A latch switch assembly for an appliance or the like provides spring-loaded jaws to retain a latch strike when a door of the appliance is closed and a switch operator positioned behind spring-loaded jaws be activated by the latch strike when it is received.

A door lock interconnect system for interfacing with a disconnect for an electrical enclosure. The door lock interconnect system includes an interconnect assembly having a door lock lever adapted for pivotal movement about an axis, and a disconnect engagement lever adapted for pivotal movement about the axis, the disconnect engagement lever further adapted to engage with the door interlock link of the disconnect such that movement of the door interlock link causes pivotal movement of the disconnect engagement lever. The system further includes a door catch engageable by the door lock lever of the interconnect assembly and an adjustable mounting assembly for the door catch.

An electric power tool includes a relay, an electric circuit, and an operation member. The relay has a coil, contacts, and an on-switch. The relay is configured such that the coil is energized when contacts are closed by an on-switch being pressed, and contacts are held in a closed state by an electromagnetic force of coil when coil is energized. In the electric circuit, electric power from power source is supplied to motor and coil of relay, and contacts are connected in series between power source and motor. The operation member is configured to move in reciprocating manner between tool stop position at which the motor stops and tool drive position which the motor runs, where the operation member is configured to locate away from on-switch of the relay at the tool drive position and configured to press the on-switch at a position other than tool drive position.

An electrical enclosure for an electrical component includes a housing having a bus bar portion and an electrical component portion arranged to receive the electrical component. At least one shutter is moveably arranged between the bus bar portion and the electrical component portion. A shutter interlock is arranged in the electrical component portion. The shutter interlock is configured and disposed to prevent the at least one shutter from shifting from a closed position to an open position when the electrical component is absent from the electrical component portion of the housing.

The present invention relates to a door locking device for household appliances. The device according to the present invention allows to detect a door closing or opening condition, to actuate, only with the door closed, an electromagnetic actuator that triggers door locking means and a respective switch, and finally to detect the door locking condition. The operation of the door lock required by current safety standards is obtained here by means of an architecture of the door lock which allows to simplify the architecture of the door lock itself, in particular by reducing the connecting contacts with the household appliance to only two.

A safety switch includes a housing including first and second compartments that are separated by a barrier, a switch mechanism in the first compartment, one or more fuse holders in the second compartment, a first door connected to the housing and covering the first compartment, a second door connected to the housing, a handle connected to the switch mechanism, and a locking mechanism operatively connected to the handle. The handle is movable between an off position and an on position. The locking mechanism configured such that: the second door is locked in a closed position when the handle is in the on position; the second door is movable from the closed position to an open position to expose the second compartment when the handle is in the off position; and the handle is locked in the off position when the second door is in the open position.
