A rotational over travel protection device for preventing over rotation of at least one of a cable, or a component operable with the rotational over travel protection device is provided. The device includes a housing, a rotatable shaft connected to the housing that can rotate relative to the house, and a triggering device supported in the housing and rotatable with the rotatable shaft. The device also includes a first and second rotational limit switch disposed in the housing. The switches are operable to be activated by the triggering device to arrest rotation of the rotatable shaft upon relative rotation of the rotatable shaft and the housing either a first or second rotation direction, respectively, at least 180 degrees from a zero position.

A switch system for controlling dispensing from a dispensing system. A frame is coupleable to the dispensing system and has a front and back. A lever extends between a pivot and pressing ends and is pivotally coupled to the frame, being pivotable between dispensing and non-dispensing positions. A resilient member between the lever and the back of the frame extends between an anchor and a contact region. The anchor region is coupled to the frame and the contact region is closer than the anchor region to the lever. A roller is pivotally coupled to the contact region. The resilient member biases the lever towards the non-dispensing position via the roller. An electronic switch is between the lever and the back of the frame. The electronic switch is actuated to cause dispensing when the lever is pivoted into the dispensing position.

Provided is an electric switch, including a casing, an actuator, a movable contact frame, a snap-action resilient member, a lock mechanism, a signal switch and a contact switch. The actuator is capable of reciprocating along a first direction. The movable contact frame is provided with a retaining portion. The snap-action resilient member is arranged in the movable contact frame and is compressed by the actuator when the actuator moves. The lock mechanism includes two lock members which are capable of reciprocating in the mounting cavity along a second direction with the movement of the actuator, so as to lock or unlock the retaining portion. A brush of the electric switch is arranged on the movable contact frame. A movable contact of the contact switch is arranged on the movable contact frame.

Keyboards are disclosed that are retractable. Movable magnetic or mechanical linkage elements are configured to reposition keycaps and stabilizers between different relative positions. Structures in a movable layer can act on the keycaps or stabilizers to move the keycaps and stabilizers into a retracted position for storage and for saving space in an electronic device. The stabilizers can be scissor mechanisms, butterfly mechanisms, and similar devices. The movable layer can be moved in response to rotation of a hinge or other mechanical element in the electronic device.

The snap action switch of the present disclosure may include a housing with a plurality of protruding blocks extending inwardly, a plunger disposed on the housing, a first elastic component coupled to the plunger for providing a force against the plunger, a cam located within the housing and being movable by the plunger, a rotor located within the housing and associated with the cam, and a second elastic component coupled to the rotor for providing a force against the rotor. When the cam moves to a first position, the rotor may rotate such that a lower surface of the cam engages with an upper surface of the rotor, and when the cam moves to a second position, the rotor may continue to rotate such that the upper surface of the rotor engages with a lower surface of at least one of the plurality of protruding blocks of the housing.

A switch includes a housing, a switching mechanism housed in the housing and configured to switch a state of connection between at least two terminals exposed out of the housing by using a common contact and two switching contacts, and an electronic component that is disposed in the housing and electrically connects the terminals to each other. The switching mechanism includes a first metal plate that is connected to a first contact, which is one of the common contact and the two switching contacts, and includes a first exposed part to which a first electrode of the electronic component is soldered by laser irradiation, and a second metal plate that is connected to a second contact, which is another one of the common contact and the two switching contacts, and includes a second exposed part to which a second electrode of the electronic component is soldered by laser irradiation.

An electronic control device may be configured to be integrated, or coupled, with a bicycle to control bicycle components. The electronic control device may wirelessly control bicycle components to trigger an action when actuated. The electronic control device may be dimensioned to have a mating surface contoured to matingly engage with a mounting surface of a bicycle, such as on a handlebar. The electronic control device may also be dimensioned to have a compact and/or concealed appearance aided by a low profile relative to the bicycle mounting surface selected for the control device.

A resetting element for transmitting resetting force to a thermal switch. The resetting element includes a first end and an elastic element configured to transmit a force received at the first end to the reset switch of the thermal switch, wherein the elastic element is prevents damage to the thermal switch by decreasing the force transmitted to the reset switch from the first end.

A switch circuit includes a first circuit including a first switch and first output terminals, and a second circuit including a second switch and second output terminals. The first circuit and the second circuit are connected in series. The first circuit has a circuit configuration in which a combination of resistors in a signal path between the first output terminals of the first circuit differs depending on the electrical conduction state of the first switch. The second circuit has a circuit configuration in which a combination of resistors in a signal path between the second output terminals of the second circuit differs depending on the electrical conduction state of the second switch.
