ELECTRIC SWITCH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 442,030, dated December 2, 1890.
Application filed July 7,. 1890. Serial No. 357,957. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRANK E. FISHER, of Detroit,in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Electric Switches, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists in an electric switch, hereinafter full described and claimed.
Figure l is a plan View; Fi 2, a section 011 line Y Y, Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a cross-section on line X X, Fig. 1.
N represents a block of wood, to which the switch and contact-plates are secured.
I-I represents a base having side walls F, to which is pivoted a yoke J, the end of which is slotted to form jaws J, in which is secured a bar K, preferably formed of insulating material.
P represents a spring under yoke J, tending to force the same upward.
A represents a bell-crank lever pivoted at the point Bin base H, its short arm being represented by O.
E represents a lug on the upper surface of yoke J.
D represents a link, one end of which is pivoted 011 arm C, and L L represent springplates secured to the lower side of bar K and extending up the sides of said bar, as shown in Fig. 3.
M represents terminal fastenings, of which there may be two, or four in opposite pairs, each provided with a binding-screw S to secure the end of a conductor Q R, and the spring-plates L are adapted to crowd between the fasteningsM and make connection between conductors Q B when the apparatus is in the position shown in the drawings. In this position the pivot Band the pivots at the two ends of the link D are nearly in a line, so that the bar K is locked in the position shown, and the spring P is unable to raise it; but the moment the end of lever A is forced to the right, Fig. 2, this lock is broken and the spring P immediately throws the bar K upward, thus breaking the switch. hen the bar K is forced downward in position to connect the terminals M, its motion is checked by the lever A coming in contact with the stop G on the base H, as shown in Fig. 2.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. An electric switch composed of the pivoted yoke J, carrying the insulating-bar K and contact-plates L, the spring P, and bell- 55 crank lever A, pivotally connected with said yoke, substantially as shown and described.
2. In an electric switch, the combination of the bell-crank lever A 0, link D, pivoted bar K, and terminals M, substantially as shown 60 and described.
FRANK E. FISHER.
