Abstract

1,012,962. Fluid actuation of switches. K. D. G. INSTRUMENTS Ltd., G. W. KING, and T. W. R. BULL. Dec. 12, 1961 [Dec. 12, 1960], No. 42757/60. Heading H2B. A micro-switch is arranged to be actuated by a control member, e.g. a fluid-responsive element, through a lost motion device. In one form, Fig. 1, a Bowden tube 10 carries a member 13 connected to one arm 14 of a lever 15 by a yielding resilient connection 7. Lever 15 is in turn pivoted to a lever 20 carrying a roller 21 movable between abutments 22, 23, the other end of lever 21 straddling a pin 24 adjustably carried by a bell-crank 29 connected to the actuator 35 of micro-switch 36. If pressure increases, the tube 10 tends to straighten and lift member 20 which pivots about pin 24 until roller 21 engages abutment 23. Member 20 now pivots about the roller to pivot bellcrank 29 and actuate the switch. The resilient connection 7 allows for over-travel of the tube 10. Abutments 22, 23 may be adjusted by cams, Fig. 3 (not shown). In an alternative arrangement actuated by a diaphragm (or bellows or Bowden tube), Figs. 5-8 (not shown), the abutments are adjusted by screw-threaded spindles. In a modification, the microswitch body is moved by the control member and relative movement between the body and the switch actuator is caused by a member attached to the actuator meeting one of the abutments, Figs. 9-11 (not shown) and the resilient connection 7 is formed by a pair of coiled tension springs.
