Abstract

594,114. Snap-action switches. HOLLIS, G. June 26, 1945, No. 16321. [Class 38(v)] A snap - action switch is provided with a fixed contact 7 which may be bifurcated as shown in Fig. 5 and a movable contact t comprising a rigid plate 10 connected to spring members 8 connected at their other ends to a rigid plate 9 fixed to the switch base by a terminal passing through an opening 11. The inner ends of the plates 9, 10 engage in grooves 15, 16 in the actuating member 3, the edge of the plate 9 acting as a pivot about which the member 3 turns. Movement of the member 3 raises or lowers' the inner edge of the plate 10 which strains and elongates the springs 8 thus causing a wiping action between the moving and fixed contacts 10, 7 during both the opening and closing movements. When the plate 10 passes the deadcentre position it snaps over from one extreme position to the other. In a modification the plates 9, 10 form the two movable contacts and are actuated by a pushpull button the lower end of which is notched to engage the inner ends of the plates.
