Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a double release electrical switch especially designed to control the electrical motors for the power windows of a motor vehicle.
  • the present art relates to the switches for the electrical motors of the power windows, and aims to achieve two different type of control, in order to control the opening or the closing of the door windows of a motor vehicle.
  • the one is a manual control, that is the operator has to keep the switch button pressed until the door window has reached the desired position, while the other one is an automatic control which, starting from any position of the door window, allows a complete opening or closing of the door window with a single operation on the control button.
  • a double-release switch to control the electrical motors for the power windows of a motor vehicle, comprising a button and a containing body where e minimum of two mobile contacts act, said mobile contacts being adapted to move so that they can reach both a first stop position achieving the closing of a first part of the fixed contacts on a printed circuit and a second stop position achieving the closing of a second part of the fixed contacts on a printed circuit; characterised in that the mobile contacts are integral part of al least a spring metal plate provided with at least a pair of bow arms the ends of which are pivoted on a support which is rigidly connected to said printed circuit.
  • reference number 3 indicates the external body of a switch intended to operate the motors of the power windows, provided with a swinging control button 3 snapped on an internal part 4 of the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle (not shown).
  • the button 3 is mobile, in the position indicated by section lining in the figure, in order to control the closing or the opening of the power windows (glasses) of the motor vehicle.
  • the body of the switch consists of a basis 5 on which there are the printed circuit 7 and the connectors 8 for its connection to the electrical system and of an intermediate ring body 10 acting also as a support element for the control button 3 snap pivoted at 11.
  • the button 3 there are two transversal projections which are not aligned on the longitudinal axis of the button itself, being the one a front projection 13 adapted to lower the power window and the other a rear projection 14 (marked by section lining in figures 4 and 5) adapted to lift the power window.
  • the position of the projections may be modified in order to vary the stroke and the operation strength on the button, as it will become more clear from the following description.
  • said projections press alternatively on the one or the other of the two adjacent levers 15 and 16, which are part of the ring body 10 and free to swing in relationship to it, by means of a film hinge 17, moulded in the plastic of said body (figures 3 to 5 show the first right lever 15 only).
  • the two levers 15 and 16 are provided with two projections 19 and 20 respectively which, when being used, are adapted to push sideways on the respective central part of two spring plates 21 and 22, the one with the contacts 24 and 25 intended to close the part of the circuit that controls the lowering of the power window, and the other with the contact 24a and 25a intended to close the part of the circuit which controls the lifting of the power window (fig.6).
  • the spring plates are implemented on a rigid sheet support 27, which is made integral with the printed circuit 7 by means of welding. The spring plates are hanging from said support 27 by the facing ends of two bows 29 and 30 which are integral with each plate 21 and 22.
  • the ends of the bows are pivoted at different heights on the support 27 so that they are located at different distances from the spring plate when it is in its rest position, as shown in figure 3. In this way, different reaction will occur at different times when some pressure is applied to the centre of the plates. It is obvious that the height at which there are the points where the bows 29, 30 are engaged to the second spring plate will be inverted in relationship to the one of the first plate.
  • the switch according to the present invention works as follows.
  • the contacts 24, 25, 24a and 25a are made to slide against the printed circuit 7, in particular at the first release downwards and at the first release upwards.
