Abstract

852,106. Snap-action switches. SWFSPEZIALFABBIK FUER AUTOZUBEHOER G. RAU G.m.b.H. April 23, 1959 [April 23, 1958; July 17, 1958; Aug. 22, 1958; Dec. 6, 1958; Jan. 22, 1959], No. 13795/59. Class 38 (5). [Also in Group XXXI] Toggle switches for controlling electric circuits of a motor vehicle are disposed on the housing of a speedometer. A toggle switch may comprise a hollow member 5, Fig. 2, pivoted at 10 and containing a spring-loaded ball 14 which engages either of two recesses 15 in the seating, in one position a spring-loaded metal shoe affording contact between a pair of contact elements 21. In a modification, Fig. 10, the hollow casing 5<SP>1</SP>, weakened at 83 to allow it to be snapped over bearing elements 81 in the side of the switch casing, comprises a spring-loaded contact member 88 which may be brought into engagement with one or two contact pairs 91 separated by a rivet 93. The seating may be provided with rubber cushions 96. In a further modification, Fig. 12, a similar construction is used as a circuit breaker, and in one construction, Fig. 7, an illuminating bulb 78 may be provided within the housing. In the other constructions the switches are illuminated from lamps at the rear of the instrument, the housings 5 being of translucent material.
