Abstract

The supplementary switching has four contacts (a,b,c,d) two of which are inverted relative to the other two. Four electrical linkages (1,2,3,4) connect the ends of the contacts in pairs (a,d), (b,c), (a,b), (c,d). Four terminals (A,B,C,D) are individually connected to each electrical connection. A two position switch mechanism (I) acts on the contacts to simultaneously connect and disconnect pairs. The switch mechanism has an assistance mechanism when manually operated to ensure sharp action. The four contacts (a,b,c,d) are bridged by the switch to connect input pairs to output pairs, with one position the inverse of the other.

Description

Interrupteurs supplémentaires pour
montages en "va-et-vient"
Cette invention permet de rajouter un nombre quelconque d'interrupteurs dans un circuit d'éclairage électrique en "va-et-vient".
Additional switches for
back-and-forth arrangements
This invention allows any number of switches to be added to a back-and-forth electrical lighting circuit.

Dans un montage en "va-et-vient" avec des interrupteurs traditionnels, on est limité à deux points de commande. La seule solution pour en augmenter le nombre nécéssite, l'utilisation de boutons poussoirs associés a un télérupteur. In a back-and-forth arrangement with traditional switches, one is limited to two control points. The only solution to increase the number required, the use of push buttons associated with a remote control switch.

La difficulté de mise en oeuvre et le prix des télérupteurs ne justifient leur utilisation que dans les instalations importantes. L'utilisation des poussoirs n'est par ailleurs pas toujours appréciez par les particuliers.The difficulty of implementation and the price of the remote control switches justify their use only in large installations. The use of pushers is also not always appreciated by individuals.

L'interrupteur supplémentaire ouvre la possibilité de réaliser des instalations qui permettent d'allumer ou d'éteindre l'éclairage a partir de n'importe quel interrupteur. quelque en soit leur nombre. Il se comporte comme un inversseur d'entrées ou cl dss sorties et assure l'allumage ou l'extinction bien qu'il laisse passer le courant par l'une ou l'autre de ses sorties. En fait il redirige le courant sur le dernier contact qui est passant
La situation d'origine est, chaque fois que l'on en fait basculer un. inversée.
The additional switch opens the possibility of making installations that allow the lighting to be switched on or off from any switch. whatever their number. It behaves like an input or output switch and ensures switching on or off although it lets current flow through one or other of its outputs. In fact it redirects the current to the last contact which is passing
The original situation is, each time we tip one over. reversed.

l'appareil comporte quatre contacts électriques. Deux de ces contacts sont ouverts et les deux autres sont fermés. the device has four electrical contacts. Two of these contacts are open and the other two are closed.

En actionnant mannuellement la bascule de l'interrupteur, les contacts fermés s'ouvrent et simultanément. les contacts ouverts se ferment. Cette inversion est cyclique: quand deux contacts sont ouverts.les deux autres sont fermés et vice ~versa Les contacts sont pontés en serie en faisant alterner les contacts ouverts et les contacts fermes. L'entrée du premier contact se boucle avec la sortie du dernier. By manually actuating the rocker of the switch, the closed contacts open and simultaneously. open contacts close. This reversal is cyclical: when two contacts are open. The other two are closed and vice versa. The contacts are bridged in series by alternating the open contacts and the closed contacts. The entry of the first contact is looped with the exit of the last.

Chaque pontage qui relie les contacts possede une borne de connection pour raccorder l'appareil au circuit d'éclairage. Each jumper that connects the contacts has a connection terminal to connect the device to the lighting circuit.

Ainsi. suivant la position de l'lnterrupteur.sl 1 'on veille lors du branchement a ne pas court-circuiter les contacts, le courant passe directement par le contact sur lequel il arrive ou Si ce contact est ouvert, il passe par pontage a travers le contact ferme dont la sortie est reliee à l'autre contact ouvert. Dans un cas il y à donc bien un passage direct du courant et dans l'autre. un passage par inversion des sorties.So. depending on the position of the switch.sl 1 'during the connection, care is taken not to short-circuit the contacts, current flows directly through the contact on which it arrives or If this contact is open, it goes by bridging through the closed contact, the output of which is connected to the other open contact. In one case there is therefore a direct current flow and in the other. a passage by inversion of the outputs.

En refrerence avec la figure 1. le dispositif comporte quatre bornes de connection par cable électrique (A.B.C.D).  In reference to Figure 1. the device has four connection terminals by electric cable (A.B.C.D).

quatre contacts électriques (a,b.c.d). quatre pontages électriques (1.2.3.4). et une commande manuelle a deux positions (I). four electrical contacts (a, b.c.d). four electric bridges (1.2.3.4). and a two-position manual control (I).

Dans la position représentée sur la figure 1. les deux contacts (a.c) sont passants et les deux autres sont ouverts. In the position shown in Figure 1. the two contacts (a.c) are on and the other two are open.

Chaque borne est individuellement connectée par pontage soit a l'entrée. soit à la sortie de deux contacts qui sont en position inverse. La borne "A" est raccordée a l'entrée des contacts "a" et "d". La borne "B" est raccordée a l'entrée des contacts "b" et "c". La borne "C" est raccordee å la sortie des contacts "a" et "b". La borne "D" est raccordée a la sortie des contacts "c" et "d". Cet appareil est réversible. On peut aussi bien inverser les entrée et les sortie sans chanter ie fonctionnement. S1 les bornes "A" et "B" sont en entrée. le courant passe. dans un cas. par le contact "a" et ressort suri a borne "C".S'il arrive sur la borne "B" le courant ressort par la borne "L) En actionnant la commande (I) simultanement les contacts rermes s'ouvrent et les contacts ouverts se ferment: Le courant qui arrive sur "A" ressort sur la borne "D" s'il arrive sur la borne "B". il ressert sur ia borne "C". Les sorties se sont inverses.Each terminal is individually connected by bridging or at the input. either at the output of two contacts which are in reverse position. Terminal "A" is connected to the input of contacts "a" and "d". Terminal "B" is connected to the input of contacts "b" and "c". Terminal "C" is connected to the output of contacts "a" and "b". Terminal "D" is connected to the output of contacts "c" and "d". This device is reversible. You can also reverse the inputs and outputs without changing the operation. S1 terminals "A" and "B" are input. the current flows. in one case. by the contact "a" and spring suri has terminal "C". If it arrives on the terminal "B" the current leaves by the terminal "L) By actuating the control (I) simultaneously the closed contacts open and the open contacts close: The current which arrives on "A" leaves on the terminal "D" if it arrives on the terminal "B". it re-connects on the terminal "C". The outputs are reversed.

En reference avec les figures 2,3.4. le dispositif selon l'invention 1B) se raccorde entre deux interrupteurs traditionnels pour "va-et-vient" (A.C) Les trois interrupteurs sont en position "0" L'eclairage (L) est allume (L=1). . La commutation de l'un de ces interrupteurs (position "1" et les deu: autre restent en position "() : le courant ne passe plus. l'éclairage est éteint (L=C . S1 l'on actionne l'un des trois interrupteurs a nouveau le courant revient. (L=1) et ainsi de suite..L'équation du schéma donne: L = ABC + ABC + ABC + ABC
Si on développe cette équation:
L = (A. (BC + BC)+ BC > + A). B.(A + AC)+ B).(C.(AB + BA)+ C >
L'équation de la forme AB + AB carracterlse le fonctionnement de deux interrupteurs en 'va-et-vient". Il est clair que quand un interrupteur est passant. les deux autres se mettent en "va-et lent'
En réference avec la figure 5. trois interrupteurs supplémentaires (B.C.D) s'intercallent entre deux interrupteurs traditionnels pour "va-et-vient" (A,E). Ils sont branchés les uns a la suite des autres et reliés entre eux par deux cables électriques.Deux interrupteurs (B.C) sont montes tête-beche ce montre bien la reversililité de l'appareil. les sorties de l'interrupteur "B" sont pontées selon une variante de l'interrupteur "D". En effet. les contacts "d2" et "d3" sont permmutés. Le principe du schéma de ces appareils ne s'en trouve néanmoins pas modifié et le tonctionnement reste identique. La table de verite de la figure 5 n est pas ici representée. Il est clair cependant que ce schema fonctionne en "va-et-vient" une lnstalation avec encore plus d'interrupteurs supplementaires fonctionner?it tout aussi bien.
With reference to Figures 2,3.4. the device according to the invention 1B) is connected between two traditional switches for "back and forth" (AC) The three switches are in position "0" The lighting (L) is on (L = 1). . The switching of one of these switches (position "1" and the two: the other remain in position "(): the current no longer flows. The lighting is off (L = C. S1 one activates of the three switches again the current returns. (L = 1) and so on ... The equation of the diagram gives: L = ABC + ABC + ABC + ABC
If we develop this equation:
L = (A. (BC + BC) + BC> + A). B. (A + AC) + B). (C. (AB + BA) + C>
The equation of the form AB + AB characterizes the operation of two switches in 'back and forth'. It is clear that when a switch is on. The other two are put in 'back and forth'
In reference to Figure 5. three additional switches (BCD) are inserted between two traditional switches for "back and forth" (A, E). They are connected one after the other and connected to each other by two electric cables. Two switches (BC) are mounted head-to-head, which clearly shows the reversibility of the device. the outputs of switch "B" are bridged according to a variant of switch "D". Indeed. contacts "d2" and "d3" are swapped. The principle of the diagram of these devices is not however modified and the operation remains identical. The truth table in Figure 5 is not shown here. It is clear, however, that this scheme works in a back-and-forth arrangement with even more additional switches working just as well.

L'appareil selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné. The apparatus according to the invention is particularly intended.

pour un usage dommestique ou industriel. a l'instalation d'eclairaqes électrique en "va-et-vient" comportant plus de deux points de commande par interrupteurs. for harmful or industrial use. when installing back-and-forth electric lighting comprising more than two control points by switches.
