Abstract

1,092,972. Rotary switches. OAK ELECTRO/NETICS CORPORATION. Feb. 25, 1966 [Feb. 26, 1965], No. 8430/66. Heading H2B. [Also in Division F2] An index mechanism comprising a rotatable notched disc 45 engageable with fixed balls 32, 33 is mounted in a single piece zinc or aluminium alloy housing 20 comprising a square base 21 having bearing means 35 for the shaft 39, opposed walls 24, 25 provided with bores housing balls 32, 33 and opposed walls (22, 23, Fig. 3) spaced from walls 24, 25 and provided with laterally extending ears (57, Fig. 3) and fingers (34, Fig. 3) for retaining the ends of biasing leaf springs 49 for balls 32, 33. A stop means may comprise a tab or tabs 50 stamped from disc 45 engageable with a leg (55, Fig. 2) provided on an annular member (54, Fig. 2) and disposed in any one of a plurality of holes (53, Fig. 1) in the base 21, or engageable with a stop (75, Fig. 3) integral with housing 20. Ears (57, Fig. 3) on walls (22, 23) may have holes (56, Fig. 3) for tie rods for stator sections, or may have integrally formed strut members (59, 60, Fig. 9). The rear stator section may be held by swaging the strut member (Fig. 10) or by spring clips (66, Fig. 11). Integral V-section tie rods (70, Fig. 17) may retain the stator sections by bending the ends of the legs into engagement with opposite faces thereof. A resilient plastics cover 76 provided with a flat top 77 and a continuous side wall 78 has projections (82, Fig. 15) snapping into notches (83, Fig. 15) in ears (57). To mount larger stator sections, a flat adapter plate 85 having holes 86 for tie rods is mounted on holes (56) in ears (57), either by tabs (87, Fig. 13) on plate 85 being crimped over the holes (56) or by aligned holes (97, Fig. 16) and screws. A stop abutment 93 on plate 85 is engageable with tab 50 on disc 45. In a modification (Figs. 5-7) the base (121) is circular and walls (122, 123) are provided on an annular flange (170, Fig. 6). Walls (124, 125) have U-slots (Fig. 7) receiving the balls (132, 133).
