Definitions
- This invention relates to an electrical switched arrangement, specifically a switch/socket combination or general purpose outlet.
- the invention includes an electrical switching arrangement comprising a body incorporating a plug member which is adapted to be received into a general purpose electrical outlet, an outlet which corresponds to the general purpose outlet to which the device can be connected whereby an electrical appliance can be connected thereto, switching means which can be actuated at a distance therefrom and which controls the electrical connection between the plug and the outlet.
- the switching means may be by means of a cable connected to the body and having at its free end a switch.
- the switch may be directly connected in circuit with the remainder of the circuit, it can operate a relay or the like which relay is in the circuit or it can operate an electronic switch which causes the circuit to switch.
- the remote switch could be in the form of an IR or RF device which can operate an appropriate receiver on the body of the unit.
- Fig 1 is a schematic view of a first form of switched arrangement of the invention.
- Fig 2 is a schematic view of a second form of switched arrangement
- Fig 3 is a schematic view of a third form of switched arrangement.
- Fig 4 is a schematic view of a fourth form of switched arrangement of the invention.
- the device has a body 10 which can be of injection moulded plastics material and which has on one side thereof extending pins 11 to cooperate with a power outlet; in Australia normally these would be either two angled pins or two angled pins and a straight earth pin, depending upon an earthed or non-earthed arrangement as required.
- a power outlet in Australia normally these would be either two angled pins or two angled pins and a straight earth pin, depending upon an earthed or non-earthed arrangement as required.
- the form of pins for other countries would conform with the requirements of the country.
- Also on the body preferably on the side opposite the pins there can be a conventional outlet or socket 12 which would have a formation to be complimentary with that of the pins of the appliance.
- the outlet would preferably be on the side of the body opposite the plug but could be on an end of the body or, if required, two outlets could be provided on opposite ends of the body.
- the pins 11 and the socket 12 are electrically interconnected with an interposed switch means.
- the switch which will be described can either be a single-pole switch in the active conductor or could be a double-pole switch switching both conductors.
- the device if the device is positioned in a general purpose outlet it provides a general purpose outlet which is switched, with the switch being operable remotely from the device.
- the switch may be of a number of types but in the simplest case there can be a flexible conductor 13 having two or four conducting members, depending upon the switching required, whether the switch is to be single or double pole, and these can terminate at a switch-box21 incorporating a switch mechanism and an extending switch rocker or the like 22 which can be located remotely from the body of the device at a distance equivalent to the length of the conductors 13.
- the switch-box can have a mechanical switch which can be a single pole or double-pole switch, depending upon the requirements and thus when the outlet 12 on the body is required to operate, it is only necessary to move the switch rocker 22 from an inoperative, open circuit, condition to an operative, closed circuit condition. Whilst in this specification, reference is made to a switch rocker 22, this terms is used in a generic sense to incorporate any form of means of operating a switch mechanism.
- the device In its form of the arrangement the device is plugged into the outlet and the appliance, or appliances by way of a power-board or piggy-back plugs, are connected thereto.
- Fig 2 The embodiment of Fig 2 is generally similar in operation to that of Fig 1 except in this case the outlet 12 is located in an enclosure 30 which is separate from the plug 31 which carries the pins 11 , the connection between the plug 31 and the socket 12 is by a conductor 32.
- the switching mechanism is located in the enclosure 21 and there is a rocker 22 or the like extending therethrough.
- the electrical operation is identical to the previous embodiment with the exception that the plug 31 and its pins 11 feed power to the outlet 12 by way of conductors 32.
- Fig 3 The embodiment of Fig 3 is similar to that of Fig 2 except that the conductors 13 from the switch 21 are connected into the plug 31 in which switching takes place and the power is connected to the outlet 12 by way of conductors 32 to the plug 30.
- the switch is thus connected close to the pins11and the conductors 33 are switched. This differs from the second embodiment where the conductors 32 are not switched.
- the plug body 31 it is possible for the plug body 31 to be made of two components 31 a and 31b which are cylindrical and co-axial and are arranged to be able to be relatively rotated.
- the pins and the switch conductors 13 are located in part 31a and the conductor 32 sending the power to the outlets 12 are connected to part 31b.
- the two parts are provided with wiping contacts, which are known in the art which permit the power to be transferred to component 31b from 31a. This enables the outlet 30" to be located as desired relative to the power source.
- Fig 3 there are shown a number of outlets 12 in a box 30 and It is to be understood that this such a multiple outlet could be used with the other embodiments. This would make the device particularly suitable for such applications as computers where there are normally three or more components connected to the power.
- the switch could be used to operate a relay or an electronic switching circuit which themselves carry the load current of the device.
- the invention can be associated with any form of outlet, whether with two three or even four conductors with any connection pin formation.
- the device of the invention can have any of the features which are found in various power boards and outlets, for example surge protectors, conventional fusing, indicator light (or lights).
