Abstract

911,805. Retractive switches CHERRY ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION (Anderson, F. N., and Cherry, W. L.). March 14, 1961, No. 9272/61. Class 38 (5). The housing of a change-over buttonoperated switch comprises two halves (only one shown) having slots and recesses such that the switch components are located by assembly of the two halves. Slots 18, 19, 29 and recesses 23, 27, 32 position terminal plates 20, 24 and 28 respectively. Plates 23 and 27 carry offset contacts as shown, and a movable contact plate 38 carries a co-operating contact on a cantilever portion 40 to produce a rocking. wiping action whereby the switch contacts are self-cleaning. The plate 38 is pivoted in V- grooves 35 on upstanding arms 33, 34 of plate 28 and a spring 41 is tensioned between plates 38 and 28 as shown, such that it normally lies above the grooves 35 and thus holds plate 28 in contact with plate 20. Recesses 47 in the housing slidably locate a rectangular actuating member 46 which rests on spring 41 and has a button 44 extending outside the housing where it is engaged by a lever 48 pivoted in a slot 51 in the housing. Lever 48 carries a roller on its free end (Fig. 1, not shown), and when depressed causes actuator 46 to deflect spring 41 below the grooves 35 (Fig. 3, not shown), whereupon plate 38 snaps over into contact with plate 24. When lever 48 is released the spring 41 straightens and snaps plate 38 back to the position shown in Fig. 2.
