Description
~3~
This specification has been divided from a patent application by Edward John Olszewski et al with Serial No. 338,271 and filed on 23 October, 1979.
The present invention relates to manual switch apparatus in the field of telephony and more particularly to apparatus for manually effecting rapid enabling of groups of circuits in a newly installed switching facility.
During the operation of transferring existing telephone lines to new terminations in a newly installed switching facility, telephone subscribers are without telephone service. Hence this cutover operation is typically perfonmed with as much haste as possible and often at a time when telephone traffic is minimal.
In telephone switching facilities using wire spring relay equipment extra cutover contacts are not normally provided. The wire spring relay contacts associa~ed with line appearances are blocked, prior to the cutover operation, by the insertion of individual contact blocking members.
At a prearranged moment, the individual contact blocking members are manually removed one by one from the relays as rapidly as possible ~y the operating staff to effect cutover to the new switching facility~ More recently, however, relays in switching facilities of newer design tend to be of the miniature or sealed miniature types. These miniature relays cannot be readily blocked in preparation for the cutover operation.
One ~olution to the problem of cutovers has been s.uggested in United States Patent No. 4,122,313 granted October 24, 1978 to Paul V.
DeLuca, wherein printed wiring interconnect networks are alternately connected in one of two positions. The cutover operation is effected by individually transferring the interconnect networks from the one position to the other position. In this case the cutover hardware is provided at .., ~
minimal expense. However in larger switching facilities this cutover arrangement is too time-consuming to be practical.
The present invention provides a cutover apparatus which is manually operable to cut over groups of line appearances in an equipment frame. In accordance with the present invention, manual switch apparatus activates a plurality of circuit boards lodged in a plurality of board locations in an equipment frame. An elongated control member spans the plurality of board positions and is removeably retained adjacent the board locations. One switch is mounted on each of the circuit boards. Each switch is mechanically held in a first state by the presence of the control member and thereby inhibits the functioning of the circuit board.
The control member is removed manually to activate the plurality of circuit boards by allowing the switches to move to a second state.
In accordance with the invention a switch is actuated by insertion of a control member into the switch or removal o~ the control member from the switch. The switch comprises a base having a groove formed in one side thereof for receiving the control member. First and second cantilever spring switch members are arranged in complementary orientation such that respective portions of the switch members extend beyond the terminals convergently toward the groove and curve over the groove to extend divergently away from the groove toward terminating edges. The respective portions o~the switch members which are over the groove, are laterally spaced one from the other to prevent contact one with the other. The switch members are displaced by contact with the control member when it is inserted into the groove.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
~ ~ ~ 3 ~ ~ 9 Figure 1 is a plan view of a switch, according to the preferred embodlment of this invention, on a section of the circuit board;
Figure 2 i5 a side elevation view of the switch in figure 1;
Figure 3 is a simplified pictorial view of a sutover apparatus, according to the preferred embodiment of this invention and serving a plurality of circuit boards in an equipment frame, u~ing the switch as shown in figures 1 arld 2;
Figure 4 is a plan view of one of the circuit boards in figure 3;
Figure 5 is a top view of the circuit bnard in figure 4; and Figure 6 is a tnp view of the circuit board similar to figure 5 and showing another embodiment.
Referring to figure 1, a manual switch 100 resides on a circuit board 1 having a pair of locating holes 2 formed therein. A
connector edge 3 of the circuit board 1 includes a notch 4 for receiving an elongated control member 37, only one end of which is visible in Figure 1. Referring also to figure 2, the switch 100 includes a base 10 which is fonned from an electrically insulating material3 for example a moldable thermoplastic or a castabl~ resin material. Legs 11 project from 20 the bottom of the base 10 and carry the base spaced from the surface of the circait board 1~ Guide pins 12 project from the base 10 and are retained in the pair of locating holes 2. The top of the base 10 has a cavity 13 formed therein which includes a pair of legs 14 and 15 disposed toward either side and extending tuward one end of the base. Another end 17 of the base 10 is bisected by a groove 18 defined by a wall 19 extending from the bottom to the top of the base 10 and to the surface of the caYity 13.
A pair of switch members are provided by electrically conductive cantilever springs 20 and ~1 having tenminal ends 22 and ~3 lodged in the ends of the legs 14 and 15 respectively. Terminal legs 30 and 31 depend from the ends 22 and 23 respectively, through the bottom of the base 10. In figure 2, the terminal leg 31 is hidden by the terminal leg 30. The base 10 carries a pair of terminal posts 32 and 33 imbedded therein. In figure 2 the terminal post 33 is hid~en behind the terminal post 32. The cantilever springs 20 - and 21 are biased so that when at rest, electrical contact is maintained between the springs 20 and 21 and the terminal posts 32 and 33 respectively, providing a pair of BREAK contacts. The termina~ legs 30 and 31 and the terminal posts 32 and 33 extend beyond the base a convenient distance for solderin9 to conductors, not shown, on the circuit board 10. The cantilever springs 20 and 21 extend beyond the terminal posts 32 and 33 through divergently tapered sections 24 and 25 respectively which are convergently angled toward the groove 18. Portions of reduced cross-section 26 and 27 extend over the groove 18 and curve outwardly toward terminating edges 28 and 29 respectively. It will be noted in reference to figure 2 that the extended psrtions 26 and 27 are laterally offset with respect to each other to prevent electrical contact therebetween. The switch is operated by insertiny and removing the insulating control member 37 by way of the groove 18, between the extended portions 26 and 27. Inserting member 37 2D into groove 18 causes the cantileYer spring members 20 and 21 to be displaced and thereby causes the electrical contacts between the leg 30 and the post 32 and between the leg 31 and the post 33 to be broken. The switch is restored to its rest state simply by removal of the control member 37.
The switch is described as including a base 10 which carries the various components of the switch. However, it is envisaged in an alternate embodiment (not the preferred embodiment) that the cantilever springs 20 and 21, the terminal legs 30 and 31 and the terminal posts 32 and 33 be mounted directly on the circuit board surface. In this case the .
3 ~
terminal legs 30 and 31 are preferably rectangular in cross-section.
Alternately, additional guide pins are positioned in the circuit board intermediate the terminal legs 30 and 31 and the terMinal posts 32 and 33 to effect the required cantilever spring action.
In figure 3, various mechanical frame members, connectors, wiring and electronic components are omitted for the sake of clarity in the illustration of this embodiment of the invention. A plurality of circuit boards 1 in the equipment frame are lodged against a back plane 6, at predetermined circuit board locations. A frame member 34 i5 fastened to one end of the back plane 6. Each of the circuit boards 1 carries circuitry, not shown, appropriate for the termination of signal transmission lines carried on the back plane 6. Switches 100 each correspond to the switch 100 in figures 1 and 2 and provide an enabling function for the circuit boards. A plastic strip in an elongated form serves as the control member 37. The control member 37 spans the circuit board locations and includes an end portion 38 which protrudes through the frame member 34 via an openin~ 40. During installation of the equipment frame in a new switching facility, the control member 37 is put into position before any of the circuit boards 1 are inserted into the frame. With the insertion of each circuit board, the contacts in the switch 100 are opened to inhibit the termination of the signal transmission lines on the back plane 6. The signal transmission lines typically provide for the termination of respective subscriber loops in a telephone switching office, however these lines are not restricted solely to this function as they may be used, for example, in trunk line functions or in control line functions. At the moment, when a new installation of the equipment in figure 3 is to be cut over, the control member 37 is manually grasped at the end 38 and rapidly pulled from the equipment frame. It should be noted that the initial placement ., .

~ ~ ~ 3 ~
of the control member is effected in the absence of the circuit boards 1.
- An opening 39 in the control member 37, adjacent the end portion 38, provides for the linking of a plurality of control members 37 in a group of vertically stacked equipment frames, not shown. By this means the circuit boards in the group of equipment frames are activated in one motion.
Referring to figures 4 and 5, the circuit board 1 is connected to the backplane 6 by well known means which for example includes a shroud ~ having side walls~7 terminated at slotted end walls 8. The shroud 5 is fastened to the back plane 6 by any conYenient means. The side and end walls 7 and 8 define a cavity in the shroud 5 for receiving a connector 9 mounted on the circuit board 1. Connection between the connector 9 and the back plane 6 is effected by conductive pins, not shown, extending from the back plane and into the defined cavity in the shroud 5.
Upon insertion of the circuit board 1 into a circuit board location on the back plane 6, the side and end walls 7 and 8 guide the connector 9 into alignment with the pins which are received by corresponding contacts in the connector 9 in a well known manner.
In provision for the cutover feature, the shroud 5 includes extension walls 3~. The extension walls 3~ are a continuation of the side walls 7 beyond the end wall 8 at one end of the shroud 5. The extension walls 35 are extended to define a cavity for receiving the switch 100 on the circuit board 1. Slots 36 formed in the extension walls are aligned to receive the control member 37 and provide support for its placement. The switch 100 i5 positioned and mounted on the circuit board 1 such that the alignment of the connector 9, effected by the end and side walls ~ and 7, causes the groove 18, shown in figure 1, to be aligned with the slots 36. In the presence of the control member 37 the insertion of the circuit board causes the switch members 20 and 21 to be moved apart thus . ~ -~ ~ ~ 3 ~
putting switch 100 in the open state and disabling the circuit board 1.
The apparatus has been described as providing a group enabling function, using BREAK contacts provided in double pole single throw switches for the cutover of a telephone switching facility. By atternate arrangements of the s~litch contacts, MAKE or TRANSFER contacts can also be employed.
In reference to figure 6 the alternate embodiment includes an opening 42 in the back plane 6 adjacent a circuit board location. This opening 42 corresponds to a similar opening 43 into the switch cavity in the corresponding shroud ~. The corresponding switch 100 is individually actuated in the absence of the control member 37 by insertion of a stick 45 through the openings 42 and 43, into the groove 18~ and between the portions 26 and 27. The switch members 20 and 21 are thereby displaced by the stick 4~ to cause the circuit boar~ to be inhibited, or if so arranged : to be operable in standby or test modes.
