A control panel for fitness equipment has a board, a screen, a rotary knob switch and a wire. The board has an inner surface and an outer surface. The screen is securely mounted on the outer surface of the board. The rotary knob switch is rotatably mounted through the board beside the screen and has a held end and a wire end opposite to the held end. The wire has an end that is securely mounted at the wire end of the rotary knob switch. Accordingly, the rotary knob switch can be directly and conveniently turned at the board.

An exemplary electronic device includes a shell, a circuit board located in an inner side of the shell, a toggle switch positioned on the circuit board, and a slide button. The toggle switch includes a pin. The shell defines a through hole therein. The slide button includes an operating portion located at an outer side of the shell, a curved body extending obliquely from a side of the operating portion. The body of the slide button extends through the through hole of the shell. A distal end of the body of the slide button engages with the pin of the toggle switch. The pin of the toggle switch can be caused to move by moving the slide button.

Controls, devices, systems, and methods for remotely reversing ceiling fan rotation directions based on seasonal appearing indicia controls, and remotely selecting ceiling fan turn off times when the user falls asleep. Cooler weather indicia for a remote control reverse switch can include snowflake symbol and/or the types of seasonal weather indicators such as for winter time use. Warmer weather indicia for a remote control reverse switch can include a sun symbol and/or other types of seasonal weather conditions, such as for summer time. Sleep timer controls, such as buttons for 2 hours, 4 hours and 8 hours, allows the user to preset when the fan is to be turned off after the user decides to go to sleep.

A rocker switch includes a housing. An actuating part is pivotably mounted at the housing and includes at least two opposing actuating surfaces with two opposing actuating directions associated thereto. At least one actuating surface includes a backlit lighting surface. At least one lighting device is attached to the housing for backlighting the lighting surface. The rocker switch includes least one electromechanical pushbutton and at least one multiple-part telescoping light duct. At least one plunger is displaceably supported at the housing. The at least one plunger acts through the actuator part on the electromechanical pushbutton and the at least one light duct so as to define a light channel between the at least one lighting device and the lighting surface. The at least one light duct comprises a tubular lower light duct section corresponding to the electromechanical pushbutton and a tubular upper light duct section corresponding to the lighting surface.

A switch assembly is provided that in one aspect provides a switch knob that can move in up to five directions by using a plunger element that moves with respect to an actuation plate such that tilting the knob in any of four directions uses the plate to activate underlying domes whereas pressing the knob towards the assembly provides a fifth function by moving the plunger element with respect to the plate and thus activating a central dome beneath the plunger element. In another aspect, the switch assembly enables a larger area of illumination on an illuminated film by interposing a light pipe between an actuation dome and the film, the light pipe also serving as a plunger element to enable touch actuation by pressing the film, moving the plunger towards the dome and activating the dome.

Electrical switch assembly comprising a 5-way toggle mechanism and illuminated flexible layer

An assembly for installation of a switch in the dashboard of a vehicle without the use of any tools. The assembly comprises a housing, a resilient member such as a washer spring, and a bezel. The switch is secured to the housing and subsequently inserted into the bezel which is integrated with the dashboard. The installation of the switch, which is secured to the housing is then completed through the interaction of a profiled wall on the bezel and a flange on the housing with the washer spring interposed between.
