Abstract

1358955 Mechanical switches SWFSPEZIALFABRIK FUR AUTOZUBEHOR GUSTAV RAU GmbH 24 April 1972 [11 March 1972] 18819/72 Heading H1N In a steering column switch, the end of the pivoted actuating lever 10 (pivot point to right of figure) carries a pivotally mounted contact carrier 16, the pivot 15 of which is spring urged longitudinally of the axis of the lever 10 by a spring 12 whereby a centre stable position is obtained in which recesses 18, 19 on the carrier 16 engage fixed pins 20, 21 about which the carrier 16 pivots to one of two self-restoring positions (as centre 22 at 22<SP>1</SP>) at which the action of the spring 12 is along line 17<SP>1</SP> below the centre of pin 20. At these positions one of two further recesses 28, 29 in the carrier 16 engage respectively one of a pair of fixed pins 26, 27 about which the carrier 16 then pivots on further movement of the lever 10 until the centre 22 of pin 15 passes the dead-centre line of action 17<SP>111</SP> of the spring 12 to a stable over-centre position 22<SP>11</SP> where the line of action 1711 of the spring 12 is above the centre of the pin 26. The carrier 16 supports a contact blade 30 which, when the carrier pivots (upwardly in drawing) about the pins 20, 26, slides on a fixed terminal strip 31 to the first unstable position 30<SP>1</SP> and second over-centre stable position 3011. At both of these positions it engages both the first fixed terminal strip 31 and a second fixed terminal strip 32. A further terminal strip (not shown) is provided for engagement by the contact 30 when the carrier 16 pivots (downwardly in the drawing) about pins 21, 27.
