Abstract

An electric switch device comprises an actuator (10L, 10R) movable between first and second positions, an electrical generator (preferably a rotary generator such as an alternator), a drive mechanism which uses energy derived from movement of the actuator to drive the generator and thereby generate electrical power, and electrical circuitry coupled to the generator to produce an electrical output.
