Abstract
The present invention relates to an electronic signaling system utilizing a multi-contact switch that is activated by a mechanical activity which is converted to electrical signaling. The electrical signal activates an electric motor which, in turn, closes, in a predetermined sequence, a series of electronic circuits, which generate a series of electrical signals. The multi-contact switch according to the present invention, may replace a human user who would otherwise generate these electric signal by pressing a series of buttons in a predetermined sequence.
Claims10
An electronic signaling system comprising:
- a multi-contact switch including
- a plurality of pairs of contacts;
- an electric contact for selectively engaging one of said pairs of contacts;
- said pairs of contacts being electrically coupled to an electronic device for generating signals;
- a motor for moving said electric contact to engage said pairs of contacts in a pre-selected sequence;
- and
- means for generating an electrical signal for powering said electrical device.
The system according to 5, wherein said multi-contact switches are coupled to a mechanism mounted on a shaft of said motor, selectively locking said arm of multi-contact switch, thereby permitting the rotational movement of the motor to be transferred to the arm of said multi-contact switch.
A method for electronic signaling, the method comprising:
- providing a multi-contact switch including a plurality of pairs of contacts;
- electrically coupling said pairs of contacts to an electronic device for generating signals;
- mounting an electric contact on said multi-contact switch for selectively engaging one of said pairs of contacts;
- and
- generating an electrical signal for powering an electrical device for moving said electric contact to engage said pair of contacts.
