Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to switches of the type of those usually used for controlling the electrical supply of any circuit.
  • Such a switch comprises, in a housing, and under the control of an operating member, rocking key or push button for example, which, specific to its actuation, is available to the user, a set of parts commonly called mechanism, which forms the active part.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to the case where such a mechanism comprises, mounted movably between a fixed yoke and at least one fixed contact pad, at least one conducteru brush, which is articulated to the fixed yoke, itself conductive, and which , under the control of the associated operating member, is capable of taking one or the other of two positions, one for which, by a support zone, it is in abutment against the fixed contact pad , the other for which, it is remote from it, either that, being a simple switch, it is not then in abutment against any other fixed contact pad or that it is in abutment against a simple rest pad, that is, for example being an inverter, it also bears against another fixed contact pad for this second position.
  • the fixed yoke usually comprises for this purpose a pivoting zone and the conductive brush itself comprises, for cooperation with this pivoting zone, and following for example a knife joint, a zone which, for simple convenience, will be referred to below as the contact zone, this zone normally effectively remaining permanently in contact with the pivoting zone of the fixed yoke.
  • Each of these twists translates in practice by the establishment of a mini-arc between the contact area of the conductive broom and the pivoting area of the fixed yoke, which gradually leads to degradation of the conductive broom and / or the fixed yoke, to the detriment of the desired current transmission.
  • the conductive broom for example, is thus progressively the object of a surface oxidation, and, when it is made of brass, it is jointly the object of a structural evolution due to a migration of zinc towards its surface.
  • the present invention generally relates to a provision which, on the contrary, makes it possible to overcome this difficulty in a simple and effective manner and also leading to other advantages.
  • a switch mechanism of the type comprising, mounted movably between a fixed yoke and at least one fixed contact pad, at least one conductive brush, which is articulated to the fixed yoke, itself conductive, and that, under the control of an operating member available to the user, is capable of taking one or the other of at least two positions, one for which, by a support zone, it bears against the fixed contact pad, the other for which it is at a distance therefrom,

  • the switch mechanism according to the invention is characterized by the implementation of a double pivot for the articulation of the conductive brush to the fixed yoke.
  • a double-pivot conductive brush switch mechanism according to the invention is thus advantageously able to allow the switching of larger currents than a comparable switch mechanism comprising only one pivot. for the articulation of its conductive broom.
  • the two contact zones of the conductive brush are, permanently, disregarding any possible twists and turns, in engagement, both, with the pivoting zones of the fixed yoke, whatever the position of this conductive broom.
  • the conductive brush generally has a configuration in b loop, so as to advantageously give it sufficient elasticity so that it can ensure by itself the position control and / or the return of the associated operating member.
  • the loop that then forms such a conductive brush is open, and it closes on the fixed yoke, its ends forming by themselves the corresponding contact areas of this conductive brush.
  • the switch mechanism 10 comprises, overall, in a manner known per se, mounted movably between a fixed yoke 11 and at least one fixed contact pad 12A, 12B, a conductive brush 13, which is articulated to the fixed yoke 11, itself conductive, and which, under the control of an operating member 14 available to the 'user, is likely to take one or the other of two positions, one, Figure 1, for which, by a support area 15A, 15B, it is supported against the fixed contact pad concerned, the other, Figure 4, for which it is remote from it.
  • a contact pad can be provided, for example a contact pad 12A, as shown in solid lines in FIGS. 1 and 4.
  • such a contact pad 12B can also be provided, but it is then a simple rest pad, without active intervention in the circuit whose electrical supply is to be controlled.
