Abstract:
A power switch device has a housing, a movable shuttle and at least one shape memory alloy actuator. The housing has a cavity and stationary current carrying contacts which extend through the housing to the cavity. The movable shuttle with a bridge contact provided in the cavity. The at least one shape memory alloy actuator is attached to a first end of the shuttle and to a first end of the housing. The at least one shape memory alloy actuator is configured to respond to a first activation signal. The at least one shape memory alloy actuator contracts from an initial shape in response to the first actuation signal to move the shuttle and the bridge contact toward the stationary current carrying contacts to a closed position in which the bridge contact is positioned in electrical engagement with the stationary current carrying contacts.

Claim (Index 18):
A power switch device comprising:\n a housing having a cavity, the housing having stationary current carrying contacts which extend in the housing to the cavity; a movable shuttle having a bridge contact provided in the cavity, the shuttle having a recess; a rail attached to the housing, the rail being received in the recess of the shuttle to allow the shuttle to move relative to the rail; at least one latching shape memory alloy actuator attached to a first end of the shuttle, the at least one latching shape memory alloy actuator configured to respond to a first activation signal; at least one resetting shape memory alloy actuator is attached to a second end of the shuttle, the resetting shape memory alloy actuator configured to respond to a second activation signal; a heat conductive material provided in the cavity of the housing and is in contact with the at least one latching shape memory alloy actuator and the at least one resetting shape memory alloy actuator, the heat conductive material having a higher thermal conductivity than air, the heat conductive material transfers heat from the at least one latching shape memory alloy actuator and the at least one resetting shape memory alloy actuator by conduction, the heat conductive material being malleable wherein the shape of the heat conductive material changes as the at least one latching shape memory alloy actuator responds to the first activation signal and the resetting shape memory alloy actuator responds to the second activation signal; wherein the at least one latching shape memory alloy actuator contracts from an initial shape in response to the first actuation signal to move the shuttle and the bridge contact toward the stationary current carrying contacts to a closed position in which the bridge contact is positioned in electrical engagement with the stationary current carrying contacts; wherein the resetting shape memory alloy actuator contracts from an uncontracted shape in response to the second actuation signal to move the shuttle and the bridge contact away from the stationary current carrying contacts.
