An object is to saveprecio'us'metal in the manufacture of such contact" members and to erfeet other improvements therein. I I
Heretofore contact members such. as relay springs and switching springs have been 'inade,
with. precious metalinsertsoriinlays servingas contact points, providing a precious metal strip along the center of a base metal strip androlling' or otherwise securing the two members together and then punchingout thesprings with'the c'ontact endsof two opposite springs registering end to end on the precious metal portion- Other methods of manufacturing spring having pre The present invention relates to improvements in these prior methods; andaj feature thereof is a more efficient method of-manufacturing base metal springs or wipers having contacting ends consisting of a solid tip of'preciousme'talfi More specifically, this method consists of inse rting' billets of precious metal at intervals in a strip: of
- base metal, riveting and-welding. these billets to the base metal strip and then coldrolling the strips without annealing to. givethe required spring temper and thickness forthewiper s. Out
of these strips may then be punched a seriesiio'f wipers with the tips of two opposite wipersmeet ing in a corresponding separate precious metal insert so that each wiper'will' be provided with a solid precious'metal contact tipand so that there will be very little waste of the precious metal in the scrap material after the wipers are punched out. An advantage ofthis method is that wipersof widely difierent shapes may be punched out from these strips without increasing" the waste of the precious metal inserts. The invention has been. illustrated in the"ac companying drawingin which? F '1 shows a base inetal strip' with apertures in a. row and along the central line of the stein Fig. 2 is a cross-section takenfon line 2-- -'2 of Fig-L I Figs. 3 and 4 show enla rged cross-sections'of individual billets in the base metal stripi -j Fig. 5 is a'front view o! the, base'jmetal strin and inserts rolled out to 'a' desired'thic'kness' "with a particular type of wipers indicatedffor punching out of the strip.
Fig. 6 shows a cross-section of Fig. 5: and
taken on line 8 6 Fig. 7 shows a wiper assembly on a shaftas'so} ciated' with terminals in a switch'bandj. :3 The method of manufacturing thesewipers as illustrated inthe drawing may be described: as
follows: a I I I In the base metal strip I, a series of holes such as 2 may be punched through the central line of the strip and intermediatethe'se'holes-may-be punched smaller holes such as 3; These holes 3 may be used'as guide holes as will 'be'described hereinafter; 111 the holes 'or openings 2 are inserted billets 4 of precious metalwhich are slightly thickerthan the base metal. sheet I as shown in the enlargement of'Fig. 3; The'next stepwill be to rivet this billet 4 as "shown'in Fig. 4 to -the base, metal sheet I vto'provide a' slight overlap ofthe enlargement of the rivet on-each side of the sheet as shown for example at points 5 and. 6 on opposite sides of the rivets. These riveted bil let may then be welded tb'ba'se me talshee'tby heating the assembly to a critical'tem perature suitable to. the character: of the'ins'ert material so that this billet Will 'llllite withth'e' base metal sheetin a perfectweld. N This welding or'bonding of the billetto the base metal sheet may be accomplished, for example, by? the method dis closed in the Patent 2,226,944 of December 31, 1-940 to'H. T. Reeve. This strip of material may now be rolled down to the required thickness,"that is, it may originally be of .such thickness that when it is rolled down'without annealing to a desired thickness the right spring'tefriper'required for the wipers will be obtained. An approximate'indica-.
tion of the relative'size and thickn ess of the original sheet as compared with the" sheet as; rolled out may be had by comparing Fig; 2 with Fig. 6. As shown in Fig. 5 wipers maybe punched out from this rolled out sheet arranged-in the manner indicated Wipers having this' par-tic'ularshape may be employed in telephone switches in pairs as shown for example in Fig. v'T-where they are assembled with an'intermediate insulation plate on a bushing which isse'curedto'ashaf-t. These wipers may engage terminals onfo pposite sides of an insulation sheet in a'b'ank. It should be noted in Fig; 5 that duetothis'shape; a 'convenient way of savingas much as possible-"0f the precious metal inserts and the base'metalsheet, a pair of wipers such as are indicated 'for example at 20 and 2| "maybe punched outwith the tips meeting end toend ona' precious metal insert 22 which has been'shown as'slightly'elong'ated due to therolling out of the strip. The intermediate holes between these precious" metal-inserts may serve as guide holes to locate the 'shee't 'when fit is passed in the punch press and thepunche's' may be of any suitable arrangementfor'exampletl'iere of punches may be arranged side by side to punch out simultaneously a large number of wipers. It is immaterial how this punching is done as long as the tips of the wipers are located in succeeding precious metal inserts and the wipers are so located on the strips as to leave very little scrap material after the wipers have beenpunched out. 1 While a particular form of wiper has been shown.
suitable for use in switching apparatus of the telephone art, it is to be understood that this method of punching out wipers. or springs may be applied to other forms without departing from the spirit of the invention as long as the contact tips consist of solid sections of precious'metah punched from individual billet as inserted and formed in the base metal sheet and as long as the size of the precious metal inserts are:. adjusted t s ure minimum amount ofawastegmateriall 1.
