Touch Operated Control System For Electrical Devices

US Patent:
6566819, May 20, 2003
Filed:
Apr 2, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/825532
Inventors:
Gregory A. Wolff - West Redding CT 06896
International Classification:
H05B 3702
US Classification:
315149, 315 56, 315 58, 315360, 323904, 307116, 307117
Abstract:
A touch operated control system is provided that advantageously provides enhanced functionality, including a programmable timer that sets a light coupled to the dimmer to OFF after a predetermined period of time. The control system generally includes a conductive housing provided with a power receptacle, a power switch, a fuse, and a printed circuit board mounted within the housing. The printed circuit board includes switching circuitry by means of a programmed integrated circuit operationally connected to the housing, and a timer is operationally connected to the switching circuitry. By touching the housing, the switching circuitry is activated to automatically connect or remove power to or from the power receptacle. The sequence and duration of the touch activation function varies the system response to provide enhanced control, functionality and flexibility. The disclosed control systems continuously monitor the status of the connected electrical device, providing a visual indication of the devices operative condition.
