UNITED STATS retreat ATET AND MANUFACTURING COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF INDIANA.
SWITCH-CLAMP BRACKET.
Application filed April 21, 1926. Serial No. 103,491.
This is an invention relating to brackets to be attached over the edge of a supporting member as a means of holding some object to be detachably fixed to the bracket, and the as a means for quickly attaching an electric switch to the instrument board of an automobile without having to boreholes or apply screws.
Referring to the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1, is a front elevation of the bracket as mounted on a section of an instrument board;
Fig. 2, a side elevation of a modification of the bracket;
Fig. 3, a front elevation of a modification of the bracket;
Fig. 1, a side elevation of the bracket as shown in Fig. 3;
Fig. 5, a front elevation of fication of the bracket;
Fig. 6, a side elevation of the bracket shown in Fig. 5;
Fig. 7, a side elevation of a slight modification of the bracket as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Like characters of reference indicate like parts throughout the various views.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2, and 7, the bracket is comprised of two plates a front plate having its upper portion adapted to extend up on and lie flatly against the board 11, and the plate 10 depends below the board and has its lower end turned backwardly;
a second modiand a rear plate 12, having an upper portion adapted to contact the board 11 from behind, a central portion bent forwardly from the upper portion, and a lower portion depending from the front of the central portion with its lower end turned forwardly to approach the backwardly turned edge of the front plate 10. Each of the two depending portions of the plates 10 and 12 has a hole therethrough to receive the stem 13 of the switch 14, the switch 14 being one form that is commonly employed where all parts are to be concealed behind the board 11 with only a switch operating button 15 being visible.
A look nut 16 is carried on the stem 13 to contact the plate 10 from the front and a lock nut 17 is also carried on the stem 13 to contact the plate 12 from behind, and by running these lock nuts 16- and 17 up tightly against the plates, the platesare drawn toward eachother to grip the board 11 therebetween by the upper portions of the plates, and to increasecthis grip, the lower ends of the plates are made to contact one another. as at (1, whereby the nuts 16 and 17 increasesthe leverage of the plates on the board 11.
Should the board 11 not beuniform in thickness in all cases, so that the lower ends of the plates 10 and 12 contact before plates are tightly against the board 11, a thumb screw 18 is provided in the upper portion of the back plate 12 and carries the bearing increased tightening of ROBERT C. PISCATOR, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR TO Q'C FALITY PLATING I foot 19, whereby the thumb screw may be press the foot 19 against the board 7 and thereby cause the bracket to In Figs. 3 and 1, the bracket is formed with the front and back plates 20 and21 integrally united at the lower end, the bracket here shown as 21 turned backwardly and upwardly against the back of the front plate 20 to the under edge of the board 11 thence-backwardly and upwardly behind the board to carry the thumb screw 18 as the means of clamping the bracket to the board 11.. The switch 1a is carried by its stem 13 and lock nuts 16 and 17 in tions of the plates. I v I Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate a. further modification of the bracket in that the rear plate 22 is attached to the top edge of the front plate 28, lies between theboard 11 and extends down and up around behind the board 11 to carry the clamping thumb screw 18.
I claim:
In combination with a, supporting member and an object having a stem, a plate in front of the said supporting member; a plate in rear of said supporting member; a section of each of said plates depending from the said member, said sections having their lower ends formed to approach eachother and having a passage therethrough to receive said stem; and locknuts on the stemto be drawn up against said sections, and screw means carried by the rear plates to grip the supporting member against the front plate.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
