An electro-mechanical pulse generator

摘要

An electromechanical pulse generator and a method of generating electrical pulses are disclosed. The electromechanical pulse generator (10) comprises very few parts and includes an effective mechanism to prevent contact rebound. An upper, user actuable and rotatable part (121) has a surface with a plurality of projections (123). A lower part (14) has an electrical conductor (15) with a displaceable resilient contact portion (16) biased against the projections and two electrical contacts positioned, in the plane of rotation, on either side of the displaceable contact portion.
