Bei einer Tastschaltvorrichtung ist eine Schaltkammer von einer flexiblen Schaltfolie überwölbt. Um eine klimabe­ dingte Längenzunahme der Schaltfolie nicht zu einer Fehl­ schaltung führen zu lassen, weist diese bei der Schaltkam­ mer wenigstens eine punkt- oder linienförmige Verformung auf. Die Verformung ist ein bleibender Knick der Schaltfolie, der zu deren Hochwölbung führt. In the case of a key switch device, there is a switching chamber arched by a flexible switching film. To a climabe induced increase in length of the switching film does not result in a fault to let the circuit lead, this shows at the Schaltkam mer at least a point or line-shaped deformation on. The deformation is a permanent kink in the switching foil, which leads to their arching.

Data for user inputs, such as gestures, may include data from user inputs sensed in both the active display area and outside of the active display area. The user inputs can begin and/or end outside of the active display area.

Electric switch for use in chip card, has opposite contact surfaces separated in opened state of switch by spaces filled with insulating fluid, where switch is designed such that contact of surfaces in closed state represents stable state

The switch (100) has two opposite contact surfaces (102, 104) separated in an opened state of the switch by spaces (108) filled with an insulating fluid (106) i.e. insulating liquid. A fluid reservoir (110) is fluidically connected with the spaces for delivering the insulating fluid in case of displacement of the fluid reservoir by mechanical pressure on the fluid reservoir at the spaces such that the switch is changed from a closed state into the opened state. The switch is designed such that a contact of the contact surfaces in the closed state represents an energetically stable state. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing an electrical switch.

Low-voltage multipolar circuit breaker

A low-voltage multipolar circuit breaker includes a moulded housing including a main body that is divided into interior compartments, each associated with one pole of the circuit breaker, and a cover that is mounted on the main body covering a main face of the body. The circuit breaker includes, for each pole, electrical contacts that can be separated by a device of a switching mechanism and an arc-extinguishing chamber. For at least two of the poles, the main face includes an additional aperture, each placed directly above the spark guard of the corresponding pole and placing the arc-extinguishing chamber of this pole in communication with the interior volume delimited by the cover and the main face, and the cover is attached to the main body while leaving a peripheral opening between the cover and the main body, placing the interior volume in communication with the exterior of the housing.

Push switch

A push switch contains a circuit substrate, two fixed contacts disposed on the circuit substrate, a dome-shaped spring which is disposed above the two fixed contacts and can be displaced between a first position in which the two fixed contacts are in a non-conductive state and a second position in which the two fixed contacts are in a conductive state and a conductive elastic member disposed on a surface of the dome-shaped spring facing the circuit substrate and having a surface facing the two fixed contacts. At least the surface of the conductive elastic member facing the two fixed contacts has conductivity. When the dome-shaped spring is displaced to the second position, the two fixed contacts are in the conductive state through the conductive elastic member.
