Abstract

171,581. Fainter, F., and Ide, G. H. Oct. 7, 1920. Switches, quick-action, of the kind in which the contact-member is operated rapidly by a spring-controlled toggle linkage, have one of the links of the toggle provided with an additional articulation. In the tumbler switch shown in Fig. 1, the toggle consists of the link c and the compression link d pivoted together at k, the free end of the compression link passing through a roller e having a fixed axis in an extension f of the bridge. The link c is jointed to the operating tumbler-lever a by means of the pivot pin l; inclined faces m, n on the link co-operate with a face o of the tumbler lever to permit some lostmotion. In action, the toggle is moved over the dead-centre and the pivot pin k engages one side or the other of a slot in the contact-member to drive it rapidly. If the spring on the compression link fails, the mechanism is driven positively.
