Abstract

580,301. Tumbler switches. ALLDAY & SON (1922), Ltd., H., and BAIN, R. June 28, 1944, No. 12298. [Class 38 (v)] A tumbler switch is opened slowly by moving the lever d, pivoted at j to bridge member a, so that arcuate contacts f on an arm e, pivoted at k to the lever d, are withdrawn from fixed contacts g against the action of a spring i on a toggle link h. The latter has a slidable connection with the arm e and is pivoted at to the bridge a. This arrangement of the parts, together with the force required to compress the spring i, causes a slow separation, this movement taking place in the direction of the axis of arm e. After the contacts have opened a small distance, the link h moves past the dead centre and snaps the arm e to the left, maintaining constant separation of the contacts in the first part of the movement. When the switch is being closed the toggle mechanism imparts a quick make. Movement of the arm e is limited by extensions e' thereon engaging a recess d' in lever d. Specification 443,748 is referred to.
