    Abstract: An operating device comprises a base, a first electric switch, a second electric switch, a third electric switch, a first operating structure, and a second operating structure. The first operating structure is movably arranged with respect to the base to activate the first electric switch as the first operating structure moves from a first rest position to a first intermediate position and to activate the third electric switch as the first operating structure moves from the first intermediate position to a first operating position. The second operating structure is movably arranged with respect to the base to activate the second electric switch as the second operating structure moves from a second rest position to a second intermediate position and to activate the third electric switch as the second operating structure moves from the second intermediate position to a second operating position.

    Abstract: The operating unit for a vehicle includes an operating element having an operating surface movable in an actuating direction from a rest position into a function-triggering position and from the function-triggering position back to the rest position by means of depressing. A parallel guiding device ensures that the operating surface moves in parallel. The parallel guiding device is provided with at least one pair of engaging first and second levers which are mounted in an articulated manner with play on support elements being in turn connected to the operating element. The support elements are axially guided on a carrier element. The levers are pivotably mounted on bearing blocks, substantially free of play, so that the operating element behaves substantially free of play in directions transverse to the depressing movement. The parallel guiding device is designed in compliance with tolerances that are comparatively easy to realize in terms of manufacture.

    Abstract: A switch according to one or more embodiments may include a movable unit movable in response to an operation. A drive unit is drivable in response to movement of the movable unit. The switch may include an operation-linked unit movable in response to the movement of the movable unit and an operation follower unit spaced from the operation-linked unit to move in response to movement of the operation-linked unit with a magnetic force between the operation follower unit and the operation-linked unit. At least one of the operation-linked unit or the operation follower unit is magnetic. The drive unit is drivable in response to movement of the operation follower unit. The operation follower unit accommodated in a chamber is spaced from the operation-linked unit.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a switch assembly and a power tool. The switch assembly includes a housing which extends along the longitudinal axis, a main control switch which is housed within the housing, a locking switch which is slidably connected with the housing and can move between a locking position and a releasing position, and a start switch which is rotably connected with the housing by a pivot. The locking switch is in contact with the start switch when the locking switch is in the locking position, and the start switch is in a locked state. The locking switch is disengaged from the start switch when the locking switch is in the releasing position, and the start switch is in a released state.

    Abstract: A fusible disconnect switch device is provided. The disconnect switch a switch actuator, a handle bias element, and a slider assembly. The switch actuator is selectively positioned between an opened position and a closed position. The handle bias element includes a first end acting on the switch actuator and a second end coupled to the switch housing. The slider assembly is linked to the switch actuator. The slider assembly includes a first slider and a second slider each slidably movable with respect to the switch housing along a linear axis. The first slider is independently movable relative to the second slider. The handle bias element and the slider assembly are responsive to the position of the switch actuator to effect the switch closing operation and a switch opening operation.

    Abstract: A switch assembly including an actuator assembly operable to magnetically latch a switch in a closed position, where the actuator assembly includes a cup member coupled to the drive rod opposite to the switch and an opening spring positioned within the cup member and being held in compression when the switch is latched closed, and where the cup member includes a central opening. The switch assembly further includes a scissor link having a first leg and a second leg pivotally attached at a pivot point, where one end of the first and second legs extend into the central opening and are rigidly attached to the cup member and an opposite end of the first and second legs extend through the cover, and where pulling the link away from the actuator assembly breaks the magnetic latch and opens the switch.

    Abstract: An input device includes: a casing that includes a tubular portion in which an end portion of a column post is fitted, and to which a turn lever unit that a driver operates is attached, the column post rotatably supporting a steering shaft; and a biasing member disposed between a brim portion and the column post in a central axis direction of the tubular portion, the brim portion being provided on an inside surface of the tubular portion. The tubular portion includes an engaging portion that engages, in the central axis direction, with an engaged portion of the column post, and in a state in which the engaging portion is engaging with the engaged portion, the biasing member biases the brim portion in a direction in which the brim portion moves away from the column post, the direction being in the central axis direction.

    Abstract: An actuating mechanism for an electrical switching device includes a frame and a driving member. The driving member is rotatably arranged in the frame around an axis and is movable between a first driver position and a second driver position. The driving member is mechanically linkable to the electrical switching device by a first linking member. The movable contacts of the electrical switching device are in a first position in the first driver position of the driving member and are in a second position in the second driver position of the driving member. The actuating mechanism further includes an actuating member. The actuating member is rotatably arranged in the frame around an axis and is movable between a first actuator position and a second actuator position by hand or based on using a motor. The actuating mechanism further includes a load spring.
