Abstract

990,171. Press-button retractive switches. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Aug. 16, 1961 [Sept. 9, 1960 (2)], No. 29565/61. Heading H2B. A push-button changeover switch comprises a housing in which two sets of diametrically opposite fixed contact strips are angularly displaced relative to one another and two conductive bridges are movable longitudinally of the housing and the contact strips to alternately operate two circuits, the contact strips of the two sets being of different lengths. A plunger 21 carrying the two conductive bridges 37, 53 is biased by spring 23 to a normally outer position in which arms 41 of bridge 37 engage fixed contact strips 26 located in channels 18 of the housing. On depressing plunger 21 bridge 37 moves to its disengaged position 37a while the resilient arms of bridge 53 engage the other shorter fixed contact strips 43 located in channels 20 (Fig. 3, not shown). All the strips end in terminals 29 projecting from the housing and held in a spaced relationship by a cover-plate 5 forming the base of the housing and having slots corresponding with the channels 18, 20. Recessed external grooves 76 in the housing are engaged by the barbed arms of a V-shaped mounting spring clip (Figs. 1, 2, 4, not shown) holding the plate 5 to the housing, the ends of the spring arms being twisted to engage the edges of an aperture in a supporting panel (not shown) when the switch is mounted therein.
