Definitions

  • the invention relates to a telecommunication circuit comprising relays or relay selectors, for example, subscribers circuits, connecting circuits, register circuits or relay selectors having a multiple of the type, in which the connecting leads and fixed contacts are placed on one or more carrier plates in the form of printed wiring.
  • relays or relay selectors for example, subscribers circuits, connecting circuits, register circuits or relay selectors having a multiple of the type, in which the connecting leads and fixed contacts are placed on one or more carrier plates in the form of printed wiring.
  • printed wiring consists of an electrically conductive coating on a plate of insulating material.
  • Such wiring may by way of example be produced by printing, plating, spraying-on or bonding-on of a conductive material, e.g., a metal, on the carrier, or by removal, for example, by etching or sand blasting of portions of a metal coating on the carrier.
  • each relay contact is divided into two series-connected contacts, where the two fixed contacts of the double contact set thus formed are placed on the same carrier plate in connection with their associated conductors of the printed network.
  • the associated two movable contacts are placed on a common contact spring either each at one end of the contact spring or side by side on the contact spring or, on two electrically connected contact springs.
  • Said contact spring or springs or, a number of such springs or pairs of springs is/ are together with a relay magnet assembled to make a unit, which is screwed on to the carrier plate of the printed wiring, so that the movable contacts are placed in the correct position in relation to the fixed contacts.
  • each connection is led from a fixed contact on the carrier plate via a corresponding movable contact and one or two contact springs to the subsequent movable contact and from there to another fixed contact on the carrier plate.
  • the movable contacts being constituted of, or permanently connected with, conductors on the printed wiring.
  • the contacts are constituted by, or permanently connected with, the said conductors, is to be so understood that the contacts are either constituted by parts of the conductors proper, or that on the said conductors, contact buttons or contact springs are secured, which at their free ends carry the actual contacts.
  • the very important advantage is obtained that all relay contacts of the telecommunication circuit together with the wiring, may be assembled into a unit, and may be adjusted prior to the placing of the driving systems of the relays.
  • the wiring, on which the movable contacts are placed may be the same printed wiring as the one on which the fixed contacts are made, the movable contacts being in such case constructed as contact springs, one end of which is secured to the printed wiring, e.g., by soldering or by means of connecting rivets or a conductive adhesive, whereas the other end of the said springs, which serves for establishing contact, is situated opposite the said fixed contacts on the wiring.
  • the printed wiring, on which the movable contacts are situated may however also be an independent wiring, in that the movable contacts may by way of example be de signed as cam-like portions of a plate having printed wires, the cam teeth of said portions and the metal coating applied thereto being designed with sufiicient elasticity to act as contact springs.
  • the word printed has here the same scope as above in the term printed wiring.”
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment is according to the invention, obtained by the contacts being placed in consecutive rows with constant spacing, and the contact springs for the make and break contacts being alike.
  • the constant contact spacing simplifies the production, the placing of the. contacts and the arrangement of the wires; only a single type of contact springs is required, and the assembling of the springs is the same no matter whether it is a make contact or a break contact.
  • the actuating member both for the make contacts and the break contacts is constituted by toothed members having constant tooth spacing, where the teeth are removed in all places where no contact actuation shall take place, whereby each contact can be made a make contact or a break contact, alternatively, in dependence on the point of actuation of the tooth on the contact springs.
  • the actuating members may be produced in long lengths which are cut off, eventually broken off, into suitable lengths, the teeth being broken off according to directions given.
  • the actuating members of the make contacts as well as of the break contacts consist of rows of small rollers on two shafts, and in the places where no contact actuation shall take place, provision is made of spacing rollers having such small diameter that in no position of the armatures they touch.
  • the actuating members for the make contacts as well as the break contacts consist of small tubes having uneven wall thickness on two opposed sides and being assembled on a rod. Dependent on the position of the tube the actuated contact establishes make or break contact.
  • the telecommunication circuit comprises a relay selector
  • the multiple contacts with their associated conductors on the printed plate change numerical sequence at every second contact group or selector unit witha view to making multiple connections possible without crossing of conductors.
  • the contacts of two neighboring units may thereby be directly interconnected by means of conductors situated on one side of the carrier plate, while the connections from each of the contacts of these two units to one each of the two subsequent units are placed on the other side of the plate. If the contacts are designed as contact rivets, these establish directly the necessary connection between the conductors on either side of the carrier plate, and in the case where no contact rivets are used but e.g.
  • the contacts are plated on the conductors, or the conductors are directly used as contact-establish ing elements, the connection may be made round the edge of the plate. In both cases, separate connecting members, e.g., rivets or holes with a conductive material for the purpose of establishing contact between the conductors on either side of the plate, are avoided.
  • conductors on the printed plate may form common leads for the relay selector, while its individual multiple contacts consist of springs, but it is also possible according to the invention to let the conductors on the printed plate form individual contacts while contact springs form common leads.
  • a maneuvering member at each cross point, i.e. at the point of contact between the common lead and the individual multiple contact.
  • the use of the separate maneuvering member affords advantages, in that the mounting and the connection thereof may be effected in a very simple manner as a consequence of all of the points of contact being placed on a'plane carrier, and this further involves the advantage that the bar mechanism otherwise used in the known relay selectors may be dispended with, that a great coupling speed is obtained, and that at any rate within certain limits the choice as to the size of the selector unit is free.
  • the individual multiple contacts, the multiple connections, and the common leads are lying in parallel planes, because by so doing an extremely simple construction is obtained.
