Title:
ADJUSTABLE THREE-AXIS GRAVITY SWITCH
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003079523
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A gravity-type sensor device comprising a switch (300) which monitors the position of an object over a three dimensional pathway which extends dimensionally about all three orthogonal axes where the object may be tilted, rotated or inverted, as well as translated through space rather than maintained at a fixed location, so as to provide a signal to indicate that the object is moving in the correct three dimensional manner, whereby the switch (300) is disposed within an external housing (301) in a manner that allows the position of the switch (300) to be altered relative to the housing (301), thereby allowing the angle or plane of the pathway to be adjusted when the housing (301) is attached to different objects
