A hand-held power tool, in particular a screwdriver, includes an elongate housing, in which is arranged a drive motor for driving an insertion tool, which can be arranged in an associated tool holder. The housing has a grip region, in which is arranged at least one operating element for activating the drive motor. A sliding switch for activating reversing operation of the drive motor is arranged on the housing. In order for the grip region to be formed ergonomically to provide for a first and second possible grip position of the housing, the sliding switch and the operating element are arranged in the vicinity of one another in the longitudinal direction of the housing such that the operating element and the sliding switch can be operated using one finger.

A system includes a frame and a camera coupled to the frame. The camera includes a switch having an on position and an off position. The switch coupled to the frame wherein when the switch is in an off position a portion of the switch covers the lens and the camera is disable and when the switch is in an on position the portion of switch does not cover the lens and the camera is enabled.

A thin-film electric switch applicable to a surface of an electrical system having at least two electrical connections has a slider element having a flexible main body having an upper surface and a lower surface and a portion of conductive material, a first flexible sheet having an upper surface, a lower surface and a first through opening defining a housing for the flexible main body, a second flexible sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface, positioned on the first flexible sheet to at least partially overlap the first through opening and retain the flexible main body inside the first through opening. The slider element slides inside the first through opening assuming a first operating position in which the portion of conductive material connects the at least two electrical connections to each other and a second operating position in which the portion of conductive material does not connect the at least two electrical connections.

A power tool includes an electric motor, an output member selectively driven by the electric motor and a battery receptacle configured to receive a battery. The power tool also includes a switch trigger moveable between a first position and a second position. The switch trigger inhibits electrical communication between the battery and the electric motor while the switch trigger is in the first position. The switch trigger operates a switch to provide electrical communication between the electric motor and the battery while the switch trigger is in the second position. A lock actuator prevents movement of the switch trigger to the second position while the lock actuator is in a locked position, and the lock actuator permits movement of the switch trigger to the second position while in an unlocked position. The lock actuator is biased into the unlocked position while the battery is positioned in the receptacle.

A switch device includes at least one switch element actuated by a cam of a camshaft. The cam is a three-dimensional cam and the at least one switch element is arranged so as to be displaceable substantially parallel to an axis of the camshaft in order to adjust a switch point.

A push-piece winding button control device is for a portable object of small dimensions. This device includes a pivoting control stem axially movable between at least a transitory first position and a stable second position. The device further includes a position indexing plate arranged to be integral in translation with the control stem, while keeping the same orientation relative to the frame. The device also includes a cam follower arranged to cooperate with a longitudinal cam path formed in the position indexing plate. The cam path includes a recess defining the stable position of the control stem, and a ramp-shaped profile portion which rises from the recess towards the transitory position.
