The present invention implements, through a simple structure, the prevention of an electric shock caused by contacting an output terminal in a conducting state. This electric shock protection structure is provided with: a protective cover (40) which changes an output terminal into a non-conducting state by pressing a power switch (51) during the transition of the output terminal from a covered state to an exposed state; and a housing cover (60) which cannot be moved when the output terminal is in the non-conducting state by having an L-shaped curved section (60A), which is positioned on a different surface from the surface on which the output terminal is disposed, does not contact a contact section (44A) of the protective cover (40) when the protective cover (40) exposes the output terminal, and contacts the contact section (44A) when the protective cover (40) covers the output terminal.

A gas circuit breaker having a pair of contacts and a pair of exhaust conductors. An exhaust hole in the pair of exhaust conductors is provided with an insulation cover having an opening. The cover has a guide on an opening end on the side near the pair of contacts and an opening end on the side far from the pair of contacts respectively. The guide has an exhaust hole protective guide and a high-temperature gas passage dividing guide. A first gas flow passage is between an exhaust hole protective guide and a high-temperature gas passage dividing guide, and a second gas flow passage is between the high-temperature gas passage dividing guides. The first gas flow passage is narrower than the second gas flow passage. An end of the exhaust hole protective guide on the first gas flow passage side is projected toward the high-temperature gas passage dividing guide.

A push switch according to the present disclosure includes: a case including a recess; a fixed contact member including a fixed contact disposed in the recess; a movable contact member including a movable contact disposed in the recess; a protective sheet disposed in a first direction from the recess and covering the recess; and a rib disposed on the protective sheet. The protective sheet includes: a pressing portion; a fixed portion fixed to the case; and an intermediate portion located between the pressing portion and the fixed portion as viewed in the first direction. As the pressing portion of the protective sheet is pressed along the first direction, the movable contact member deforms by force received from the protective sheet. The movable contact touches the fixed contact as a result of the deformation of the movable contact member.

A keyswitch structure includes a switch and a multilayer structure above the switch. The multilayer structure includes an inner flexible layer, a rigid light-transmissive cover sheet, and a flexible light-transmissive layer. The inner flexible layer has a keycap portion and a connection portion extending outward from the keycap portion. The keycap portion is located above the switch and forms a spatial character structure. The rigid light-transmissive cover sheet is disposed on the keycap portion and covers the spatial character structure. The flexible light-transmissive layer covers the inner flexible layer and the rigid light-transmissive cover sheet. A keyboard includes the keyswitch structure and a device casing carrying the keyswitch structure. The multilayer structure is fixed to the device casing. The rigid light-transmissive cover sheet is harder than the flexible light-transmissive layer and structurally protects the spatial character structure from being damaged when the keyswitch structure is pressed.

A switch device includes at least one switch module and at least one welding protective plate. The switch module includes an enclosure for receiving a plurality of control terminals and a driving member therein. The control terminals respectively have an end projected from an end or a rear side of the enclosure. The driving member is controllable to change an electrically connected or disconnected state between the control terminals. The welding protective plate is provided on the enclosure at the end from where the control terminals are projected. The projected control terminals further extend through the welding protective plate to be welded to a circuit board. The welding protective plate can withstand a high temperature and is located between the switch module and the circuit board to form a thermal insulation and protection mechanism, protecting the switch module from external deformation and inner damage by the high temperature during welding.

An electromagnetic relay including a housing, a cover, an adhesive which is interposed between a side part of the housing and an inner surface of the cover and which secures the housing and the cover, and a projection which is formed in at least one of the side part and the inner surface. The adhesive is filled in a gap between the side part and the inner surface.

A plastic retaining pin for being inserted through a retaining hole in a high voltage insulating cover has a compressible nose, with the wide part of the nose being larger than the retaining hole. The pin may be on the order of 3-12 inches long. The other end of the pin has a grasping ring for receiving the hook of a hot stick. Along the length of the body of the pin is a plurality of radial portions (e.g., six or more) extending outward from a centerline of the body. These radial portions may be skirts or ribs having a diameter less than the retaining hole in the cover. The skirts or ribs greatly increase the surface leakage distance along the body of the pin and also prevent conductive liquids flowing along the body, which may lead to a flashover.

A keyboard device with a protecting function and a manufacturing method of the keyboard device are provided. Firstly, a mold is provided. Then, a frame material is placed into the mold to form a frame body, and a film material is placed into the mold to form a protective film. Consequently, the protective film is fixed on the frame body. After the mold is removed, a keyboard module is assembled with the frame body. Consequently, the keyboard device is manufactured. The protective film includes a sheet-like portion, plural connection portions and plural covering portions. The frame body includes plural spacer structures and plural perforations. The sheet-like portion is fixed on the plural spacer structures. The keyboard module includes a base plate and plural keys. The keycap is penetrated through the corresponding perforation and contacted with the corresponding covering portion.
