Definitions
- the invention relates to cross bar switch arrangements known as code relay selectors.
- An arrangement of this kind is mainly characterized by anumber of, for example ten, connecting magnets with associated armatures, mounted in a row on a common mounting plate, andby .a code system comprising bars disposedlengthwise along the connecting relays, which bars at one lengthwise edge are provided with grooves, into which lifting rockers may engage. The lifting rockers selected by thecode system are then liftedby the armature and-actuate the associatedcontacts of a multiple. More specifically, there is known a code relay selector, where the contacts are actuated by the armature in its released position, that is,
- Said construction has the disadvantage that the magnets must be made comparatively; strong because the. load is greatestwhen the armature is in a released position and thus its force of attraction is smallest.
- the attraction force characteristic ought to follow as much as possible the load characteristic.
- Thepurpose of this invention is to provide a reliable construction that fulfills this requirement. This is substantially achieved in such a way that said armatures are arranged to actuate the contact springs by means of a knee-joint system which is so constructed that in the released position of an armature it lies in or almost in its self-locking position.
- An especially advantageous construction is obtained when the knee-joint consists of a lifting iron strip, which is connected to the armature and common to the lifting rockers of the armature, and of the lifting rocker selected by the code system.
- FIG. 1 shows the switching device in its rest or inactive position in which the armature of the device is released.
- FIG. 2 shows the armature attracted and the code bars in a setting different from that of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 shows the armature attracted .and the code bars in the same setting as in FIG. 1, and
- FIG. 4 shows the armature released and the code bars in the same setting as in FIG. 2.
- the selector indicated in the drawing is in conformity with that shown in the British Patent 832,865 assembled on a mounting plate 2 extending along the length of the entire selector.
- the mounting plate is disposed perpendicularly to the plane of the drawing and mounts a number of connecting relays 1 with the associated armatures 3.
- Each multiple consists of a number of wire spring sets situated close to each other and provided with contact springs situated over each other.
- the springs of a group are actuated by means of a lifting bar 13 belonging to said group.
- Below each lifting bar there is provided an L-shaped rocking arrangement 7 is pivotally mounted on a shaft' 9 extending along the length of the selector.
- a number ofmovable code bars 12 are extending along the'length of the selector.
- These bars consist'of thin steel strips which attheir upperedgcs are provided with grooves according to a particular code system which in known manner for each connecting relay is arranged in such away that the grooves in all the barsin front of a particular lifting barcoincidewith a certain predetermined position on the bars.
- the bars are controlled by a number ofnot shown code relays.
- the armature actuates-directly the lifting rockerv which thereby in its turn actuates the associated lifting bar.
- Said lifting strip is. extending. perpendicularly to the plane of the drawing along the' length of allthe lifting rockers 7, for example. .17, asso-v ciated with anarmature;
- the lifting strip 6 is mounted.
- FIG. 1 there is shown how the third of the six code bars is moved so that it has a tooth in front of the arm 15 of the lifting rocker which arm is turned to the side.
- the other five code bars show instead grooves right in front of the arm 15. If now the magnet 1 is energized, the armature 3 will be actuated and the lifting strip 6 is drawn aside, that is, with its upper parts to the left.
- the lifting rocker 7 then tries to follow but is stopped because the arm 15 is caught on the third code bar. Then the position will be achieved which is shown in FIG. 3. When hereafter the armature is released, the position of FIG. 1 returns. If now the code bar 3 is moved so that all code bars are situated with their grooves in front of the arm 15 of the lifting rocker, the position according to FIG. 2 will be obtained.
- the lifting rocker 7 follows the lifting strip 6 to a completely swung out position when the armature 3 is actuated. The lifting strip will then engage a groove 16 in the lower end of the lifting rocker and forms a knee-joint system with the same.
- a switching device comprising at least a pair of relatively movable switch contacts, one contact of the pair being a spring contact, an actuating magnet including a movable armature, a lifting bar coacting with said spring contact for controlling the switching position thereof by the position of lift of the lifting bar, and transmission means coupling said armature with the lifting bar for moving the same into a lifted position in response to a movement of the armature into a position of release from the magnet, said bar in its lifted position deflecting the spring contact into engagement with the other contact of said pair, said transmission means including a first arm mounted pivotally about a stationary pivot point, a second arm mounted pivotally about a second stationary pivot point and longitudinally displaceable within predetermined limits With reference to its pivot point, said second arm coacting with said lifting bar to lift the same into a predetermined position of displacement with reference to its pivot point, said first and second arms coacting with each other to displace the second arm into said predetermined position by a pivotal movement of the first arm, said bar in its lifted position de
- a switching device wherein said first arm and said second arm are engageable with each other at their respective free ends to effect movement of the first arm by the pivotal movement of the second arm, said arms and said lifting bar occupying positions of substantially perpendicular alignment in said lifted position of the bar, thereby effecting locking of the arms and the bar.
- a switching device wherein a spring coacts with said armature to urge the same from an attracted position into the release position.
- a switching device comprising a plurality of pairs of switch contacts in row arrangement, a second arm being provided for each of said pairs, said first arm being in the form of a bar extending lengthwise of said second arms and common to all of the second arms.
- a switching device comprising selecting means including a settable code bar for each of the second arms, each of said code bars coacting with the respective second arm to control the position thereof with reference to the first arm for releasing and locking, respectively, the second arm for coaction with the first arm in accordance with the setting of the code bars.
