Abstract

A load responsive switch that is responsive, for example, to the weight of an operator or passenger on the seat of an automobile. The switch is actuated by the deflection of a composite beam comprising upper and lower metal strips which are separated by a plastic spacer. At one end of the beam, the ends of the upper and lower strips are connected to each other. At the other end of the beam, the lower strip is fixed to a housing for the switch, and the corresponding end of the upper strip is free. In this manner, when the beam is flexed in response, for example, to the weight of a driver or passenger on the seat of the automobile, the end of the upper strip moves into the switch housing to change the state of the switch. The housing is provided with a slide member movable longitudinally therein, and a cover for closing the upper portion thereof. Two terminals are contained in the housing and the switch is closed when the contact arms of a bus bar mounted in a slot in the slide member engage the terminals. The plastic slide has a central rib frictionally received between fingers on the end of the upper strip. Overtravel of the upper strip is accommodated by movement of the free end thereof relative to the sides of the central rib of the slide member.
