A vehicular slider window assembly includes a frame having upper and lower rails. A fixed window has an opening and the rails are attached at the fixed window. A movable window is movable between a closed position and an opened position. A carrier disposed at a lower edge of the movable window moves with the movable window between the opened and closed positions. A sensing system determines when the movable window is in the closed position and includes a switch assembly that is actuated when the movable window is in the closed position. The switch assembly includes a switch device within a housing. A portion of the housing is an end stop configured to limit movement of the carrier when the movable window is in the closed position. The switch device includes a contact and, when the movable window is in the closed position, the contact actuates the switch device.

A door for a charging port of a vehicle includes a switch that transmits a control signal, a housing rim that is fixed to the vehicle and accommodates the switch, a door panel configured to open or close the housing rim based on the control signal, a spring that applies a pushing force to the door panel with respect to the housing rim, and a spring cover configured to be seated on the housing rim, accommodating the spring. When the door panel is moved toward the housing rim by an external pressure, the switch is operated.

A switching device for switching an electric motor, where the switching device is arranged on a component which is driven in rotation by the motor. The switching device is characterized in that a contactless, absolute position-measuring device, an evaluation unit for evaluating position signals and an output unit for outputting switching information for indirectly switching and/or directly switching the motor current as a function of a position signal are provided within a single housing.

An electronic gaming machine including a cabinet defining an interior space. The electronic gaming machine also includes a door releasably fastened to the cabinet operable to move between a locked state preventing access to the interior space and an unlocked state permitting access to at least a portion of the interior space. A security housing comprising a locking assembly and an optical switch coupled to a processor. The locking assembly includes an actuator defining a channel. The optical switch comprises a transmitter and a receiver. When the door engages the locking assembly, the actuator is operable to move the channel to align with the transmitter and the receiver to form an optical path between the transmitter and the receiver through the channel and the optical switch is operable to communicate the locked state to at least one of the processor, the server computer, and the gaming system.

The present invention is to provide a vehicle door switch that is capable of adjusting the amount of movement made by a rod with ease and a method for attaching a vehicle door switch. A vehicle door switch includes a rod configured to move as a door is closed, a detecting unit configured to output a detection signal when one of ends of the rod has moved by a predetermined distance or more, and a limiting unit configured to limit the amount of movement made by the rod within a range where the detecting unit outputs the detection signal.

A system and method which allows automatic recognition of any of three common monitored motorized door or gate safety edges or other entrapment protection devices. The invention allows retrofitting existing motorized door operators without enough monitored input ports to allow for more monitored entrapment devices required on laterally moving motorized gates. The system interfaces with obstruction monitoring devices in normally closed, pulsed, or resistive termination operating environments found in entrapment protection systems. Firmware logically analyzes the state of each edge or entrapment protection device to select and direct an appropriate output signal for a motorized gate operator. An operational example is disclosed which provides for up to six different device inputs and two separate outputs for the motorized door operator, which can be configured through dual inline package switches allowing field configuration.

A drive device for a vehicle flap includes an electric motor (2) for driving the vehicle flap, and a supply switching circuit (3). The supply switching circuit (3) includes a first voltage source (9) for supplying current to the electric motor (2), a first electrical supply line (4) and a second electrical supply line (5). The first voltage source (9) is arranged between the first electrical supply line (4) and the second electrical supply line (5). The drive device also includes a control switching circuit (12) including a second voltage source (14) and a switching control device (13). The drive device includes a switching element (10) and a diode (11) connected between the first electrical supply line (4) and the second electrical supply line (5).

An opening/closing body drive device includes: a motor which opens or closes an opening/closing body; a drive unit which rotates the motor; and a control unit which controls the drive unit. The drive unit includes a first and second integrated circuits having first and second switching elements and third and fourth switching elements which are connected to each other in series with respect to a power source and connection points of which are connected to one and the other terminals of the motor, respectively. The control unit turn-on drives the first and fourth switching elements or the second and third switching elements when driving the motor to be rotated forward or reversely. The control unit turn-on drives any one of the second and third switching elements when braking the motor during the forward rotation of the motor.

A trailer hitch detection system may include a sensor mounted in or over an opening defined through a wall of a trailer hitch receiver mounted to a motor vehicle, the sensor configured to be responsive to receipt of a trailer hitch assembly in the trailer hitch receiver to exhibit at least a first sensor characteristic, and to absence of the trailer hitch assembly in the trailer hitch receiver to exhibit at least a second sensor characteristic discernably different from the first sensor characteristic, and signal processing circuitry operatively coupled to the sensor and configured to produce at least one trailer hitch detection signal indicating receipt of the trailer assembly in the trailer hitch receiver in response to the first sensor characteristic and indicating absence of the trailer hitch assembly in the trailer hitch receiver in response to the second sensor characteristic.

A playpen door, including a door frame; a door body movably mounted on the door frame; and a detection assembly mounted on the door frame and the door body and configured to detect open or closed state of the door body. The door body is hinged to the door frame. A locking assembly is arranged between the door body and the door frame. The locking assembly may be opened by a switch. The detection assembly is mounted away from a position where the door body is hinged to the door frame. When the door body rotates relative to the door frame, the detection assembly may be triggered, at which time the door body may be sensed to be open. When the door body returns to the closed position again after opening, the detection assembly may be triggered, at which time the door body may be sensed to be closed.
