Application December 11, 19.46, Serial No. 715,558
This invention relates to fluid pressure switches for electrical circuits and consists particularly in a novel safety switch which responds to the presence or absence of normal operating pressures in the oil feed line of an engine.
An important use of the invention is in connection with the electric fuel pump illustrated in Korte Patent No. 2,394,860 in which the pump motor is energized when the ignition circuit is closed. The switch of the present invention is interposed in the pump motor circuit to open this motor circuit in case the oil pressure should fail or when the engine is not running. During starting, the current is by-passed around the switch to provide for starting fuel. as described and claimed in Korte and Lannert Patent No. 2,370,249.
The main object of the present invention is to provide a safety switch of the above type having improved means for preventing corrosion of the switch points.
Another object is to provide such a switch with meanspermitting access to and adjustment of the switch actuating element while preventing the admission of moisture and other foreign matter to the contact points.
Another object is to provide a self-locking adiustment for the switch actuator.
Another object is to provide such a switch in which the actuator element has adequate movement to compensate for wear and inaccuracies of manufacture.
Another object is to provide such a switch having a switch actuating diaphragm with means for positively limiting the throw of the diaphragm to prevent excessive distortion thereof.
Another object is to provide switch actuating means which causes wiping action between the switch points to insure better contact therebetween.
Another object is to provide a pressure actuated switch that is substantially more sensitive than previous switches of the type so as to operate properly under the wide variation of pressures produced by engine lubricating systems under different operating conditions.
Stillanother object is to provide a novel pressure switch of the double contact type in which the respective stationary contacts will be closed when there is pressure and absence of pressure in the system.
These objects and other more detailed objects hereafter appearing are attained by the device. illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which 7 Claims. (Cl. 200-83) Fig. l is a top view of the switch.
Fig. 2 is a vertical center section therethrough, parts at the top of the switch chamber being shown in elevation.
Fig. 3 is a partial vertical transverse section taken on line 33 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a detail view. similar to Fig. 2 but showing a modification.

Fig. 6 is a top view of a third modification.

Fig. 8 is a wiring diagram illustrating an application of the switch in Figs. 6 and 7.
The switch is enclosed within a casing formed by cylindrical side wall I 0, top wall II, and a bottom web l2. A flexible diaphragm l3 extends across the chamber immediately below the bottom web and is clamped in position by a frustoconical housing I4 forming apressure chamber beneath the diaphragm. The edges of web 12, casing l4, and diaphragm l3 are clamped in position, as shown, by the U-sectioned lower edge of casing wall ill, a sealing gasket I6 being provided above web I2. Web i2 has a cup-shaped iintermediate portion I! with a central opening An internally-threaded, hollow plunger 20 is centrally secured to the diaphragm by means oi force transmitting upper and lower washers 2| and 22 and riveted pin-like projection 23 extending through the diaphragm. Plunger 20 fits rather closeiy'in opening Ila and is guided thereby in its vertical movements with the diaphragm. The diaphragm is constantly urged downwardly by a coiled spring 24 compressed between the under surface of cup I1 and upper washer 2|.
An actuator head 26 of insulating material rests on top of plunger 20 and is tightly secured thereto by a shouldered pin 21 pressed into a tightly fitting, axial opening in a shank member 28 having its lower portion threadedly received within plunger 20. Element 28 also has an upper, knurled portion 29 which cooperates with the inwardly projecting extremity 30 of a spring coil 3! received about the plunger to resist unauthorized rotation and adjustment of the shank element and head 26. Pin 21 has a screw driver slot 32 in its upper end.
Top wall ll of the switch chamber casing opposite diaphragm I3 mounts a stationary contact strip 35 (Fig. 3) and contact 31 by means of a rivet 38 carrying a terminal clip on the outside of the casing. A second rivet 40 in wall H mounts a terminal clip 4| and carries a' metallic washer 42 inside the casing which bears against a metal plate 43 formed of spring steel and constituting one leg of the U-sectioned spring. The other leg 44 of this spring carries movable contact 45 in juxtaposition with stationary contact 31. Gaskets 46 and 41 are clamped by the rivets, respectively, below and above chamber top wall I I, the holes through this wall for the rivet-s being sealed and insulated by non-conducting gaskets 48. Upper leg 44 of the movable contact spring extends across the switch chamber and is clamped by both rivets 38 and 40. A looped intermediate portion 49 of free spring leg 44 serves to better accommodate flexing of the movable leg. A gasket 50 is clamped beneath leg 43 and insulates the same stationary contact strip 36.
A central orifice is provided in each of gaskets 41, 4G and 50, in switch chamber top wall H, and in spring leg 43. A cup-like plug 52 and gasket 53 normally seal the opening in the top wall. There is also an opening 54' of substantially less diameter than head 26, through spring leg 44 carrying the movable contact. All of these openings are aligned with the actuator plunger to permit access therethrough for application of a screw driver to slotted pin 32 which rigidly connects insulator head 26 and threaded shank 28. Turning of the slotted pin raises or lowers head 26 relative to the plunger and diaphragm for adjusting the switch operation. Spring projection or detent 30 cooperating with knurled part 29 of the shank member provides a yieldable lock for the adjustable shank.
The form in Fig. 4 is the same as the first form except that the switch is normally closed and actuating plunger head 26a engages spring leg 44a to separate movable contact 45a from stationary contact 31a.
In both forms there is a wiping action between the switch contact during making and breaking thereof. In the first form, the throw of the diaphragm is slightly greater than is necessary to make contact so that spring leg 45 is flexed to produce the wiping action between the points.
Fig. illustrates somewhat diagrammatically a method of installing the safety switch in an oil pressure system of an internal combustion engine having an oil pan 60. An oil supply line 6| leads from the lower part 01' the pan to gear type oil pump 62 and thence by a lead 35 to a part to be lubricated. The switch pressure chamber is connected by means of fitting 34, and T-fitting 63 to oil feed line 35. Pump motor wires 64 are connected to the terminal clips at the top of the switch. A vent tube 65 connects the switch chamber to oil line 6| on the inlet of suction side of pump 82. This vent insures the maintenance 01' substantially atmospheric pressure within the switch chamber irrespective of movements of the diaphragm and temperature changes. Its manner of functioning is as follows:
When the engine is not in operation, oil stands in pan BI] and in vent tube 65 at the level x-x. When the engine is running, pump 62 reduces the pressure in line GI and lowers the level of oil in tube 85, say to level y-1/, to accommodate the air displaced by the diaphragm movement, caused by the application of oil pressure from the pump to the underside of the diaphragm. In case 01' reduction of the oil pressure, or .when the engine stops, spring 24' lowers the diaphragm,- increas'ing the air space within the switch chamber. This draws air from the vent tube into the chamber, but oil rises in the vent tube proportionately so that the air pressure in the vent and chamber is not reduced. Similarly, the oil level in tube 63 rises to compensate for any contraction in the air in chamber l0 caused by reduced atmospheric temperature.
As a consequence of the sealed construction, it the device is assembled under favorable atmospheric conditions, that is, in the absence of moisture and other foreign matter, the air in the casing will remain free of such matter and the switch points will be relatively free of corrosion. A small amount of oil fumes will enter the chamber from the vent tube, but this will not be harmful.
The switch in Figs. 6 and 7 is generally the same as the previous forms but has two stationary contacts 66 and 61 corresponding, respectively, with contacts 31 and 31a in Figs. 2 and 4. Contact B6 is connected by rivet 68 and strap 69 to terminal l0 while contact 61 is connected by depending angle H and strap 12 to rivet I3 and terminal 14. Movable point 15 is connected by spring strip 16 and rivet TI to terminal 18.
Fig. 8 illustrates an application of the double contact switch. Upper contact 56 is connected by wire 19 to electric fuel pump 80. Movable contact 15 connects by wire 8! to ignition switch 82 and battery 83. Starter switch 85 also connects battery by means of lead 88 to a relay primary 81. The points 88 ofthe relay are interposed in a lead 89 connecting battery and the fuel pump motor. The circuit arrangement is such that when either the starter switch is closed or the ignition switch is closed and oil pressure in line 34 moves contact 15 against upper contact 66, the pump motor is energized. When subnormal oil pressure exists in tube 34, movable point I5 contacts lower point 6'! to close a circuit from battery to oil pressure warning light 90. This circuit arrangement is claimed in a copending application Serial No. 719,184, filed December 30,
.1946, now Patent No. 2,497,029 granted February 7, 1950, in the names of the present inventors.
The switch has adequate mechanical movement, yet is sensitive to pressure changes as is necessary in some automobiles, for instance, in which oil is supplied from the oil pump at pressure as low as 1 /2 pounds per square inch. Systems normally operating at higher pressures may produce subnormal pressures under high temperature conditions. Although the switch chamber is sealed, variations in the volume and pres' sure of the air therein due to diaphragm movement and variations oi. temperature of the air because of atmospheric conditions or oil temperature do not affect the operation of the switch. Moreover, the switch is durably constructed, easy of application and adjustment, and reliable.
The invention may be modified in various respects as will occur to those skilled in the art and the exclusive use 01' all modifications as.
come within the scope oi! the appended claims is contemplated.
