BREAKER ARM ASSEMBLY FOR A CONTACT SET Filed April 8. 1965 INVENTOR VERNON E. HE/L BY I) ATTORN Y United States Patent 3 280,292 BREAKER ARM ASSEMBLY FOR A CONTACT SET Vernon E. Heil, Indianapolis, Ind, assignor to P. R. Mailory & Co. Inc., Indianapolis, 11141., a corporation of Delaware Filed Apr. 8, 1965, Ser. No. 446,489 8 Claims. (Cl. 200-166) The present invention relates to periodic circuit breakers, and more particularly relates to circuit breakers used by ignition timers for internal combustion engines.
A prime consideration in timer systems is to provide contact breakers wherein the alignment of contacts during the operation of the system is maintained substantially without variation and wherein any undesirable variation in eifectively rotationally centering the contact arm about its pivot post during the process of opening and closing contacts is avoided.
In the several types of circuit breaker systems heretofore constructed, certain disadvantages have been found. For example, in pivoted breaker type systems, there is the disadvantage that any radial clearance in the pivot bearing used in the breaker allows an undesirable variation in the relative alignment of the two contacts during operation. To keep these clearances within reasonable limits at all temperatures over a reasonable lifetime is an exacting problem of design and production, for as the life of the contacts progresses, surface irregularities develop on the contacts. Normally, one contact becomes pitted and the other contact develops a projection of deposited metal. If these do not always mate exactly, both the performance and the life of the contacts :are adversely affected.
In an attempt to overcome the alignment difficulty, a type of contactor known as the pivotless contactor has been devised wherein a contact arm is held and located by a flat leaf spring. Because there is no lost motion or friction in the spring itself, there is commonly no difficulty experienced with relative alignment of contacts. However, there are often undesirable variations in the effective center of rotation of the contact arm during the process of making or breaking contact. This effect is likely to be most pronounced at high speeds where inertia forces are relatively large in comparison with static forces. To combat this result, the effective length of the spring is made very short. The shortening of the spring results in highly concentrated stresses in the spring and necessitates very exacting tolerances of forming to maintain proper contact pressure.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a novel ignition contact breaker having a construction which provides exact contact alignment for the breaker and wherein said breaker may be made to rotate around a fixed axis so as to provide for an improved high speed ignition contact make and break system.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a durable ignition contact breaker which operates at high speeds with a minimum of chattering or rebounding.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a means for eliminating play in the pivot arm about the pivot post in order to reduce the spurious oscillations and contact bounce and thus improve breaker performance.
The invention, in another of its aspects, relates to novel features of the instrumentalities described herein for teaching the principal object of the invention and to the novel principles employed in the instrumentalities whether or not these features and principles may be used in the said object and/ or in the said field.
Other objects of the invention and the nature thereof will become apparent from the following description considered in conjunction with the accompanying figures of the drawing and wherein the scope of the invention is determined rather from the dependent claims.
Referring now to the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the ignition breaker;
FIGURE 2 is a sectional view of the breaker taken through section 22 of FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 3 is a sectional view of the pivot construction taken through section 33 of FIGURE 2;
FIGURE 4 is a perspective view of the pivot bushing.
Generally speaking the present invention provides a durable ignition breaker which operates :at high speeds with greatl improved contact chattering or rebound characteristics. To accomplish this, a nylon pivot arm having an integrally formed pivot bushing is utilized. The bushing is slit in the section around the pivot hole or opening, :and a spring clip is positioned around the outside of the pivot bushing to force the bushing against the pivot post. This permits a close fit at the pivot post and eliminates the danger of binding because of compliance. The breaker gives better high speed performance and longer contact life than present breakers because of the improved dwell characteristics :and lower contact bounce.
In FIGURE 1, circuit breaker 10 comprises a nylon arm 11 having cam follower 12 and pivot bushing 13 integrally formed therewith. Bushing 13 has aperture 14 (FIG. 4) for pivot post 15 (FIG. 2). Bushing 13 has slit 16 to permit a close fit around post 15 but to prevent binding. Spring clip 17 is positioned around the outside of bushing 13 to force the bushing against post 15. Tension spring 18 is secured to arm portion 11 by rivets or eyelets 19, 20, 21 [and 22, and is fastened to bracket 23 by fastening means 24 which also provides an electrical termination. Contact arm 25 also is secured to nylon arm 11 by rivets or eyelets 19, 20, 21 and 22 and has a movable contact 26 at one end thereof. Stationary contact 27 is mounted to ear portion 28 of bracket 23 in alignment with movable contact 26. The point opening of the contacts is :between 0.014 and 0.020 inch.
In FIG. 2, it can be seen that bushing 13 of arm 11 is fitted around post 15. Slit 16 provides for compliance in the walls of the bushing 13 which, in connection with the spring clip 17, minimizes the distance between the bushing and the post thereby controlling spurious, unwanted movements of the contact arm about the post. Clip 17 forces bushing 13 against post 15, thereby permitting a close but not binding fit.
FIGURE 3 is a sectional View taken through section 33 of FIGURE 2 showing the pivot post 15 surrounded by bushing 13. Spring clip 17 forces bushing 13 against post 15 which is mounted to bracket 23. The relationship of spring clip 17 and split bushing 13 is shown in FIGURE 4.
The present invention eliminates play in the breaker arm pivot thereby eliminating variation in the contact location. The close fit of the nylon bushing to the pivot shaft limits the movement of the contact arm to rotational movement. Thus chattering and rebounding of contacts is prevented.
The embodiment of the present invention as hereinabove described is illustrative and not exhaustive in scope, and since many widely differing embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description and shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
