Abstract

785,874. Switches. TROUSSIER, P. J., and COMEAU, H. L. July 19, 1956 [July 19, 1955], No. 22383/56. Class 38 (5). A switch comprises a two-part insulating base 10, 17 with combined strip-like contacts 11, 12 and terminals trapped between the parts, and having upstanding screw-threaded rods 20, 21 over which a two-part housing 22, 36 is threaded and secured by nuts 56, 57. The housing part 22 has bosses 23 ... 26 into the side gaps of which corresponding bosses on the housing part 36 fit, all the bosses having apertures which align when the parts are assembled, to thread on the rods 20, 21. Part 22 also carries sockets 27, 28 receiving the pins of a plug-in fuse 62, the sockets being integral with plates which are fixed by screws 31, 32 and carry contacts 33, 34. A rotor, Fig. 6, comprises flat discs 40, 41 registered by means of pins and holes 52, 53 and rotatable as a whole within the housing by means of bosses 42, 43 on the discs engaging apertures in the respective housing parts. The discs are slotted to receive contacts 46 ... 49 interconnected in pairs by braid strips 50, 51 and pivotable about their inner ends so as to engage the corresponding fixed contacts under the action of springs. The bosses 42, 43 have tongue and groove formations 44, 45 whereby a number of switches can be assembled side-byside and operated by a handle 61, the interengaging tongues and grooves being parallel to the handle whereby any switch can be removed when the latter is in the " off " position, Fig. 2. The drive from the handle may be through a tongued spindle working in a sleeve, or through a rotor like that of Fig. 6 but having no contacts, an additional housing 22, 36 being provided in either case, together with means (not shown) to hold the handle " on " or " off."
