Abstract:
1. An electromechanical pulse generator, comprising: a base and a first part, the first part being rotatably mounted relative to the base around an axis of rotation, the first part comprises a surface with a predetermined number of projections extending toward the base, each projection having a top, and wherein valleys existing between neighboring projections, the base comprises an electrical conductor having a displaceable resilient contact portion and two electrical contacts having a predetermined distance there between, the displaceable resilient contact portion being biased toward the surface of the first part, the electrical contacts extending, along the axis of rotation, at least from a first position occupied by the resilient contact portion when engaging a valley between two neighboring projections and to a second position occupied by the resilient contact portion when engaging a top of a projection, and wherein the base comprises a protrusion arranged to contact the displaceable resilient contact portion to prevent rebound thereof.
