Abstract

1,267,311. Switch indicators. GLOBEUNION Inc. 30 April, 1970 [10 Sept., 1969], No. 20834/70. Heading H1N. In an electric switch, a lamp 13, Fig. 3, illuminates a button 17 having two separate regions illuminated by the lamp 13 and having. different light transmitting or opaque portions whereby the button 17 is illuminated with a different visual effect in its two positions. In the example the normally projecting portions 17a of the button may be diaphonous (transparent or translucent) and is illuminated when depressed; the light otherwise being cut-off by seal 23<SP>1</SP>. The lower region 17b exposed permanently to the light from the lamp may be opaque or, diaphonous and coated with opaque material, or coated with a light-transmitting material to impart a different colour to the button when depressed. A diaphonous disc 24 may also be fitted to the casing to give a permanent indication. The push-button may also be replaced by a pivoted actuator. The lamp socket terminals 15 yieldingly engage the switch terminals 16.
