A magnetic switch controlled circuit for an electrical appliance includes a voltage input terminal, a voltage output terminal, a magnetic switch, a relay circuitry and a turn-off delay circuitry. When the magnetic switch detects a first change in the magnetic field from an idle status, the relay circuitry is configured to output an output voltage to the voltage output terminal so as to supply power to the electrical appliance. When the magnetic switch detects a second change in the magnetic field from the first change in the magnetic field, the turn-off delay circuitry is configured to control the relay circuitry to continue outputting the output voltage to the voltage output terminal for a predetermined period of time, the relay circuitry being switched off by the turn-off delay circuitry after the predetermined period of time elapses.

Switch apparatus (54), designed to detect relative movement between first and second members (60, 62), includes a switch assembly (48) comprising a switch unit (20), a biasing element (50), and an operating member (52). The unit (20) has a conductive housing (22) with first, second, and third electrical pin contacts (36-40) and a shiftable body (46). The body (46) is magnetically correlated with both the element (50) and operating member (52). When the members (60, 62) are close, the operating member (52) maintains the shiftable body (46) in one switch position, whereas when the members (60, 62) are separated, the biasing element (50) magnetically moves body (46) to another switch position, thereby detecting the relative movement).

A safety power connector includes a male section that has contacts for carrying electric current, one or more magnets, and a protrusion. A female section has a receptacle for receiving the protrusion and contacts that mate with contacts of the male section. When the male section is absent, no hot electrical potential is present at the contacts of the female section, thereby reducing potential for an electric shock. When the male section aligns with the female section and the protrusion inserted into the centrally located receptacle of the female section causes closure of a switch in the female section and a magnetic field from the one or more magnets of the male section cause closure of a magnetically actuated switch caused, providing electrical potential to the contacts of the female section that are now in contact with the contacts of the male section.

A lighted handbag assembly for facilitating locating of items in the handbag includes a shell that defines an interior space. The shell has a top that is open. A power module is coupled to the shell and is positioned in the interior space. A light is coupled to the shell. The light is positioned to selectively illuminate the interior space.

A switch system that includes a switch assembly with a housing having a bottom surface that includes a latch pocket defined therein. The latch pocket includes a top surface and the housing defines an interior that includes either a magnetic switch or a magnet disposed therein. One of the magnetic switch or magnet is positioned adjacent the top surface of the latch pocket in the other is associated with the distal end of latch bolt. The system also includes a latch bolt. When the latch bolt is in the unlatched position it is not received in the latch pocket, the magnetic switch is in the first state and an electrical component is in a first state. When the latch bolt is in the latched position it is received in the latch pocket, the magnetic switch is in the second state and the electrical component is switched to a second state.

A multi configuration magnetic sensor mounting adapter comprising of a mounting adapter and a magnetic capsule to mount magnetic door sensors on a door or a door frame. At least four different configurations are possible using the combination of the magnetic capsule and the multi-configuration magnetic sensor mounting adapter to accommodate common scenarios of installation over the most common variety of door and door frame configurations for magnet sensor installation purposes. The mounting adapter also provides an installer with an adjustment feature that can be utilized to maintain within proper gapping tolerances in between sensor switch and magnet.

A power-assisted magnetic proximity switch comprises a shell; the inner chamber of the shell is provided with a magnet, a first terminal and a second terminal; the first terminal and the second terminal are disposed in parallel at intervals, and each terminal vertically penetrates into the lower end plate of the shell; the upper end of the second terminal is transversely provided with an elastic contact piece; the free end of the elastic contact piece is disposed above the first terminal; a power-assisted rod is disposed in the shell, and the outer end of the power-assisted rod is hinged with the shell; an elastic tongue piece is disposed on the elastic contact piece.

Aspects of the present disclosure include an over-travel limiting system having an coupling assembly configured to couple to an overhead rail, a track assembly including a track engagement feature, wherein the track assembly is disposed at an angle with respect to the coupling assembly, an arm assembly having an arm and a track guide portion mateably engageable with the track engagement feature of the track assembly, the arm assembly being configured to move along the track engagement feature between a first position and a second position, and one or more proximity sensors coupled to at least one of the track assembly and the arm assembly and configured to detect movement of the arm assembly with respect to the track assembly.
