Abstract

1359772 Mechanical switches SQUARE D CO 1 May 1972 [4 May 1971] 50754/73 Divided out of 1359771 Heading H1N The description of the invention is substantially the same as that of the Divisional Specification 1,359,771, but the claims relate to the rotary selector switch embodiment, only, in which the degree of rotation is limited by stop means 196, 210, Fig. 23, and selected detent positions are provided by spring pressed reciprocating sliders 169 engaging depressions 192 on the rotary stem 168 of the switch. The claims also relate to a rotary actuator which is retractive over at least a part of its rotation with some of the depressions 192 being replaced by flats (194), Fig. 24 (not shown). Alternatively the switch may be centre-stable and the spring- loaded sliders 169 entirely removed. Central stability is provided by a torsion coil spring (224), Figs. 34-38 (not shown), having radially projecting ends (226) engageable with stops (230) on a ring (225) rotatably locked on the stem 168 by engagement of a slot (231) with a projection 196. The claims also relate to an illuminated rotary actuator (165), Fig. 38 (not shown), in which a non-rotatable lamp (130) is mounted within a central recess (235) of the actuator.
