BOAT LIFT CONTROL SYSTEM HAVING ELECTRICALLY-INSULATED INTERFACE FOR MANUAL CONTROL OF LIFT OPERATION
20230060759 · 2023-03-02 ·

A boat lift control system includes a first contactor switch and a second contactor switch. Each contactor switch, when activated, couples an AC voltage source to a boat lift motor. The first contactor switch includes a first override button. The first contactor switch is activated when the first override button is engaged. The second contactor switch includes a second override button. The second contactor switch is activated when the second override button is engaged. The first contactor switch and second contactor switch are positioned to linearly align the first override button with the second override button. An electrically non-conductive interface is adapted for user manipulation thereof resulting in engagement of the interface with one of the first override button and second override button.

Rolling-ball tilt switch
11631556 · 2023-04-18 ·

A rolling-ball tilt switch includes a conductive housing having an inner surface that surrounds a longitudinal axis and that defines a roller cavity, an insulating seat inserted into the roller cavity, a conductive terminal having a protruding section extending through the insulating seat into the roller cavity, and a conductive rolling-ball disposed in the roller cavity and movable between a conducting position and a non-conducting position. The longitudinal axis and an extension of a surface portion of the inner surface of the conductive housing cooperatively define an angle ranging from 5 to 55 degrees.

Control elements for materials handling vehicles

A plurality of control elements extend from the base portion of a control module in a materials handling vehicle. The control elements are located adjacent to one another, wherein at least one of the control elements includes mounting structure that permits the control element to be selectively mounted to the base portion in at least first and second positions. The first position defines a first distance between the control element and an immediately adjacent control element and the second position defines a second distance between the control element and the immediately adjacent control element, the second distance being greater than the first.
