The base member has a pair of fixed contacts biased toward one another with an access slot in the base member housing disposed in a region between the fixed contacts. The movable member has an extending insulation stab portion carrying insulated conductive surfaces on its opposite sides. The extending stab can be pressed between the fixed contacts of the base member and each contact engages one of the conducting stab surfaces. An extending wire is mechanically connected at its ends to the conductive surfaces. A continuity circuit is connected in series with the fixed contacts, and can be either normally open or normally closed depending on whether the elongated wire is conductively connected between the conductive surfaces.

SHEET 2 BF 2 1 TRAP SWITCH WITH ELONGATED MOUNTING WIRE FOR COMPLETING CONTINUITY CIRCUIT BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to switch structures, and more particularly relates to a trap'switch for use in a burglar alarm system wherein the switch has an elongated wire serving as the operator of the switch. It is known to provide two-.piece switches for burglar alarm systems in which aba'se piece carrying spaced contacts pressed toward engagement with one another cooperates with a movable piece having an elongated insulated stab. The stab is normally between the spaced contacts and holds them apart so that the circuit between the contacts is normally open. The movable part then has a BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The principle of the present inventionis to provide a novel trap switch with a pair of removable conductive surfaces'on the conventional insulation stab, and to thereafter use. the device actuating wire to make electrical connection between these surfaces when it is deiitQd-to use the switch in a normally closed circuit. when the conductive surfaces are removed, the insulation stab will operateas in the past. However, by .the simple modification of using a conductor for the actuating wire, and connecting this conductor between the conductive surfaces, and then bending the contact strips of the fixed housing so that they do not make contain when the stab is withdrawn, the switch can be used, ina normally closed circuit. 2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG". 1 is tion., I FIG. 2 is a sideelevation of the switch of FIG. 1 with :the movable member partly withdrawn to show the a top view of the novel switch of the inventhree-component stab of the invention.

' bET-AI D- DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS f:- Referring now to thedrawings and particularly FIGS. '1: and; 2, there is shown what will hereinafter be re- .ferredtoas the fixedswitch member and movable Switch member 11. It will be apparent that these roles could be reversed and, more broadly, it is only necessary that there be motion of one relative to the other to cause switch operation. A main continuity circuit includes conductors l2 and 13 which are connected to terminals in fixed member 10, and an actuating wire 14 is connected to movable member 11. In its most common application, the fixed member 10 will be secured to a'fixed body,'such as a windowsill, while the" wire 14 will be connected to a movable member, such as a venetian blind, such that the movable-member 11 will be withdrawn from member 10 by the operation of the venetian blind. 1
FIGS. 3 and 5 show the details of construction of fixed member 10. Thus, member 10 includes a-molded base portion enclosed by a molded cover 21. Base 20 contains integral extensions 22 and 23 at its ends (pedestal 22 is not visible in FIG. 5) which pedestals contain through-openings which terminate in counter sunk nut openings in the bottom of base 20. Cover 21 has openings 24 and 25 aligned with pedestals 22 and 23 so that securing screws 26 and 27, which hold cover 21 on base 20, can be inserted into pedestals 22 and 23. Nuts 28 and 29 (FIG. 1), which are contained in the countersunk openings on the bottom of base 20, threadably receive screws 26 and 27 to hold the cover 21 in position.
The movable switch member 11 is shown in detail in FIGS. 4 and 5. Thus, it includes molded base and molded cover 61. Base 60 contains integral cylindrical posts 62 and 63 which support the cover 61, and further contains openings 64 and 65. The bottom of base 60 contains four countersunk openings aligned with through- openings 66 and 67 in posts 62 and 63, respectively, and with openings 64 and 65. These four countersunk openings receive nuts 68, 69, 70 and 71. A
Two L- shaped brass contacts 74 and 75 are then provided with openings 76 and 77 and are inserted through opening 72 and along either side of insulation stab 73.
Note that contacts 74 and 75 are normally insulated from one another by stab 73. Screws 78 and 79 inserted through openings 76 and 77, respectively, and received by nuts 69 and 70, respectively, hold the contacts 74 and 75 in position.
Elongated wire 14, which may be an insulation covered copper wire, has its terminal ends connected beneath the heads of screws 74 and 75, with these ends inserted through opening 80 in housing 61. Note that when wire 14 is an insulated conductor, contacts 74 and 75 are electrically connected to one another. In some applications, e.g., with contacts 74 and 75 removed wire14 does not make an electrical connection between contacts 74 and 75.
The cover 61 is then provided with openings 81 and 82 which receive mounting screws 83 and 84, respectively, which are captured by nuts 68 and 71, respectively, to hold the cover 61 on base 60.
The operation of the switch can now be understood from FIGS. 2 and 5. If the switch is to be used in a normally conducting circuit, or one which is continuous between conductors 12 and 13 with movable member 11 in its closed position (with stab 73 and its conductive members 74 and 75 in the fully inserted position between contacts 42 and 43), then the contacts 74 and 75 are electrically connected by wire 14'and contacts 42 and 43 are bent so that they do not touch when in their unfiexed position. Movable member 11 is then placed in its fully connected position by inserting stab 73 (and conductors 74 and 75) through opening 50 in housing 21 and between contacts 42 and 43. There is a relatively light spring contact pressure between contacts 42 and 74 and contacts 43 and 75 to define a continuous circuit from wire 12, terminal screw 46, contact 42, contact 74, wire 14, contact 75, contact 43,
terminal screw 47, and wire 13.
The movement of the member mechanically connected to wire 14 easily lifts the switch member 11 away from fixed member against the light spring pressure of contacts 42 and 43 until there is disengagement of contacts 42 and 43 from contacts 74 and 75, respectively. This opens the circuit between wires 12 and 13 to initiate a suitable alarm.
In order to use the same assemblage in a normally nonconducting alarm system, the only change needed is that the contacts 74 and 75 are removed. At the same time, the phosphor bronze contacts 42 and 43 are bent more open to a position where they normally engage one another. In this mode of operation, insertion of insulation stab 73 between contacts 42 and 43 simply spreads contacts 42 and 43' away from one another and out of contact. Therefore, there is not a continuous circuit between wires 12 and 13. However, when member 11 is moved and the stab moves away from betweencontacts 42 and 43, they will close to complete a circuit between wires 12 and 13 to actuate a suitable alarm. Although this invention has been described with respect to preferred embodiments, it should be understood that many variations and modifications will now be obvious to those skilled in the art, and therefore, the
scope of this invention is limited not by the specific disclosure herein, but only by the appended claims.
