Problems solved by technology

Although this approach eliminates the traditional switch as a separate component, the actuation mechanism does not reduce the weight, size or complexity of the device
In addition, such systems are not suitable for reliably generating the discrete momentary contact pulses required for mode control of integrated circuits
[0004] No prior art approach combines miniaturization with access to batteries and switches

Embodiment Construction

[0013] Fig. 1 shows a switch module 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows the same module 100 with the battery 130 removed. FIG. 3 shows an exploded view of the switch module 100 showing additional details of the various components. The switch module 100 includes a printed circuit board 150 , a momentary contact switch 120 , a battery 130 , and a battery harness 140 . In this particular example, the module 100 is integrated with a light emitting diode (LED) 110 and is used to control the lighting of the LED.

[0014] Printed circuit board 150 is made of conventional printed circuit board material and includes circuit traces (eg, 122 , 162 and 151 , see FIG. 3 ) and integrated circuit chip 158 . Preferably, it is sized and shaped to match the battery 130 (disc-shaped in this example). The circuit board 150 includes a notch 157, the function of which is described below.

[0015] Momentary contact switch 120 includes a mechanical switc...

Abstract

A miniature switch module includes a battery harness attached to a circuit board. A diaphragm or pushbutton type switch and a battery are sandwiched between the retainer and circuit board.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to electrical switches, and more particularly to electrical switches associated with battery-operated devices. Background technique [0002] As electronic circuits become smaller in size, many inventors have worked to develop or improve systems to provide smaller or more compact battery power supplies and switches for hand-held electrical devices. Space is at a premium in these devices, and since both the switch and the replaceable battery need to be accessible to the user, these create physical constraints in reducing the size of the device. One solution to the compactness problem is to use miniature diaphragm momentary contact switches instead of bulky slide, rotary, push button or toggle switches. This approach reduces the physical size of the switch and provides additional applications by allowing multiple actuations of a single switch to control multiple modes of operation of the device. However, the user ...
