The first and second recessed inner sides and the intermediate through hole cooperatively define a chamber. Each metal plate includes an inner peripheral edge having an edge portion projecting into the chamber. A conductive ball is disposed movably in the chamber, and has a diameter larger than a distance between the edge portions of the metal plates so that the conductive ball can bridge the edge portions of the metal plates to place the rolling-ball switch in an ON state.

摘要： A tilt switch includes a base and a cover body. The base includes an upright support having a lower groove, and first and second lower passage holes communicated with the lower groove. An emitter is mounted on the base to emit a light signal. A receiver is disposed opposite to the emitter to receive the light signal. The cover body includes first and second press pieces respectively having first and second upper passage holes that complement with the respective first and second lower passage holes to define first and second light passages, respectively, and an upper groove cooperating with the lower groove to define a chamber. The light signal propagates along a light path passing through the chamber from the first to the second light passage. A ball member is rollable within the chamber to block or unblock the light path.

摘要： A jerk-initiated switch includes an insulating housing with an inner bottom wall surface, a plurality of electric contact terminals having contact protrusions disposed in the housing to form a polygon, and an electrically conductive ball rollable on the inner bottom wall surface and having a spherical radius of a dimension that is larger than a length from a polygonal center to a polygonal side, and that is smaller than a diagonal section from the polygonal center to a vertex of the polygon. The topography of a central area of the inner bottom wall surface is configured such that the ball is displaced from an upright position where it rests on the central area to a jerked position where it is out of the central area so as to establish different switching states.

摘要： A vibration switch includes a housing with an accommodation chamber for receiving securely two electric contact bodies therein. The electric contact bodies are spaced apart from each other, and respectively have rolling surfaces, each of which defines a farthermost area and a tangential area. Two electrically conductive rollable bodies are respectively rollable on the rolling surfaces such that the rollable bodies respectively abut against the tangential areas by virtue of gravity to establish electric contact between the electric contact bodies. Once the housing is caused to quiver, the rollable bodies will lurch towards one of the farthermost areas so that one of the rollable bodies is out of contact with one of the rolling surfaces, thereby breaking the electric contact between the electric contact bodies.

摘要： A vibration switch includes an electric contact body which is movably disposed in an accommodation chamber of a housing in an upright direction. A biasing member holds and restrains the contact body from moving towards a lower inner wall surface of the housing. A switching unit includes a contact member extending into the chamber, and is placed in one of switch-on and switch-off states in response to movement of the contact body relative to the contact member as a result of an inertial force of the contact body when the housing is jerked to move upwards.

摘要： A tilt switch includes an insulating housing with an inner peripheral wall surface which confines an accommodation chamber for rollably receiving an electrically conductive ball. First and second electric contact terminals have upper end portions inserted into the chamber and having contact surfaces to contact the ball when the housing is in an upright position so as to make an electrical connection therebetween. The inner peripheral wall surface includes a shoulder segment for facilitating the rolling movement of the ball to break the electrical connection when the housing is tilted to a predetermined angle.
