An electrical load controller includes an electrical switching device and an actuator assembly having at least one user actuator for use in turning power on and off to the load and for use in adjustably controlling the level of power to the load. A frame attached to the actuator includes an integrally formed backlightable indicator region having an outer continuous solid surface. Light from an illumination assembly related to the level of power to the load is directable onto a portion of an inner surface of the backlightable indicator region, transmittable through the backlightable region from the inner surface to the outer surface, emittable from a portion of the outer surface, and observable by the user.

A control device configured for use in a load control system to control an electrical load external to the control device may comprise an actuation member having a front surface defining a capacitive touch surface configured to detect a touch actuation along at least a portion of the front surface. The control device includes a main printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a control circuit, a tactile switch, a controllably conductive device, and a drive circuit operatively coupled to a control input of the controllably conductive device for rendering the controllably conductive device conductive or non-conductive to control the amount of power delivered to the electrical load. The control device also includes a capacitive touch PCB that comprises a touch sensitive circuit comprising one or more receiving capacitive touch pads located on the capacitive touch PCB and arranged in a linear array adjacent to the capacitive touch surface.

The invention relates to the field of switches, and particularly provides a switch for a vehicle and a vehicle. The invention aims to solve the problem of an uneven gap between a switch and an interior trim panel of an existing vehicle. To this end, the vehicle according to the invention comprises a surface housing, the surface housing is provided with a groove, the switch is disposed in the groove, the switch comprises a pressing rod assembly, the pressing rod assembly comprises a rocking bar and a connecting piece, the rocking bar is rotatably connected to the connecting piece, and the connecting piece is fixedly connected to the groove. When the pressing rod assembly is installed, because no member for positioning the pressing rod assembly is available, the pressing rod assembly can be installed at any position in a transverse direction of the groove. Therefore, when the groove deviates due to the existence of tolerance, the position tolerance of the groove is absorbed by a position change of the pressing rod assembly, which is more conducive to adjusting a gap between the groove and the pressing rod assembly and can ensure uniformity of the gap between the groove and the pressing rod assembly.

A power switch with an independent light-emitting chamber includes a housing, a press-key, a power assembly, at least one light-emitting unit, and a circuit board. The housing is provided therein with a partition wall that divides the interior of the housing into a first receiving space and a second receiving space. The press-key and the power assembly can be disposed in the first receiving space. The press-key can bring the power assembly into a power-off state or a power-on state. The light-emitting unit can be disposed in the second receiving space and thereby turn the second receiving space into an independent light-emitting chamber. The circuit board can be disposed in the housing and electrically connected to the power assembly and the light-emitting unit. The power switch is enhanced in safety as the partition wall keeps the light-emitting unit and the power assembly from each other and hence from short-circuiting.

A non-powered passive optomechanical position switch and an operational control system for controlling an apparatus using an optical fiber waveguide, the switch including an orientable structure supporting a plurality of reflective surfaces at the terminus of the optical fiber waveguide, wherein at least some of the reflective surfaces each uniquely manipulates one or more properties of light received from the optical fiber waveguide in reflecting light back through the optical fiber waveguide to an optocontrolling transceiver. Orienting the orientable structure relative to the terminus of the optical fiber determines which of the plurality of reflective surfaces is positioned at the terminus of the optical fiber waveguide, and thereby determines what properties of light are manipulated and reflected back to the optocontrolling transceiver, through the optical fiber waveguide thereby controlling an apparatus.

Various examples of park brake interface modules which are utilized as human machine interfaces (HMI) in vehicles are provided. In one example, a park brake interface module for a vehicle includes a park brake switch device to actuate the park brake. The park brake switch device is capable of actuating the vehicle park brake in a brake apply mode upon receipt of a pinch signal. In another example, the park brake interface module includes a park brake switch device which is capable of actuating the vehicle park brake in a brake release mode upon receipt of a reach signal. In a further example, the park brake interface module includes recessed fixed parking brake actuation switches. In operation, the electronic interface module and park brake switch devices allow the operator to apply or release the vehicle park brakes according to memorable mnemonics, for example, “pinch to park” and “reach to release.”

An aluminum lighted nock with an external switch preferably includes a nock body, a light unit, a compression spring and a power source. The nock body preferably includes a string portion and a shank portion extending from one end of the string portion. A string receiver is formed in the other end of the string portion. A battery bore is formed through the shank portion and into the string portion. A light hole is formed through a bottom of the battery bore. The light unit preferably includes a top hat LED, a LED housing and a slide pin, which is slid into the battery bore. The pin battery is pressed into the battery bore. The shank portion is inserted into a nock end of an arrow. The top hat LED is pushed back during a launch of the arrow and creates an electrical connection with the power source.
