19 Claims. (Cl. 20D-114) This invention relates to circuit interrupting and protecting devices and more particularly to an improved safety type pull switch with fuse.

An object of this invention is to provide a safety type of dead front fuse and switch combination, which by reason of a novel design and construction of parts, is unusually compact, has few parts and is easy to assemble, thereby adapting it for application to assemblies of service equipment and panelboards.

Another object of this invention is to provide a switch in which the switch contact blades serve as a means to hold and clamp fuses which cause the switch contact blades to spread apart and produce a tight iit between the switch contact blades and cooperating receiving contacts, thus insuring good electrical contact there-between.

Another object of this invention is to provide a switch wherein the switch contact blade receiving parts are entirely covered so that no live parts are exposed when the switch blades are removed therefrom.

Another object oi this invention is to provide a fuse carrying means and associated contact block which allows the fuse carrying means to be inserted in the contact block in either one of two positions. the one position causing the fuses in the fuse carrying means to close the associated circuit contacts and -the other position serving merely as a means of supporting the fuse carrylng means, the circuit contacts remaining open.

Another object of this invention is to provide switch blades having portions thereof adapted to receive and hold a fuse which allow easy insertion and removal of fuses when removed from switch blade receiving contacts and yet clamp the iuses tightly therein when they are inserted in the receiving contacts, thus avoiding undesirable heating of the iuse contact parts.

Another object of this invention is to provide a base, either with or without side walls, with the proper slots and recesses to maintain switch blade receiving contacts in proper operative position without additional securing means.

Another object oi this invention is to provide a combination switch blade receiving part and wire terminal connection which may be formed on the same piece of material,

Another object oi this invention is to provide a combination switch blade and fuse supporting means and associated switch blade receiving parts designed for a large capacity fuse, with means to adapt the same for accommodation of a smaller capacity fuse and yet prevent the use oi a larger fuse therein.

Another object oi this invention is to provide a switch blade and ruse supporting means with a handle on the front face thereof which also serves to maintain handle supporting members which may be inserted through slots ln the back face thereof.

Another object of this invention is to provide permanent means for securing the switch blades to a supporting means which also serve as test points.

Another object oi' this invention is to provide a combination of a moulded base and housing for the switch receiving contacts with load extension buses to provide for connection to a similar adjoining contact base, and to smaller capacity branches placed on either or both the main and adjoining contact bases.

Yet another object oi this invention is to provide a combination switch blade and fuse holding member adapted to have a standard ferrulo type fuse inserted end rst therein.

Further objects and advantages will appear from the following detailed description of several embodiments of the invention.

'I'he same reference numerals are used to denote similar parts throughout all oi' the figures.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 20 indicates a switch blade formed from a conducting material such as copper and provided with an expanded or enlarged portion 22 which is shaped to receive and hold a fuse terminal 23 which may be inserted therein. The expanded portions shown in Figs. 1 to 20 are shaped to receive the terminals of a ferrule type fuse. Each switch blade is provided with

end portions

24 and 26 which are substantially parallel and adapted to be inserted in receiving contacts later to be described. Tips 26 are provided on the end p0rtions of the switch blades so that the end portions Will fit tightly in receiving contacts and the enlarged portions 22 will clamp the fuse terminal tightly when the end portions of the switch blades are inserted in the receiving contacts and the tips of the end portions meet.

The switch blades are secured to a supporting means 21, which may be moulded from Bakelite" or other insulating material, by rivets 2B in recesses 30. The rivets 28 may be used as convenient test points on the front of the switch blade supporting means, if desired, as they are available to test prongs but not exposed so as to make contact with a person possible. The switch blade supporting means may be provided with a fin 32 which serves to separate adjoining switch blades of opposite polarity. A handle 34 may be provided on the supporting means and is held in lugs 36 which are inserted in openings 38 in the supporting means and positioned by extensions Il) thereon and end portions l2 of the handle. Projections M may be provided on the supporting means to maintain the handle in partially raised position. Openings I6 may be provided in the supporting means for Ventilating purposes. A contact supporting base lli may be provided with side walls 50 to form a boxlike housing 52, which may be moulded from Bakelite or other suitable insulating material. The base may be provided with recesses 54 to facilitate ventilation, a iin 56, raised portions 58 forming slots 60 along side. walls of the housing and raised portions 62 forming a slot 64 on the supporting base. Two sets ci openings are provided in the supporting base. a set of dead openings E and a set oi live" openings 68 which overlie receiving contacts B8. The receiving contacts may be formed i'rom a bar member 69 as shown in Fig. l2. and are provided with extruded portions l0 which are substantially parallel and are formed from the material which is punched from the opening 12, and a suitable terminal connection such as a. threaded hole 14 and screw 16. The receiving contacts are supporte in the openings in the base by overlying por ons 18 (see Fig. 1l) and underlying portions lill of the base. A slot B2, in the base, positions-the receiving contact laterally. Screws 8l may be provided to be inserted through holes BB in the base to secure it to a panel or wall. Holes 8B are provided in the contact supporting base to allow the screws I6 to pass therethrough after the receiving contacts are in place Normally an electric line 81 is connected to one set of bar members and a load circuit B9 to the other set of bar members as shown.

The contact supporting base and side walls forming a complete housing may be moulded in one piece from some material such as Bakelite The slots and openings, may be formed in the moulding operation. The contacts may be easily assembled in the base by inserting them without the terminal screw into the slots in the base and securing them thereto by screwing down the terminal screw until it passes through the openings in the base, no other securing means being necessary although in some types of constrction it may be desirable to secure the receiving contacts to the base by some additional means, especially if a diilerent type of terminal connection is used. The switch blade supporting means will form a cover for the contact base housing when the switch blades are inserted in the receiving contacts or the dead openings. The fin on the switch blade supporting means slides in the slots on side walls serving to guide the cover and blades into the proper position and to completely isolate circuits of opposite polarity. The switch blades may be inserted into either of the two sets of openings in the base. Il the switch blades are in the dead openings, the supporting means may be pulled out, rotated through degrees and then pushed into closed position which will cause the switch blades to be inserted in the receiving contacts. A ferrule type fuse may be inserted end iirst into the enlarged portion of the switch blades to be tightly clamped therein when the end portions of the switch blades are inserted in the receiving contacts. The presence of a fuse in the enlarged portion of the switch blades causes the end portions of the switch blades to it tightly in the receiving contacts and thus to provide very good electrical contact therebetween.

Fig. 6 shows the blades inserted into the receiving contacts and thus completing a circuit through the fuses in the switch blades. Fig. 7 shows the position of the iin in the guide as well as other parts after removal of the switch blades from the contacts. Fig. 8 shows the p0- sition of the parts after the switch blade sup porting means or cover has `been rotated 18D degrees from the position shown in Fig. 7 and inserted into the dead openings in the contact base. This latter position is the oi" position while that shown in Fig. 6 is the on" position.

The supporting housing is so shaped that a number of such housings may be placed adjacent each other on a panelboard and present a neat appearance. In such an installation it may be desirable to use a uniform size of supporting housings for the sake of symmetry and yet to use a smaller size of fuse than can be accommodated in the corresponding switch blade supporting means. For such use we have provided an adaptable type of switch blade as shown in Figs. 14 and 16, which has the

end portions

24 and 25 offset longitudinally from the enlarged portion 22. A smaller size fuso 80 can thus be held between these switch blades than if the standard type of blades which have previously been described were used. In order to insure that only the adaptable type of switch blade and its smaller fuse may be used in the circuit for which it is intended, a stop 9| is provided and may be secured to the contact supporting base by any suitable means as by a screw 92. This stop will prevent a large size of fuse from being inserted in a circuit intended to be equipped with a smaller size of fuse.

In many instances it is desirable to provide a pull out switch and fuse device with fuse sockets i'or branch circuits. One embodiment of our invention so equipped is shown in Figs. 13 and 17, where the numeral 93 indicates a plug type fuse supported in a threaded socket 94.- A housing 95 which may be of moulded "Bakelite" surrounds the fuse socket and may be formed so as to be secured on the main contact supporting base |18. An opening 91 extends through this housing to allow a screw 99, which serves as one of the contacts ior the plug type fuse, to pass therethrough. A bar member lill similar to the bar member 68, but longer, is provided with, the receiving contacts 68, a terminal connection, as a threaded hole 14 and screw 16, and a. threaded hole |03 to support the contact screw S9. A washer and an insulating washer ||i1 are placed under the head of the contact screw to clamp a contact strip |09 to the fuse socket.

The contact strip |09 projects through an opening |||l in the housing, is provided with a wire connection terminal lll, and connects the branch circuit through the plug type fuse to the main fuse in the pull out switch. A barrier H3 of insulating material may be provided to separato the two circuits `of each pull out housing as shown in Fig. 18.

It is often desirable to connect two adjacent fuse pull out devices. This may be done as shown in Figs. 18, 19, 20 and Figs. 13 and 17, where a conductor bar ||5 connects the corresponding circuits of adjoining fuse pull out devices and is secured to the bar members ||l| by screws ||1 in threaded holes IIB. A barrier |2| of insulating material such as Bakelite formed integral with the supporting housing provides the necessary electrical clearances between parts. The conductor bar H5 extends across the top |22 of the-contact supporting base. .A conductor bar |23 is used to connect the other corresponding circuits of the adjacent pull out devices but passes under the top |22 of the supporting base and is secured by screws |21 in threaded holes |29 in the bars |||I. Barriers |3| of Bakelite" or other insulating material provide the necessary electrical clearances between conductors. In order that the standard type of pull out fuse switch may be used when it is necessary to connect two adjacent ones, a break out" portion is provided in the side walls of the contact base which, when broken out, leaves openings |33 through which the lower connecting bus bar connector |23 passes.

When two of the fuse cutout devices are thus placed side by side and connected as described, it is usual to connect the line circuit as shown in Fig. 13 to the short bar members oi one of the fuse cutout devices. The load circuit B9 may be connected as shown to the bar members IUI o! the same fuse cutout device and may connect to some distribution center. Additional branch circuits may be connected to the contacts lli of each :use cutout device while the longer bar members ot the adjacent device may be connected to a large load such as an electric stove or ironer. As normally mounted the plane of the base is mounted vertically and the short or regular bar members are referred to as the upper bar members while the bar members IBI are usually beneath the others and are referred to as the lower set of bar members.

In Figs. 2l and 22 an embodiment of this invention especially useful in connection with knife blade fuses is shown. The principal difierence between this and the other types illustrated and described lies in the combination switch and fuse holding blade. In this embodiment the switch and fuse holding blade |50 which is formed from some conducting material such as copper is secured to a ridge |52 of the supporting means 21 by cotter keys |54. Ridges |56 are provided on the internal sides of the switch blade to make line contact with the knife blade terminal |58 of a fuse |59 which is shown inserted in the blades. The ends of the blades |50 are provided with enlarged portions |60 to facilitato the insertion oi' the knife blade fuse. The insertion of such a blade into the receiving contacts $8 is facilitated by humps |52 which may be formed integral with the contact supporting base IB. This form of the device is used in the same manner as the other form shown except that the fuse is not inserted end ilrst but merely inserted in the blades as in conventional knife blade fuse clips.

Thus it can be seen that our invention is adaptable to many different requirements and combinations of apparatus. The desirable objects previously set forth are achieved by our invention and because of the unique construction employed it is possible to dispense with many of the parts previously used in such devices and yet provide a device which insures of satisfactory operation with a minimum of contact heating.

While we have shown but several embodiments of our invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, additions and omissions may be made in the apparatus described without departing from the spirit and scope of our invention as set forth in the appended claims.
