion of a lower end (E) of the upper surface (130a) from the side surface (130c) is greater than an amount of protrusion of the lid (140) from the side surface (130c).

A switch assembly comprises a button, a pivoting element, a first positioning element, and a second positioning element. The button has a first, second, and third states. The pivoting element extends from a height direction of the button, and has first and second contact parts arranged in the height direction. Surfaces of the first and second contact parts have different contours. The first positioning element and the second positioning element respectively correspond to the first contact part and the second contact part, and are movable relative to each other. A function of the first positioning element and a first positioning section of the first contact part is configuring the first state, and functions of the second positioning element and a second positioning section and a third positioning section of the second contact part are respectively configuring the second state and the third state.

A switch device includes an operating knob to receive switch operations for plural devices to be controlled, a detection unit attached to the operating knob to detect an operation position on the operating knob, a housing displaceably supporting the operating knob, and a control unit to control at least one of the plural devices to be controlled in response to the operation position detected by the detection unit. The control unit identifies the at least one device to be controlled in response to a displacement state of the operating knob.

An input device includes a base, an operation panel, and a shaft portion. The input device includes a first operation knob having a first operation part to swing the panel in a first swing direction and a second operation part to swing the panel in a second swing direction, the second operation knob having a third operation part to swing the panel in the second swing direction and a fourth operation part to swing the operation panel in the first swing direction. The input device includes a control unit to discriminate between a pressing operation and a pulling-up operation based on based on output of each of a swing detector, a first capacitance detection electrode, and a second capacitance detection electrode.

Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI), Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or AF/GF circuit breakers which may optionally have relatively small or compact bodies that have shaped neutral busbars and/or load terminals with an arm that extends through a window of a current transformer in a circuit breaker housing. The neutral busbar and/or load terminal can have a rigid or semi-rigid shaped body with a first segment that extends through the window of the current transformer and a second segment that extends behind the first segment about a printed circuit board. A plug-on, pigtail or bolt-on neutral can engage an electrical pad of the neutral busbar.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for a single or multi-dimmer system having improved reliable connectivity between a dimmer assembly and a switch or between two or more dimmer assemblies.
