4 Claims. (Cl. 200166) This invention relates to a switch contact structure and more particularly to a contact structure for use in light power applications. The switch contact structure embodying the present invention is useful in such devices as communication equipment, instrumentation and the like Where circuits at low power are made and broken. The type of switch to which the new contact structure is particularly adapted is generally utilized in radio receivers for changing from one wave band to another or from AM to PM reception as examples, or in tube testers.
A switch contact structure embodying the present invention is particularly desirable for use in dip soldering. As is well known, wafer type switch sections having a large number of stator and rotor contacts are used in large quantities in radio and television equipment. Such switch sections are frequently dip soldered.
A primary object of this invention is to provide a new and improved switch contact structure.
The invention will best be understood by reference to the drawings wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a contact structure embodying the present invention;
FIGURE 2 is a top view of the structure illustrated in FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 3 is a side elevation of the contract structure illustrated in FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 4 is a frontelevation of the contact structure illustrated in FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 5 is a rear elevation of the contact structure illustrated in FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 6- is an enlarged sectional detail on line 6-6 of FIGURE 3.
The new switch contact structure comprises a blank of spring metal such as brass, Phosphor bronze or the like folded at 10- to provide two thicknesses of metal '11 and 12-, providing a terminal structure 13. One of the metal thicknesses here illustrated as 12, is provided with wings 14 and 15 extending laterally from opposite side edges thereof, which wings in the completed structure are curved towards each other to provide a pin socket 16.
Terminal portion 13 of the contact structure generally has a width which is greater than the width of fold portion 10. Terminal portion 13 extends from fold portion 10 straight for a desired distance and merges into mounting portion 21. Mounting portion 21 is bent with respect to terminal portion 13 and in the specific example illustrated, the two portions are about 90 degrees with respect to each other.
Mounting portion 21 is wider than terminal portion 13. The two thicknesses of metal at mounting portion 21 are in close contact to each other and have mounting aperture 22. Aperture 2.2 as illustrated here has a generally rectangular shape, in this instance, square with clipped corners 23. If desired, mounting aperture 22 may be narrowed considerably to provide a slot for a flat rivet. In such case the slot may extend either transversely or longitudinally of mounting portion 231.
Mounting portion 21 continues on to contact jaws 25 and 2 6. These contact jaws as seen from the edge are concave to each other and have active jaw portions 27 and 28 extending toward each other, normally touching at the tips. Jaw portions 27 and 28 are tapered in width and may assume a variety of configurations. In general, con- Patented Jan. 21, 1964 tact jaws .25 and 26 are adapted to cooperate with flat metal contacts which are adapted to enter between the aws. lizing the same general jaw shape is shown in United States Patent No. 2,186,949, issued on January 16, 1940. Other types of jaws may be used.
By virtue of the integral construction of Wings 14 and 15 at the terminal portion of the metal, a sturdy terminal portion is provided. When terminal portion 13 is dipped into molten solder, the solder can run up-inside of socket 16 where one ormore wires may be inserted and will provide not only firm retention of the wires but-will also reinforce the entire terminal part of the contact clip. It is possible to have wing 14 extend from one thickness of metal and wing 15 extend from the other thickness of metal.
This application is a continuation of our prior application, Serial No. 812,301, filed May 11, 1959, now abandoned.
