US Patent 7508288 Magnetic switch arrangement

Magnetic switch arrangement including a first magnetic system (24), a second magnetic system (25) and a magnetic switching element (18). The first magnetic system (24) is arranged for biasing the magnetic switching element (18) and the second magnetic system (25) is arranged to interact with the biasing magnetic field from the first magnetic system at the magnetic switching element so that the magnetic switching element is in a predefined state. The first magnetic system (24) also includes a magnetic field assembler (19) arranged for creating a longitudinal magnetic field inside the assembler. An advantage of the invention being to provide a magnetic switch arrangement which compensates for the angular sensitivity of the switching element.
