Description

2001 North Janice Avenue, Melrose Park,

Illinois, USA Arrangement for actuating a toggle switch

The innovation relates to an arrangement for operating a toggle switch, with a socket having a seat on the inside and a lever mounted in this, dsr having an end that protrudes from the socket and a spherical part that attaches to the seat inside the socket rests in such a way that the center of the spherical part forms the pivot point of the handle lever.

A conventional arrangement of this type for operating a toggle switch has the economic advantage that the usual pivot pin is omitted; on the other hand, however, the required guide for the handle lever is missing.

According to the present innovation, this disadvantage becomes eliminated by the fact that an insert is fixed in the socket which has a slot penetrated by the handle lever has that the handle lever has a cooperating with the slot flat that the handle lever in his Movement in the desired plane leads and a rotation

of the handle lever around its axis prevented, and that one Fastening device is provided which the socket and determines the use in a mounting plate.

Further features, details and advantages of the innovation arising nu "ti r fnl £? N.rten Re ~ chr elbiing a preferred embodiment of the drawing. 'It shows:

Fig. 1 is a side view of an arrangement according to the innovation

with handle lever,

Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken along the line 2-2 of Fig.l, Fig. 3 is a section taken along the line 3-3 in Fig. 2 and Fig k. A of seen below exploded oblique view of the arrangement according to Fig. 1 to 3 ·

The drawn-arrangement for operating a toggle switch comprises a socket 10 which has an external thread for fastening in a plate and is formed inside with a seat to which a spherical part Ik of a handle lever 15 rests so that it is around the center of the spherical Is partially pivotable. An insert 16, which has a slot 18, is arranged in the socket. A handle part, which has flattened areas 20 lying opposite one another, protrudes through this. The flattened areas end just before the seat contact surface of the spherical part 14, so that the handle lever is held captive between the seat 12 and the insert 16. The flattened areas 20 sit sufficiently snugly in the slot 18 so that the handle lever 15 can only be pivoted in the desired plane. The handle lever shown has a central blind hole 22 which contains a pretensioned compression spring 24 which has a loading

actuating pin 26 presses against a (not shown) switching mechanism.

The insert 16 arranged in the bushing is provided with diametrically opposed tabs 28 which prevent rotation of the insert 16 in the bushing 10 through the vent 5 £ p "λθ ± n rter bushing 2.0 VCrSiSilSn and. The tabs 28 extend over the bushing 10 and are received in recesses 32 of a mounting plate 3d which has an opening 36 receiving the end of the bushing 10. This fixes the bushing 10 and the insert 16 relative to the plate Crimping of its edge 38. The arrangement that is now complete with the spring 24 and the pin 26 can be manipulated, ie transported or used without falling apart cuts in its longitudinal direction), so that when assembling the arrangement with the switch, the movement has the correct orientation and a misorientation movement is not possible. If necessary, a further set of recesses or notches could be arranged at right angles to the above recesses 32 so that the plane of movement of the handle 15 can be oriented differently. If necessary, other means of securing the socket 10 to the plate 34 can also be used.
