Integrated volume control and switch assembly
ActiveUS7012200B2Simple designCost efficientContact operating partsResisitors with sliding contactRotational axisMiniaturization
An integral volume control and switch assembly comprising a resilient conductive member serving for switching between a first and second switch state and a resilient tactile member serving for providing a user with a tactile feedback upon change of switch state. The resilient tactile member and the resilient conductive member are formed by separate members. Hereby the assembly can be further miniaturised without the resilient tactile member and the resilient conductive member being too small to handle in a manufacturing process. In addition, it is possible to adjust angular position of the rotatable member where switch function and tactile feedback occurs. Preferably the resilient tactile member and the resilient conductive member are spatially separated along a rotational axis of the rotatable member. The assembly according to the invention is suitable for hearing aids.

A rocker lever assembly includes a housing, an operation device, a switch device, a restoring device, and two sensing variable resistors. The operation device includes a first pivot seat, a second pivot seat, and a control lever. The switch device includes a base, a contact terminal, a contact plate, and a cover plate. The control lever is depressed to cause the under surface of the second pivot seat to depress the cover plate. Thus, the switch device is hidden in the housing, thereby reducing the volume of the rocker lever assembly. In addition, the contact slide is moved on the resistance plate of the casing by guidance of the drive member, thereby greatly enhancing the sensitivity of each of the two sensing variable resistors.

Compact potentiometer
InactiveUS6040756ACompact designResisitors with sliding contactResistor housing/enclosing/embeddingEngineeringHigh resolution
A sensor is disclosed that fits in a compact package. This compact sensor is ideal for sensing rotary positions and for accommodating one or more potentiometers. The resistor track is parallel and opposed to the collector track, and the wiper is placed between the two tracks to swipe both of them in one embodiment. This allows a short package, because the tracks are opposed to each other rather than being in a line, and a narrow package, because the tracks are not placed side by side. Another advantage of the invention is that putting the resistor track on a larger radius and the collector track on a smaller radius allows the resistor track to be longer. Having a longer resistor track allows a higher resolution, yet a package containing the potentiometer will still be relatively small. Several potentiometers may be placed in the sensor to provide redundancy yet retain compactness.

A captured offset linear guide system for a lighting control device includes a faceplate having an elongated slot, a knob, an offset member, and a linear potentiometer. The offset member allows the linear potentiometer to be offset from the elongated slot of the faceplate to prevent dirt and dust from collecting on the potentiometer. Also, the offset linear guide system prevents insertion of an object into the internal structure of the lighting control device where it might come into contact with energized electrical components. The faceplate includes two guide rails, which hold the offset member close to the faceplate and allow for easy assembly of the faceplate to the lighting control device. Further, the faceplate includes an alignment rail, which prevents the offset member from rotating and further constrains the offset member to move in a straight line within the slot.

Layered electrically conductive material
An electrical resistor has an electrically conductive stack, which includes a plurality of metal first layers and second layers. The stack allows to produce a highly anisotropic resistor, in which the resistance in the direction perpendicular to the layers is much higher than in the plane of the layers. The anisotropy allows the current flowing through the stack to be made homogenous, e.g., to be distributed over the entire stack surface, even if the current is input into the stack in an inhomogenous manner.

A contactless potentiometer is described wherein the conductive and resistive traces of the potentiometer are contained within a sealed channel formed of non-conductive material. The electrical gap between the conductive and resistive traces is bridged by a magnetically reactive contactless tap. A magnetic force is applied to the tap through the surface of the channel holding the conductive and resistive traces. This provides a drawing magnetic force to the tap which pulls the tap against the traces and allows for changing the resistance of the potentiometer by laterally moving the tap along the traces as the tap moves to follow the motion of the external force.
