April 7, 1959 P. H. WINTER ETAL TOOL TRIGGER SWITCH Filed Now/.29, 1957 INVENTORS PAUL H WINTER MARK IV. RUSSELL ATTORNEYS United States Patent TOOL TRIGGER SWITCH Paul H. Winter and Mark N. Russell, Syracuse, N.Y., as-
signors to Pass & Seymour, Inc., Syracuse, N.Y., a corporation of New York Application November 29, 1957, Serial No. 699,555 7 Claims. (Cl. 200-157) This invention relates to a trigger switch for tools and more particularly to such a switch making use of a large, hollow, moulded trigger forming the closure for the switch housing. 1
It is a general object of the present invention to provide a novel and improved construction of trigger switch for tools having enhanced appearance, operating characteristics and manufacturing facility.
More particularly it is an object of the invention to provide a trigger switch for tools including an open top housing having stationary and movable switch contacts therein, a trigger slidable through the top housing opening and accommodating within itself, operating mechanism for the movable contacts, and a frame element secured to the housing mounting a fulcrum for said mechanism and serving to retain the housing, trigger and movable switch parts in assembled relation.
One important object of the invention is to provide a switch having a trigger element of hollow moulded construction, large size and rectangular cross-section whereby it not only serves to close the mouth of the switch housing but is itself hollow to accommodate actuating mechanism for the switch.
Another important object of the invention consists in the use of an operating lever, for moving the switch contacts, having arms extending oppositely from the lever fulcrum for engagement respectively with an actuating abutment in the trigger and a trigger return spring also housed therein and both ofiset laterally from the said fulcrum.
A further important object consists in the arrangement within the trigger of the actuating abutment and the return spring whereby the latter is compressed through the actuating lever by manual movement of the trigger.
Still another object of the invention consists in extending the operating lever fulcrum pin across the width of the trigger, supporting the same in frame brackets straddling the trigger and slotting the trigger shell to slide over and be guided by said pin.
An important feature of the invention resides in the use of guiding arms in cooperation with grooves and walls on the trigger to guide the latter for straight movement into the housing.
Other and further objects and features of the invention will be more apparent to those skilled in the art upon a consideration of the following specification and accompanying drawing wherein is disclosed a single exemplary embodiment of the invention with-the understanding that such modificationsmay be made therein as fall within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention- In said drawings:
Fig. 1 is an end elevation of a tool trigger switch constructed in accordance with the present invention, the locking pin being in the inactive position;
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the switch, looking from the locking pin side;
Fig. 3 is central longitudinal section on an enlarged 2,881,292 Patented Apr. 7, 1959 scale, taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows showing the parts in solid lines for the oif position and in dotted lines for the on position;
Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the trigger separated from the switch;
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section through the trigger taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 4, and
Fig. 6 is a bottom plan view of the trigger.
Trigger switches of small size and capacity such as used in hand drills, portable power saws and in many other hand held power tools have not heretofore been entirely satisfactory from the standpoint of simplicity of construction, reliability of operation, ease of application to the tool, and facility of operation. The present invention is directed to a trigger switch which solves the prob lems not satisfactorily solved by existing devices. The switch makes use of the large, molded, trigger of rectangular cross-section protruding through the open top of the switch housing, into which it partially telescopes when pulled to close the circuit.
Referring now to the drawings for a better understanding of the invention, Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the completely assembled device, where is seen at 10 a switch housing of the molded type, generally rectangular in plan, elevation and end views and closed on all sides but the top 11. Within this housing as seen in Figure 3 is a large irregular shaped chamber 12 for the switch mechanism. The open upper end of the housing is closed by the trigger 14 seen in side and end elevations in Figures 1 and 2 in its assembled relation, and in Figures 4, 5 and 6 alone, showing it to be molded from a suitable insulating plastic. Its outer end or top 15 is suitably curved to cooperate with the trigger finger for ease in pressing the trigger which slides rectilinearly into and out of the housing for a distance limited by the stop shoulders 16 and 17 therein. The stroke is quite short as depicted in Figure 3, for its relaxed and pulled positions are shown respectively in solid and dotted lines therein.
The trigger is rectangular in horizontal section and of uniform width and length throughout its height, except at the bottom, where end flanges 18 and 19 not only serve for guidance along the end walls 20 and 21 of the recess or chamber 12 but, are overhung by edges of the insulating cover plate 23, as seen at 24 and 25, to maintain the trigger in position and limit its outward movement. The flanges also cooperate with stop surfaces 16 and 17. In order to hold the housing 10, .the cover plate 23 and the trigger in assembled relationship, a one piece sheet metal stamping is called into play, comprising a pair of vertical side rails 27 and 28 connected by transverse flat members 29 at the right end and 30 at the left which overlie the ends of the cover plate 23.
Fastening devices, such as shown at 31 and 32, depend and are arranged to be deformed, as shown in Figure 1, for engagement with abutments on the housing 10 to secure the frame and the cover plate thereto in at least three places insuring a rigid assembly. On the right, as viewed in Figure 1, a narrow wing or tab 33 projects upwardly from the rail 28 near its center and is laterally offset as shown to closely engage the flat side 34 of the trigger. On the other side a substantial upward extension 35 is in alignment with the rail 27 from which it protrudes and is provided with a depressed border area 36 which not only rigidities it but causes it to closely engage the side 38 of the trigger. Thus the trigger is guided Well above the surface of the housing by the wing and border. It is further guided against lateral movement or canting by tongue 39 extending integrally upwardly from the part 29 of the frame and having parallel edges which cooperate with the walls 40 of a groove in one end wall 'of the trigger, as clearly seen in Figures 1 and 3. All upstanding frame parts are of less height than the trigger so that yond its finger surface 15.
The actual switch mechanism is of the more or less cmiventionahsnap variety including the daterally. spaced sstationary contacts 4-2 oft-a-pain mounted: adjacent the =floor'43'of thexhambenin Tithe housing and appropriately flaredrtoa-receiye the. swinging." bridging: contacts element 44 of conventional construction, swinging about trunnions, :14. not-shown; fulcrumedsinmotches .45 acentrailly located in the upper edges of the sidel.walls ofthehousing.
