Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical mechanism devised for its application in low voltage systems such as a three-way switch, provided with a light device, essentially characterized in that it is provided with a series of elements which permit the quick connection of the conductors related thereto, elements which are characterized both by their structure as well as by the manner of placement and application, also being characteristic of said mechanism the arrangement of the base and the permanent coupling with its cover, once the components have been arranged in the interior thereof. All of this will be described in detail over the course of the present specification.
  • One of the basic special features of the electrical mechanisms which are used in low voltage systems, generally domestic or in small shops, offices or such like, is that of facilitating the work of the installer as much as possible by means of the presentation of these mechanisms (switches, buttons, etc.) equipped with devices which permit them to carry out, in the wiring process of the assembly, the quick connection of the electrical conductors which come in contact with the mechanism, both at the intake and outlet, thereby guaranteeing that this connection will be sufficient and permanent, establishing the electrical contact necessary and preventing an accidental detachment of the conductor, which will remain in this stable position.
  • the mechanism object of the present invention offers advantages which meet the previously detailed requirements, as it is equipped with a series of suitable components to carry out this quick connection, the mechanism being complemented with the suitable arrangement of already known components, essential to complete said mechanism.
  • Another essential characteristic of the three-way switch object of this invention is to feature a variant, based on the positioning of the two groups of two knife-type contacts which is provided, specifically in its positioning, the separation of the two contacts grouped in the front part of the mechanism being smaller than that in the normal position. This forces the variation of the inner shape of the base, in this variant of embodiment.
  • the electrical mechanism with three-way switch and light and additionally provided with a quick connection device is constituted by a base -1-, the lower part whereof adopting the characteristic V-shape, with the purpose of leaving more space for the wiring of the assembly, and whereon the facing sides whereof are placed connection keys -2-, both situated on housings -3- located on the outer part of the aforementioned base -1-.
  • the assembly or group of contacts is situated in the interior of said base -1-.
  • the contacts grouped two by two, are known as the so-called type "knife" type -4- and -4a-, open at their front face with a vertical aperture -7-, similar to two facing knives, wherein the end of the conductor wire -19- being connected is held.
  • knife contacts -4- are solidly joined at their lower part with the usual and known connections -5- for a three-way application.
  • the two pairs of knife contacts -4- and -4a- are situated facing each other, each pair in a half area opposing the base -1-, all of them being located in housings -6- delimited by small partitions situated in the interior of the base -1-. All of these knife contacts will remain thus positioned, the aperture -7- being situated outwards, specifically towards the bottom of the housings - 3- of the quick connection keys.
  • This already known contact assembly is completed, thereby making their operation possible, by two moving contacts -8- which rest their base on the bottom in a V-shape of the connections -5- which solidly join to the knife contacts -4- and -4a-, so that they can swing when they are pushed by their respective cylindrical springs -9-, components situated inside of each one of the two lower towers -10- of the known swinging element -11-, which will be actuated by the exterior push button, not represented in the drawings, and which causes the operation of this assembly of contacts, corresponding to the three-way switch application.
  • the cover -12- closes the assembly of the mechanism in this variant which is attached on the base -1-, as drawn in figs. 4 and 5 , being held shut by the action of four teeth -13-, which are part of said base -1- on its upper edges corresponding to the sides where the knife contacts -4- and -4a- are positioned and which fit into the slots - 14- of the cover -12- on the inner edge of its upper face. It is clear that the closure of the cover -12- on the base -1- is performed solely when all of the components of the mechanism (knife contacts, group of contacts, springs, etc.) have been previously placed inside the base -1-.
  • This cover -12- whereon the sides -15- whereof are supported the lateral pivots -11a- of the swinging element -11-, has in its interior the apertures necessary -16- for the passage towards the interior of lower towers -10- which have the aforementioned swinging element -11-, in direction towards the moving contacts -8-.
  • connection keys -2- is provided, in their rear end, with two cylindrical pins -17-, axial in the direction of an imaginary transversal axis, which allow said connection key -2- to be positioned on the side of the base -1-, these pins -17- fitting into the interior of semi-cylindrical seats -18- of the base -1- in the sides of the corresponding aperture -3- where the key -2- has to be situated.
  • connection key -2- The positioning and fastening of the connection key -2- is initiated, as can be observed in figures 3 to 5 , previously situating it in horizontal position to make it descend until the pins -17- thereof are positioned in the semi-cylindrical seats -18-. Subsequently the cover -12- is placed and then the connection key -2- is turned until reaching its initial stable position for the connection of the electrical conductor wire -19-
  • connection key -2- (see fig. 5 ), practically next to its own edge.
  • stub -24- is located inside the slot -25- in the base -1- and stub -26- (directly below stub -24- ), is located outside the edge of the base -1-.
  • connection key -2- has a cylindrical hollow -20- on its external face -21-, face provided with a suitable threading for a better grip. Inside of this cylindrical hollow -20- will be placed the end of the electrical conductor -19-, until it runs into the bottom thereof, next to the interior face -22- of the key, face disposed in the shape of a fork and which delimits an upper aperture -23- wherein the front face of the knife contacts -4- and -4a- are situated, where the apertures -7- are.
  • Fig. 8 draws the end of the cycle, when the connection key -2- has made it to its final position, with its external face -21- inclined towards the interior of the lower part of the base -1-, position wherein said key will remain perfectly attached.
  • This attachment or fastening is carried out by the actuation of a cylindrical stub -27-, which in principle leans on the spring -28-, which is in the base -1- in the lower area of the interior face of its side walls.
  • a cylindrical stub -27- which in principle leans on the spring -28-, which is in the base -1- in the lower area of the interior face of its side walls.
  • the base -1 a- features as an essential characteristic the arrangement of the apertures -6-, where the knife contacts -4a- are housed, closer together, so these contacts will also be closer together, the assembly of connections -5a- adapting to these different distances.
  • the cover -12a- also features certain differences, specifically the arrangement of the different apertures for location of the corresponding contacts, all of them known and of normal use in similar mechanisms.
  • the swinging element -11- is situated the light emitting device -29-, also known, the contacts -30- whereof penetrating through apertures -16a- both on the cover -12- and its variant -12a-, for access towards the interior of the mechanism.
