Abstract
The present invention relates to a very simple and robust wireless batteryless device () for harvesting energy. The actuation upon button pressure/release results in a rotation of a first member () around its central axis () leading to a move of an element (), which is loosely fixed at the first member () from a pivot point (), and a rotation around the central axis () of the second member () to which a generator axis of an energy harvester is coupled, the rotation axis of the generator being coincident with the central axis (). Upon full pressure/release, the element () is forced to rotate around the pivot point (), allowing a vertically raised pin () of the second member () to disengage a recessed area () at each end of a slot () of the element () and the second member () to rotate to its rest position.
