A backstop for a street hockey goal comprising left and right stanchions with a net fastened therebetween with a strut fastenable to a hockey goal for supporting the net in a deployed position. Once deployed the net exceeds the height of the hockey goal and extends beyond said goal to the left and right. The base of each stanchion matingly engage each other when in the folded position with the net having a partial slit vertically extending with fasteners that attach to their respective stanchions when in the folded position.

The present invention is a tilt switch that opens or closes an electrical circuit in accordance with the angle of inclination of the switch. The present invention switch includes a housing that defines a hollow cavity. A first sphere, having a highly conductive circumferential surface, is positioned within the hollow cavity. As the switch is inclined, the first sphere rolls to one end of the housing where the sphere contacts an electrical connector. The first sphere electrically interconnects the electrical connector to the housing on which the sphere rests, thereby completing an electrical connection between the electrical connector and the conductive material of the housing. At least one second sphere is also positioned within the housing. The second sphere is sized in relation to the hollow cavity so that the first sphere cannot pass by the second sphere within the cavity. As the switch is inclined, the first sphere rolls against the electrical connector, closing the switch.

A micro-miniature mercury tilt-type inertia switch which may be utilized in a light-emitting, solid state, digital-display watch to activate a digital read-out circuit by a "flick-of-the-wrist" motion. The switch is normally in a closed position, i. e. , a globule of mercury contacts both electrodes, and a tilt force of approximately 1. 4 G's is required to open the circuit. A movement of the switch back to 2. degree. or less below horizontal will reclose the circuit.

A tilt switch having at least one conductive weight held within an inert atmosphere within a housing. The weight being free moving within the housing, moving from one end of the housing to the other as the angle of inclination of the housing is changed. At one end of the housing are positioned the contact points of at least two terminals. As the weight abuts against the terminals, electricity is conducted through the weight from one terminal to the other; thus completing a circuit. The terminals may be shaped, or the number of conductive weights increased, to increase the area of contact between the weights and the terminals. The increased surface area results in a more reliable tilt switch that has increased performance characteristics and a higher power capacity.

A telephone line tester comprises a bipolar LED which has coupled thereto two wires which terminate in a modular plug of the type used on a telephone subset. In this manner the plug is inserted into a telephone jack or receptacle, and if the telephone line is operating properly, one of the diodes will illuminate depending upon the polarity of the telephone lines. The illumination of the diode presents a visual indication to the consumer that the telephone line is operating correctly. In this manner the consumer may save a service call by locating the difficulty in telephone service with the telephone subset on the line.

There is disclosed a mercury switch for use in thermostat applications. The switch has a hollow housing fabricated from glass and is positioned in the horizontal plane when in an operating orientation. The switch has a first common electrode within said housing and extending parallel to the horizontal plane with a terminal end extending from the housing. Positioned above the first electrode is a second shorter electrode with a third longer electrode positioned above said second electrode said third electrode being longer than said second but shorter than said first. Positioned above the third electrode is a longer fourth electrode. Essentially, major portions of the electrodes within the housing are parallel to each other. A charge of mercury is in the housing and operates to make contact between the electrodes in four operating modes indicative of thermostat operation for control of a heat pump, furnace and air conditioner. In a first mode the first electrode is in contact with the second to activate a furnace or air conditioner.
