Timing devices of the type wherein cam means operates a plurality of switches are commonly used to control an appliance. Such timing devices generally employ an electric drive motor to advance a cam controlling electrical switch. In modern day appliances the timing device may control a large number of circuits, thus requiring a large number of switches; however limited space is often available for the mounting of the timing device. Moreover the timing devices are commonly used to control different models and different modes of operation of appliances. Thus it is desirable that the timing device be adaptable to many different appliances.
Accordingly it is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved timing device.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a timing device having a new and improved control cam arrangement.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an improved timing device providing greater flexibility of circuitry and switching.
Yetanother object of the present invention is the provision of an improved timing devicehaving a very thin profile.
Further objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent as the following description precedes and the features of novelty which characterize the invention will be pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this specification.
In accordance with these and other objects there is provided an improved timing device which may be used to control the cycling of an electrical appliance and including an improved housing having an axially restrained carn disc within the housing The cam disc is provided with a plurality of circumferential cam tracks in its end surfaces. A plurality of switch blades is provided, at least some of which have associated therewith camfollower means engageable within selected ones of the cam tracks. Advantageously a control shaft is provided axially movable relative to the cam disc and keyed for radial movement therewith. Thus axial displacement of the control shaft may be used to control an additional switch, such as the main or line switch for the appliance.
In a particular embodiment of the present invention, the circumferential cam tracks are provided on both sides of the cam disc thus providing a maximum number of control cam tracks and accoringly greatest flexibility of circuitry and control for the timer.
Moreover, advantageously the very thin profile resulting from the improved switch arrangement, with the swtich blades moving radially relative to the cam rather than axially relative thereto, provides for maximum design flexibility of the appliance.

Refering now to the drawings, there is illustrated a new and improved timing device 20, FIGS. 1 and 2, according to the present invention. The timing device 20 includes a housing 21 formed of a body portion 22 and a top plate 23 enclosing a control cam 30. The control cam 30 is of generally disc-shape having a plurality of circumferential cam tracks 31 formed'by the side walls of circumferential grooves or recesses 32. As best illustrated in FIG. 2, each of the cam tracks 31 is provided with cam lobes and depressions to provide a desired control sequence. It will be appreciated that, in the illustrated embodiment, cam tracks 31 are defined on opposed sides of the disc cam 30; however the cam tracks 31 and grooves 32 may be limited to one side of the control cam 30 if desired.
To provide for the switching control by the timing device 20, there is provided a plurality of switch blades 35, best illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 9, and eachlformed of electrically conducting spring material such as spring bronze, provided at one end with a transverse projection 36 defining a cam follower adapted'to ride within a respective one of the grooves 32v for engagement along the associated cam track 31. Suitable electrical contacts 37 are provided at the ends of the switch blades 35 for making and breaking electrical circuits.
The connector block 41 is also generally honeycomb in cross section and provides longitudinal ribs 41A and transverse walls 418 to provide for the selective interconnection of the switch blades 35. Aligning pins 45 and aligning holes 46 are provided for maintaining the connector block 41 and terminal blocks 42 in aligned position.
Interconnection of switch blades 35 is readily accomplished in the connector block assembly 40 by a plurality of connectors. Representative connectors 48 and 49 are illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 9. As therein illustrated connector 48 is of generally U-shape, having-a bight portion 48A and connector legs 48B. The'connector 48 will fit across one or more of the transverse walls 42E in one of the terminal blocks 42 to provide for interconnection of the associated switch blades 35, as best illustrated in FIG. 7. The connector 49 is generallyZ- shape having a central portion 49A and opposed legs 49B and is adapted to interconnect switch blades be tween oppositeterminal blocks42 as best illustrated in FIG. 7. It will be appreciated that the legs 48B, 49B are of spring material such as spring bronze whereby a good electrical contact is maintained with the related switch blade. v
To provide for manual setting and control of thetiming device 20, it is provided with a control shaft 50. The control shaft 50 is mounted for axial movement relative to the control cam 30, but is keyed for radial movement or rotation with the control cam 30 by means of suitable keys 51, FIGS. 3 and 4, axially movable in grooves 52 in a center bore 53 through the control cam 30. Moreoverthecontrol shaft 50 is movable from a first or OFF position, illustrated in FIG. 3, to a second or ON position illustrated in FIG. 4. To this end the control shaft'is provided with a pair of detent grooves 55, 56 in which rides a hairpin spring 57, FIG. 5. The hairpin spring permits snap action andfdetenting or locking of the control shaft 50 into one of the axial positions illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4.
Axial movement of the control. shaft 50 may control a main or line switch, and for this purpose there is provided a line actuator assembly 60 including a large segmented cup shaped portion 6l and a narrow or neck portion 62. The neck portion 62 includes a cam follower or detent 62A adapted to ride in a circumferential cam or groove 63 defined in the control shaft 50. The line actuator assembly 60 additionally includes an actuator portion 64 receiving the cam follower part of a switch blade 35A to control the line power. It will be understood that when the control shaft 50 is in the depressed or OFF position, illustrated in FIG. 3, the cam follower 62A will ride on the shaft 50, holding the line actuator assembly 60 in a lowered position, as illustrated in FIG. 3. However withdrawal of the control shaft 50 from the position illustrated in FIG. 3 to the position illustrated in FIG. 4 will permit the cam follower 62A to move into the grooves 63, so that the resiliency of the switch blade 35A will move the line actuator assembly 60 radially'upwardly, to the position illustrated in FIG. 4, permitting closing of the switch blade 35A with the adjacentblade.
If it is desired to provide for automatically opening the line switch upon completion of an operating cycle, there may be provided a suitable arrangement for shifting the control shaft 50 from the ON to'the OFF position. In the illustrated embodiment such mechanism is provided bythe formation of a lance or cam 65 formed in the top plate 23 of the housing 21. A pin 66 will extend through the shaft 50 and rotation of the shaftwill then force the pin 'to cam or ramp up the lace and break the line switch. The large segmented portion 61 of the line actuating assembly tion of the pin 66.
Suitable means must be provided for driving or rotatprovides clearance for rotaing the control cam 30, and to this end there is provided a drive assembly generally illustrated at 68 and including an electric motor 69 and gear track 70. The drive assembly 68 may be of any suitable intermittent or. continuous drive type, but in the illustrated embodiment it is of the type more fully illustrated and described in the US. Pat. No.. 3,335,235 granted Aug. 8, 1967 to G. A. Godwin. Briefly,'the drive assembly 68 is of the continuous driving type, being provided with a final drive gear. 71. The drive gear 71 normally meshes with a ring gear or gear teeth 72 defined in the peripheral face of the control cam 30. As more fully described in the above mentioned patent, the final drive gear is supported on a gear plate 73 pivotally mounted at 74. Thus the electric motor' 69 when energized will drive the control cam 30 in a clockwise position as viewed in FIG.- 2.'Moreover, it will be understood from the earlier patent that manualrotationof the control cam 30 through the control shaft 50 will be effected to ratchet the finaldrive gear 71 out of engagement with the ring gear 72and permit manual advance of the 'control cam 30; any reverse torque on the control shaft 50 will be resisted by locking of the final drive gear 71 into the ring gear 72 thus preventing manual turning of the control shaft 30 in'a backward or counterclockwise position as viewed in FIG. 2.)
Suitable mechanism may be provided for locking out the manual advance of thecontrol cam 30 when the line switch is in an ON position. Such an arrangement is best illustrated in FIGS/2 and 10, wherein there is provided a locking spring 76 fastened through the. top plate as at 76A and carrying a locking stud 78 at its other end. A locking ring 79 is provided on the control shaft 50 and is effective to move the locking spring 76 between the positions illustrated in- FIGS. 3 and 4.
When the line switch is ON, as illustrated in FIG. 3, an enlarged portion 78A of the locking stud 78 locks the stud 78 into a hole73A in the gear plate 73 preventing the gear plate 73 from pivoting to declutch from the ring gear 72. However when the line switch is OFF, in the position illustrated in FIG. 3, the locking ring 79 allows the pivot plate 73 to move freely in a necked down portion 788 of the stud 78.Thus forward manual rotation of the shaft 50 and control cam 30 isprevented when the line switch is energized.
