Definitions

  • the present invention relates to rocker switch units particularly for small household and electronic appliances.
  • the present invention has for its aim the presentation of a rocker switch unit which, by arrangement and combination of parts, proves more advantageous in terms of manufacture, assembly and costs and is suitable for applying to 19 x 13 mm and 27 x 12 mm boring templates.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to provide a rocker switch unit featuring never-assembled construction devices and elements contemplated for small-size switch units such as that presented here.
  • Number 10 in this drawing indicates the switch unit comprising a casing 11 with means 11a for its fitting in operation, a base 12 holding 12" fixed contacts, a moving contact 13 and a switch 14 for controlling the moving contact 13.
  • the casing 11 is made of relatively flexible material.
  • a small continuous external channel 15 open at the front, i.e., towards switch 14, and having several 15' corner drainage openings.
  • the purpose of the small channel 15 is to collect liquids and condensate and discharge these outside so they do not penetrate inside the casing 11, towards the power contacts.
  • the base 12 is made from a material different to that of the casing 11 so it is more resistant to heat.
  • Said base 12 has a number of 12' side dentils which snap fit into special 11' holes in the sides of the casing so the two fasten together.
  • the 12' fixed contacts consist of terminals to which the power leads are fastened; the base is made of material able to resist the heat generated during soldering of the power leads.
  • the fixed contacts given the same dimensions of the switch casing, feature preferably a centre distance greater than that of known switches, of the same kind.
  • the arm and closing strength of the moving contact are thereby increased and better results are achieved with regard to the amperometric capacity of the switch unit itself.
  • the moving contact 13, housed in said casing 11, consists of a flexible metal foil, with a substantially asymmetric "C" shape which acts both as a positioning spring and a contact.
  • the moving contact 13 is pivoted on a 12" fixed contact which rests on the other 12" fixed contact as a result of switch movement.
  • Control switch 14 consists of two materials of different colour 14a, 14b. This two-component, two-colour aspect of the switch facilitates location, by means of the visible colour only, of the off or on part of the switch without requiring other means of indication.
  • the control switch 14 is fitted in a special housing of casing 11 on which it is centrally pivoted. It features a small fin under the pivot point, turned inwards with respect to casing 11 and which controls the moving contact 13 in the known manner.
