  • FIG. 1 there is shown the external appearance of a miniature precision snap action switch constructed in accordance with the invention.
  • the switch is provided with an electrically insulating enclosure comprising a base 2 and a cover 4.
  • Base 2 provides the rear wall and integrally molded therewith most of the upper and lower and left and right walls of the enclosure.
  • Cover 4 provides the front wall and a small part of the upper, lower, left and right walls of the enclosure.
  • Base 2 is provided with means for supporting a switch operating plunger 6.
  • This means comprises a rectangular aperture 2a extending down through the left-hand portion of the upper wall of the base.
  • This aperture is in the form of a notch in that it communicates with the forward edge of such upper wall to enable the plunger to be dropped thereinto before the cover is riveted onto the base.
  • the cover is arranged to form one wall of the aperture and the base forms the other walls of this aperture whereby the plunger is slidably guided for longitudinal movement.
  • Base 2 is provided with means for pivotally supporting a so-called integral actuator for operating the plunger.
  • This means comprises a cover rivet 8 and an external recess 2b in the upper wall of the base located slightly to the right of the midportion of the base and surrounding the rivet through a portion of its length.
  • this recess provides space around the rivet for an actuator which may be a metal strap bent to provide an offset hook on one end. This hook would retain the strap on rivet 8 allowing the limited pivotal movement and the straight end of such strap would rest on the end of the plunger 6 whereby depression of any portion of the strap would depress the plunger.
  • recess 2b extends from the forward edge of the upper wall of the base toward the rear a sufficient distance to center it on the enclosure when the cover is riveted in place.
  • a second rivet 10 extends through the cover and the right-hand portion of the lower wall of the base to rigidly secure the cover.
  • the base and cover are provided with complementary interfitting portions to register the cover on the base.
  • the lower left and upper right corners of the cover are notched away and the corresponding corners of the base have forward projections 20 and 2d, respectively, fitting into the notches in the cover.
  • These projections have horizontal mounting holes 22 and 2f therethrough with one of these holes such as 2e being oblong to avoid close tolerance requirements in the locations of the bolts or rivets that are used to secure the switch in place.
  • the switch is of the single pole double throw type whereby a common external terminal may be connected to either one of two selected external terminals.
  • base 2 is provided with a pair of spaced slots 2g in the right wall communicating with the forward edge thereof for receiving a pair of fiat contacts 12 and 14.
  • These contacts are provided at their internal ends with lateral ears 12a and 14a which fit into complementary recesses in the rear wall of the base and in the cover rigidly to secure the contacts in place when the cover is assembled.
  • Suitable contact elements 12b and 14b of low resistance metal are welded on the internal ends of the contacts on the surfaces facing one another.
  • the external ends of these two contacts are provided with suitable terminal connectors such as screws 12c and 14c for connecting the switch to an external circuit.
  • a common terminal 16 is arranged to receive an improved snap action contactor 18.
  • This common terminal is bent at a right angle at three spaced apart points along its length to provide four functional portions including an external terminal portion 16a arranged horizontally beneath the base and having a suitable connector thereon such as a screw 16b.
  • the adjacent portion 160 extends vertically through a slot 2h in the lower wall of the base.
  • the next portion 16d extends in the left-hand direction within the base and the final portion 16c extends vertically from portion 16d.
  • common terminal 16 is divided or has its center removed throughout portions 16a and 16d and into the upper part of vertical portion 16c to provide space for contactor 18.
  • upper divided portion 16e has lateral extensions as shown in FIGS. '2 and 6 which continue into the left-hand part of divided portion 16d. These lateral extensions fit into complementary recesses in the rear wall of the base and the cover rigidly to secure the common terminal in the enclosure.
  • the switch is provided with a one-piece snap action contactor 18 for electrically connecting the common terminal to either one of the selected contacts 12 and 14.
  • This contactor comprises a leaf spring as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 having contact elements 18a and 18b of low resistance metal secured to upper and lower surfaces at its relatively wide right-hand end for engaging the contact elements of the selected contacts.
  • Contact elements 18a and 18b may form parts of a single rivet swaged in a hole in the leaf spring.
  • this right-hand end of the contactor extends between the internal ends of the selected contacts 12 and 14.
  • a pair of leaf spring compression elements 180 extend in the left-hand direction at a small upward angle from this right-hand end of the contact and are separated by a center strip 18d.
  • These compression elements and center strips are of substantially equal width and are spaced from one another by a pair of narrow gaps to allow freedom of relative movement.
  • This center strip is longer than the compression elements and its left-hand end portion is bent back parallel under neath to underlap the compression elements through a substantial portion of their length.
  • this bent back portion 18e has diverging sides or widens from the bent back point which is some distance to the left of the compression elements 180 toward its end. As shown in FIG. 9, this portion 18e widens starting from or just before the bent back point so that it reaches the full width of the snap action contactor a short distance before its end. This full width is the width of the contactor at the contact elements and at the compression elements.
  • the extreme end of the bent back, widened portion is provided with a short central tongue 18 for retaining this end in the bottom of the U-shaped slot which preventing side movement of the contactor blade.
  • the operating force of the contactor may be selected by making this U-shaped slot the desired depth down into portion 16c.
  • elements 180 and bent back portion 18c become compression elements.
  • the left ends of compression elements 180 are pivotally supported in the right angle corner pivot P between portions 16d and 16a of the common terminal and are bowed upwardly.
  • the right end of the bent back portion 182 is pivotally supported at the upper end of portion 160 with its tongue 18 confined in the bottom of the U-shaped cutout in such upper end. This causes bent back portion 18a to be bowed downwardly whereby the bent end of center strip 18a! is biased upwardly against the enlarged and rounded lower end 6a of the plunger.
  • Center strip 18d of the contactor is in tension.
  • the contactor will snap from the upper stationary contact to the lower stationary contact.
  • a point will be reached in the downward movement of the plunger wherein the line of action of the movable contactor passes from above pivot P below such pivot.
  • the line of action of the movable contactor may be defined as a straight line from the point where the left end thereof engages the plunger to the point where both of the compression elements 18c connect with the contactor blade assembly near contact elements 18a and 18b.
  • this line of action passes just below pivot P, the right end of the contactor will move with a snap action from the upper to the lower stationary contact as shown in FIG. 3.
  • a characteristic feature of the invention is that the improved structure therein provides much more overtravel for the plunger than is obtained in heretofore known switches of similar type.
  • the plunger can be depressed further all of the way in to the position shown in FIG. 4 without affecting the switch position.
  • the enlarged lower end thereof stops against ledges 2i shown in FIG. 7 so that bent back portion 182 of the contactor does not engage the base.
  • the advantages of this large amount of overtravel are apparent in that it avoids the necessity of close manufacturing or operating tolerances in the operators which depress the plunger.
  • bent back portion 186 is alsomade as a compression element in addition to compression element 180.
  • portion 182 When made as a compression element integral with and as a bent back continuation of the fiat leaf spring, portion 182 will bow the proper amount when the plunger is depressed and this portion 18e is thin enough as constructed to clear the hump above hole 2e in the base molding. This is in sharp contrast to prior devices wherein a stiff member, helical compression spring or the like has been used at this point which bottoms on the base before the plunger has been fully depressed. Flexing of bent back portion 18c reduces wipe of the contacts and thus prevents excessive mechanical wear thereof.
  • Another characteristic feature of the invention is that the one-piece contactor blade construction minimizes the effect of dimensional tolerances thereby affording less variation in operating characteristics between a multiplicity of manufactured switches. To this end, it will be apparent that some of the compressive force is afforded by bent back compression element 18c so that so much less compressive force is required of compression elements 180. In effect, the compressive force is divided between two parts whereby variation in each has correspondingly less effect on operating characteristics.
  • a further characteristic feature of the invention is the provision of improved contact pressure operating force and longer mechanical life obtained from the one-piece contactor blade construction having the compressive force divided into two parts. It will readily be apparent that division of the compressive force into two parts reduces the flexing in" each compression element 18c and 18e whereby to improve the mechanical life of the switch. This division also provides better control of stress in the upper arch 18g whereby to improve the contact pressure operating force and to make it more consistent.
