  • Such thermally responsive device 21 comprises a generally cylindrical body portion 22 having leads 23 and 24 extending from opposed ends 25 and 26 of the body portion 22 with the device 21 having means therein for normally completing an electrical circuit between the lead means 23 and 24 until the device 22 senses a certain temperature condition.

  • an electrical switching operation within the body portion 22 that opens the electrical circuit between the leads 23 and 24.
  • a pair of metallic cup-shaped ferrules 27 are provided and each has a closed end 28 and a substantially cylindrical side wall means 29 defining an openend 30 remote from the closed end 28 thereof.
  • the closed end 28 has a centrally located and outwardly projecting tubular portion 31 that has an opening passing therethrough and also passing through the end wall 28 so that the end of the respective lead 23 or 24 be inserted through the open end 30 of the particular ferrule'27 and be received in the tubular extension 31 whereby the cylindrical side wall 29 of the ferrule 27 will be fully centered on the particular lead 23 or 24. Thereafter, the assembled ferrule 27 can be secured to its respective lead 23 or 24 by solder, staking or the like.
  • a sleeve 32 of this invention is telescoped over the body portion 22 of the thermally responsive device 21 in the manner illustrated in FIG. 1 whereby the leads 23 and 24 project out of opposed open ends 33 and 34 of the sleeve 32 and can then have the ferrules 27 subsequently secured thereon in the manner previously described.
  • each ferrule 27 is substantially the same as the diameter of the sleeve 32 whereby once the ferrules 27 are secured in place on the leads 23 and 24, the sleeve 32 cannot be removed from its telescoped relation over the thermally responsive device 21 whereby such sleeve 32 need not be fastened to the device 21.
  • the sleeve 32 can be centered in the proper position as illustrated in FIG. 1 for the purpose hereinafter described and can be secured in such telescoped relation by any suitable adhesive disposed between the sleeve 32 and the body portion 22 of the device 21, as desired.
  • the sleeve 32 comprises a glass tube 35 as illustrated in FIG. 3 and is preferably formed of a glass material having a relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion. Since the glass tube 35 is electrically insulative, it can be seen that the internal peripheral surface 36 of the sleeve 32 is disposed adjacent the outer cylindrical surface 37 of the body portion 22 of the device 21 and since the body portion 22 has the outer peripheral surface 37 thereof formed of conductive material, the glass tube 35 provides electrical insulation about the same.

  • bands 40 of silver paint can be provided at the opposed ends 33 and 34 of the sleeve 32 on top of the coating 39 in the manner illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 so that when electrical connection is made respectively to the bands 40, electrical current is adapted to flow from one band 40 through the coating 39 to the other band 40 and such flow of current through the coating 39 causes the coating 39 to heat up and provide the certain temperature condition that the thermally responsive device 21 must sense before the device 21 will open and terminate the electrical connection between the leads 23 and 24 thereof.
  • thermal limiter construction 20 has been formed in the above manner and is utilized in the electrical control system of this invention for providing the elctrical interlock means for the oven door of a microwave oven in the manner illustrated in FIG. 9, only about four seconds are required for a flow of current through the coating 39 of the sleeve 32 to cause the device 21 to blow and thereby open the circuit between the leads 23 and 24 because of the thermal delay provided by the glass sleeve 35 and the thermal delay provided by the pellet within the body portion 22 of the thermally responsive device 21.
  • This time delay in the opening of the device 21 is particularly desirable to prevent a false opening of the electrical circuit as will be apparent hereinafter.
  • thermal limiter construction 20 previously described is adapted to be utilized in combination with an electrical switch housing of this invention that is generally indicated by the reference numeral 41 in FIGS. 4-8 to form an electrical switch arrangement of this invention that is generally indicated by the reference numeral 42.
  • the housing 41 is formed from a cup-shaped body member 43 having an open end 44 adapted to be closed by an end closure 45 as illustrated in FIG. 7 to define a chamber 46 therein.
  • An electrical switchable 47 is disposed in the chamber 46 and is reversely bent t define a pair of spring legs 48 and 49 respectively having contact ends 50 and 51 adapted to be spring pressed by the natural resilience of the springblade 47 into electrical contact with fixed contact means 52 and 53 whereby the blade 47 and fixed contact means 52 and 53 define an electrical switch 41' within the housing means 41.
  • the fixed contact means 52 comprises a rivet-like member 83 electrically interconnected to a substantially U-shaped conductive spring clip 54 having a pair of opposed and suitably shaped spring-clip arms 55 and 56 as illustrated in FIG. for clamping against opposed sides of one end of the conductive band 40 of the sleeve 32 of the thermal limiter construction when the same is assembled to the housing 41 by having the opposed ferrules 27 thereof respectively received in end conductive spring clips 57 and 58 and the other conductive band 40 of the sleeve 32 received in a fourth conductive spring clip 59 as illustrated.
  • the thermal limiter construction 20 of this invention is adapted to be snapped into the spring clips 54, 57, 58 and 59 of the housing 41 and since the spring clips 54, 57, 58 and 59 are formed of conductive material, the ferrules 27 for the leads 23 and '24 are respectively electrically interconnected to the spring clips 57 and 58 while the conductive bands 40 of the sleeve 32 for the heater means 39 are respectively electrically interconnected to the spring clips 54 and 59.
  • the spring clip 54 Since the spring clip 54 is electrically interconnected to the rivet means 83 and, thus, to the fixed contact 52 inside the switch housing 41, the spring clip 54 is electrically interconnected to the switchblade 47 and if the switchblade 47 has its contact end 51 in contact with the fixed contact 53, the left-hand conductive band 40 of the heater means 39 has one end thereof electrically interconnected to the fixed contact 53.

  • a switch actuator such as an axially movable plunger 63, projects out through an opening 64 in the cover member 45 of the switch arrangement 42 and is prevented from extending beyond the position illustrated in FIG. 7 by a large disc-like part 65 abutting against the inside surface 66 of the cover 45 Outboard of the opening 64.
  • a reduced projection 67 on the plunger 63 extends beyond the disc 65 and passes through a suitable opening 68 formed in the leg 49 of the switchblade 47 as illustrated.
  • the plunger 63 When the plunger 63 is moved inwardly from the position illustrated in FIG. 7 to the position illustrated in FIG. 8, it can be seen that the disc-like portion 65 of the plunger 63 engages against the leg 49 of the switchblade 47 and moves the same upwardly to thereby move the end 51 of the leg 49 out of electrical contact with the fixed contact 53 and thereby open the electrical circuit leading to the left side of the heating means 39 for the thermally responsive device 21.
  • the end 69 of the extension 67 for the plunger 63 is adapted to abut against the end 50 of the leg 48 of the switchblade 47 in the manner illustrated in FIG. 8 to limit the amount of inward movement of the plunger 63.
  • the switch arrangement 42 can be utilized for any desired purpose.
  • one feature of this invention is to provide an improved electrical interlock control system for a microwave oven or the like and the electrical switch arrangement 42 is particularly adapted to be utilized in such electrical control system of this invention which will now be described.
  • the electrical control system of this invention is generally indicated by the reference numeral 70 and is utilized for controlling an energy producing or generating means 71 for a microwave oven 72 that has a conventional door 73 for opening and closing the cooking chamber of the same.
  • the electrical control system 70 comprises a pair of power source lead means 74 and 75 adapted to be respectively plugged into an electrical power source 76 by a conventional plug 77 in a mannner well known in the art so that electrical current is adapted to be supplied by the power source leads 74 and 75 to the energy generating means 71 for the oven 72 in a manner well known in the art.
  • An electrical switch 78 is disposed in the power source lead means 74 and is suitably interconnected by tying means 79 to the oven door 73, such as by having a plunger or the like thereof controlled by the door 77 whereby the switch 78 is normally disposed in its closed position only when the oven door 73 is in its closed position and the switch 78 is normally disposed in its open position only when the oven door 73 is moved to an open position thereof.
  • the switch 78 is operating normally, electrical current can only be supplied to the energy generating means 71 if the oven door 73 is in its closed position as the switch 78 will open upon opening of the door 73.
  • the electrical control system 70 of this invention is provided with the switching arrangement 42 of this invention, the switching arrangement being schematically illustrated in FIG. 9 whereby it can be seen that the thermally responsive device 21 is disposed in the power source lead 74 by having the terminals 61 and 62 of the housing 41 respectively electrically interconnected in the power source lead 74 intermediate the first mentioned switch 78 and the energy generating means 71.
  • the terminal 60 for the electrical switch 41 of the heater means 39 is electrically interconnected to a branch lead 80 that is electrically interconnected to the other power source lead 75 whereby an electrical circuit can be provided between the power source leads 75 and 74 through the branch lead means 80, electrical switch 41 and heater means 39 should the switch means 41' be in its closed position.
  • the plunger 63 of the switch means 41 is so constructed and arranged that the same is adapted to be moved to its switch opening position as illustrated in FIG. 8 only when the oven door 73 is in its closed position and is permitted to move to its closed position as illustrated in FIG. 7 only when the oven door 73 is moved to its open position.
  • the energy generating means 71 for the oven 72 cannot be supplied electrical current from the power source 76 because the switch 78 in the lead 74-is normally in the open condition as illustrated in FIG. 9 even though the opening of the door 73 has caused the plunger 63 of the switch arrangement 42 of this invention to assume the position illustrated in FIG. 7 where the heater means 39 is placed across the power source leads 74 and 75.
  • the switch 78 since the switch 78 is open in the power line 74 upstream from the heater means 39, no current flows through the heater means 39.
  • the energy generating means 71 can now be energized because the closing of the door73 closes the switch 78 and opens the switch means 41' by acting against the plunger 63 and moving the same from the position illustrated in FIG. 7 to the position illustrated in FIG. 8 so that no current can flow through the heater means 39 as the current is flowing through the power lines 74 and to the energy generating means 71 to operate the same in a conventional manner. It can be seen that the current in the power line 74 flows through the thermally responsive device 21 as the same does not open until it senses the previously described certain temperature condition that can only be produced by the heater means 39 being energized.
  • the opening of the door 73 causes the closing of the switch 41' so that the heating means 39 is now placed across the power source leads 74 and 75 in parallel with the energy generating means 71 and since current is now flowing through the power lines 74 and 75, as the malfunctioning switch 78 is in its closed position, current flows through the heating means 39 and causes the thermally responsive device 21 to open and thereby terminate the flow of current to the energy generating means 71.
  • thermally responsive device 21 when opened in the manner previously described is of the type that must be completely replaced before the line 74 can be again utilized, it can be seen that the microwave oven 72 cannot be operated again until a new device 21 is utilized and such device 21 will again blow if the switch 78 isnt first repaired so that the same will normally open upon the opening of the oven door 73.
  • the switch means 78 and 41' be so constructed and arranged and be operated by the oven door 73 in such a manner that the switch means 78 will open before the switch means 41' closes upon the opening of the oven door 73 and that the switch means 41 will open before the switch means 78 closes upon the closing of the oven door 73.
  • Such a sequence of switch opening and closing would insure that the thermally responsive device 21 would not be inadvertently blown.
