PUSH ROD MECHANISM Filed March 11, 1959 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 United States Patent O 2,973,664 rusn ROD MECHANISM John H. Williams, Barrington, Ill., assignor to Oak 2 Manufacturing Co., a corporation of Delaware Filed Mar. 11,1959, Ser. No. 798,625 6 Claims. 74-483) This invention relates to a push rod mechanism and particularly to a mechanism having a plurality of push rods with means for locking the push' rods to an in position and for unlocking said push rods to an out position.
Push rod mechanism for operating switches are well known and are widely used. As example of such mechanism is that disclosed in United States Patent No. 2,289,- 513, issued July 14, 1942. In the construction disclosed in said patent, a latch bar cooperating with a plurality of push rods is provided. Means are provided whereby by coil spring 30 disposed around spaced fingers 31 with-- in cutout 32 in head end 26 of the latch bar. Coil spring 30 cooperates with the inside face of end plate 13 for biasing the latch bar.
Latch bar 25 is slotted to provide a plurality of rectangular portions 35 extending from the bottom part of the latch bar toward the inside face of top plate 10. The spacing between rectangular portions 35 is such as to provide one rectangular portion 35 and an adjacent slot 36 between a pair of adjacent push rods 20. Latch bar 25 may be so positioned as to have an edge of rectangular portion 35 of a latch bar engage the side of a shoulder 21 of a push rod in the normal locked position of the push rod. From this position, the latch bar and each rectangular portion 35 may be pushed or moved along the bar length to an unlocking position against the bias of spring 30 so that each rectangular projecting portion 35 moves away from its cooperating push rod shoulder. This cooperation between portion 35 and a shoulder is not too important since finger 36 on latch bar is provided to cooperate with end plate a push rod, normally biased to an out" position, may be locked to an in position. Unlocking means are provided for releasing the previously locked push rods.
This invention provides a simple and effective mechanism for accomplishing the locking and release of the push rods in a latch bar type of mechanism.
In order that the invention may be fully understood, it will'now be explained in connection with the drawings wherein Figure 1 is. a side elevation of :the'mechanism embodying the present invention.
Figures 2 and 3 are end views from the adjacent ends of the structure illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a section on line 4-4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a detail of'part of the mechanism illustrated in Figure 1 showing the unlocking push rod in an in position.
Figure '6 is a section on line 6-6 of Figure 1;
Figures 7 and 8 are transverse sections of the mechanism illustrating the out and in positions, respectively, of a push rod.
Figure 9 is an exploded view of the latch bar and spring strip normally attached thereto.
Figures 9a and 10 are details of the portions of the spring carried by the latch bar for locking a push rod.
The mechanism generally comprises front plate 10 andrear plate 11 maintained rigidly in spaced parallel relation by end plates 12 and 13. Plates 10 and 11 have their edges bent to form small flanges for strengthening the plates.
Plates 10 and 11 are provided with registering slots 15 and 16 extending transversely across the plates. Each pair of registering slots in the front and rear plates cooperate to accommodate a slidably mounted push rod 20. Push rod 20 has shoulders 21 which are disposed between front plate 10 and rear plate 11. Coil spring 23 is disposed around the body of push rod 20 between rear plate 11 and shoulders 21. The coil spring biases each push rod to an out position where the shoulders of the push rod rest against the inside face of front plate 10.
Slidably disposed in end plates 12 and 13 is latch bar generally indicated by 25. Latch bar 25 has head end 26 slidably disposed in slot 27 in end plate 13 and has free end 28 slidably disposed in slot 29 in end plate 1,2. Latch bar 25 is biased to a normal locking position 12 for stopping the latch bar.
' Latch bar 25 is provided with-a plurality of spring metal locking fingers 39. Springlocking fingers '39 are conveniently disposed on spring body strip 40 riveted to latch bar 35 along the bottom portion of the latch bar at the side thereof. Spring locking fingers 39 are provided with bent cam edge 41 adjacent shoulder 21 of the push rods. Each spring locking finger 39 is also provided with stop portion 4 Each spring locking finger 39 is so shaped as to permit shoulder 21 of a push rod to slide underneath a spring finger, urging the spring finger outwardly away from the shoulder and permitting the shoulder to move beyond stop portion 43. Thus, each push rod 20 may be locked to an in position by moving spring locking portion 39 laterally of the latch bar outwardly away from a push rod shoulder.
It is clear that any desired push rod may be deprived of its locking function by removing the corresponding spring locking portion.
In order to release any of the locked push rods, unlocking push rod 50 is provided. Push rod 50 is generally similar to push rods 20. However, push rod 50 has shoulder portion 51 similar to shoulder 21 of rods 20 which cooperates with cam shaped edge 52 upon head end 26 of latch bar 25. Cam shaped portion 52 is so shaped that inward movement of push rod 50 will cause latch bar 25 to be moved against its spring bias. This movement of the latch bar is sufiicient to clear each spring portion 39 from any shoulder 21 of a push rod which may be in the locked position.
What is claimed is:
