PULL TAB ASSEMBLIES AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

Pull tab assemblies and related components and methods are disclosed herein. Some pull tab assemblies are configured to selectively interrupt and reestablish connections between a battery and a battery contact of an electronic circuit. Some pull tab assemblies include perforated pull tabs and/or pull tabs in which a proximal portion of the pull tab is configured to be cut or removed. Some pull tabs are designed to remain within a slot of the housing to impede fluid entry into the housing. Some methods disclosed herein involve programming memory that is disposed within a housing of a pull tab assembly or device.

主权项

1. A pull tab assembly for selectively interrupting an electrical connection with a battery, the assembly comprising:
a battery; a first battery contact; and a pull tab that is configured to selectively interrupt an electrical connection between the battery and the first battery contact; wherein the assembly is configured to transition from a first state to a second state and subsequently from the second state to the first state as the pull tab is displaced relative to the battery and the battery contact; wherein the battery is in electrical contact with the first battery contact when the assembly is in the first state, and the battery is not in electrical contact with the first battery contact when the assembly is in the second state.
