Abstract:
1. An emergency device actuator absence notification system comprising: a rigid planar member; a transducer housing coupled to said planar member; a transducer located within said transducer housing and coupled to said planar member, said transducer having a pair of electrical contact points located on said transducer; a lever having a first end coupled to said transducer within said transducer housing and passing through a lever opening in said transducer housing causing said lever to have a second end external to said transducer housing, said lever having electrically conductive and flexible properties causing said lever to rest in a first position when said lever has no external forces acting upon it, and being so positioned as to become in contact with both of said electrical contact points when said lever is depressed and caused to be in a second position, thereby causing the electrical contact points to become in electrical contact with one another; wherein said transducer being capable of emitting a plurality of signals depending upon a state of said transducer, said state of said transducer being dependent upon one of the existence and nonexistence of electrical contact between said electrical contact points, which is in turn dependent upon said lever being in one of said first position and said second position; electrical leads having first ends coupled to said transducer and capable of transmitting said plurality of signals from said transducer; and an electrical lead opening formed in said transducer housing, said electrical leads passing through said electrical lead opening.
