Multi-point tilt switch

摘要

A multi-point tilt switch includes an insulator housing surrounding a chamber, a first conductive component mounted to the housing and having a contact portion bordering the chamber, a plurality of second conductive components each having a contact portion in the chamber, and a conductor accommodated in the chamber. Each of the first and second conductive components has a connection portion exposed from the housing. The conductor is movable in the chamber to contact or not to contact the contact portions of at least two of the first and second conductive components, so as to make or break electrical connection therebetween.

1. A multi-point tilt switch comprising:
an insulator housing having an annular housing inner surface surrounding a chamber; at least one first conductive component mounted to said housing, and having a contact portion bordering said chamber, and a connection portion exposed from said housing; a plurality of second conductive components spaced apart from said first conductive component, each of said second conductive components having a contact portion disposed in said chamber, and a connection portion exposed from said housing; and a conductor accommodated in said chamber, and movable in said chamber between a conducting position at which said conductor contacts said contact portions of at least two of said first and second conductive components, and a non-conducting position at which said conductor does not contact said contact portions of any two of said first and second conductive components; wherein said housing has a surrounding wall that has said annular housing inner surface and that surrounds an axis, said contact portion of said first conductive component being transverse to the axis, said contact portions of said second conductive components being disposed to surround the axis.
