FUSED SWITCH Filed April 6, 1960 FIG.2. 2 FIG-.l. 2 32 M /8 .22 4% 48 22 L I w 42 o LI U 0 /6 M LP 0 II I 20 iTze 92 I? -11 PIC-1.6. 4 48 INVENTOR. GEORGE J. WEBER United States Patent 3,123,692 FUSE!) SWITCH George J. Weber, Des Peres, Mo assignor to McDonnell Aircraft Corporation, t. Louis, Mo, a corporation of Maryland Filed Apr. 6, 1960, Ser. No. 2%,370 3 Glaims. (Cl. 260 114) The present invention relates generally to switches and more particularly to a fused switch construction.
Many different kinds of switches and related devices are known in the art, and some of the known devices are used in conjunction with fuses and circuit breakers. So far as is known, however, no one hereto-fore has devised a fused switch device which is designed to be safe to operate even in a highly explosive atmosphere where a spark hazard would be potentially dangerous. Furthermore, so far as known no one heretofore has devised a push type switch with an operator member that has built in fuse means, and in which installation and replacement of fuses is greatly simplified.
It is therefore a principal object of the present invention to provide a fused switch device constructed to be safely used even in an explosive atmosphere.
Another object is to provide a compact, light weight and relatively inexpensive fused switch device.
Another object is to reduce the spark hazard of switches and fuse devices.
Another object is to combine switch means and fuse means in a simple compact, light weight structure.
Another object is to simplify installation and removal of fuses even with restricted visibility of the servicing personnel.
Another object is to provide a rugged fused switch device capable of withstanding relatively severe shock and vibration, and which is not adversely affected by extremes of temperature.
Another object is to provide a push button type switch with built in fuse means.
Still another object is to provide a push operated switch having multiple operating positions.
Briefly, the present invention comprises a switch having an operating arm, movable actuator means engageable with said arm and movable between a plurality of positions in which said arm opens or closes the switch, and fuse means carried by the actuator means, said fuse means including a passage through said actuator means and a fuse slidably positioned in said passage, said fuse being replaceable in said passage by another fuse when said actuator means is in a particular one of its plurality of positions.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after considering the following detailed specification in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side-elevation view, partly in section, of a switch device constructed according to the present invention, the device being shown in inoperative position;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic wiring diagram of a typical circuit for the switch device of FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 1 showing the device in one of its operated positions;
FIG. 5 is a schematic wiring diagram corresponding to the operated position of the switch shown in FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is another View similar to FIG. 1, showing a different operated position of the device, the operator member being also shown in cross-section;
FIG. 7 is the corresponding schematic wiring diagram for the switch position shown in FIG. 6;
FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIG. 6 showing still another operated position of the device; and
FIG. 9 is the schematic wiring diagram corresponding to the switch position of FIG. 8.
Referring to the drawing by reference numbers, the number 10 refers to a switch device constructed according to the present invention. The device 10 is shown for illustrative purposes having a pair of switches, such as low travel limit switches 12 and 14, and each switch is preferably a hermetically sealed unit. Each switch has an operator arm 16 and 18 respectively which carries a roller such as the rollers 20 and 22 respectively. The rollers are biased by means on the switches into engagement with cam surfaces 24 and 26 respectively on an operator member 28.
The operator member 28 has a rounded outer surface 36 with the cam surfaces 24 and 26 formed therein, and the cam surface 24 is cooperatively engaged by the roller 2%, and the cam surface 26 by the roller 22.
In FIG. .1 the operator member 28 is shown in its inoperative or neutral position with both of the rollers 20 and 22 engaged respectively with their associated cam surfaces 24 and as. In this position both of the switches 12 and '14 are unactuated as shown in the corresponding circuit wiring diagram of FIG. 3. In the structure shown, normally open switches are employed although it is obvious that normally closed switches could also be used without changing the nature of the invention.
The switches 12 and 14 and the operator member 28 are all mounted on a bracket member or housing 32 which can be constructed having any suitable size and shape depending on where it is to be installed. The opera-tor member 28 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 32 by a shaft 34, and one side of the operator member 28 adjacent the open side of the bracket 32 is defined by a pair of spaced and substantially oppositely facing surfaces 36 and 33. The surfaces 36 and 38 are selectively pressed by the thumb or finger to operate the device by rotating the member 28.
It is also contemplated to provide means, such as the member 42, which resiliently engages the rounded surface 30 of the operator member 28 and retains the member 28 in its several operating positions.
The member 28 also has two spaced cross bores 44 and 46, one corresponding with each of the switches 12 and 14, which receive cylindrical hermetically sealed cartridge fuses 4h. The ends of the bores 44 and 46 are provided with resilient contact members 5i which grip the fuses and make electrical contact with the ends 52 thereof. The contact members 59 are also provided with means for soldering wires onto for completing a circuit for the device. In FIG. 3 a typical circuit for the device is shown which corresponds to the position of the operator member 28 in FIG. 1, the two switches 12 and 14 being shown open.
In FIG. 4 the upper surface 36 has been depressed to a position moving the switch roller 22 outwardly onto the rounded surface 30 of the operator member 23 thereby ciosing the switch 14 (FIG. 5) while the roller 20 of switch 12 continues to be in contact with its associated cam surface 24 and the switch 12 remains open. The friction of the member 42 on the operator 28 retains the switch in the new setting position and notches or detents such as detents 43 may be provided therefor, if desired.
In FIG. 6 the operator member 28 is shown in the reverse condition from FIG. 4 wherein switch 12 is closed and switch 14 is open. This is illustrated in the circuit diagram of FIG. 7.
In FIG. 8 the surface 38 of the member 28 is shown pushed still further than in FIG. 6. In this position the switches 12 and 14 are again both open (FIG. 9) because of an additional cam surface or depression 53 which is in line with the cam surface 26. When the rollers 20 and 22 are in contact with the depression 53 and 26 respectively both switches 12 and 14 are open and the ends of the fuse passages 44 and 46 are unobstructed so that new fuses can be installed and old ones ejected. Replacement of a fuse 48 is illustrated in FIG. 8. In this position the replacement fuses are installed by pushing them against the ends of the old fuses whereby the old fuses slide out of their holes. A suitable opening 54 is provided in the bracket 32 for the old fuses to fall through. Note in the construction shown and described herein that with both switches open (FIGS. 8 and 9) the fuses are dead and therefore can be replaced safely without danger of spark, or electrical shock hazards.
The particular embodiment and circuit shown and described herein is presented for illustrative purposes only. Obviously many changes can be made as in the shapes and in the number of parts. For example, the number of switches and fuses can be increased or decreased and the size and shape of the operator member correspondingly adjusted. Also normally open as well as normally closed switches can be used or even a combination of normally open and normally closed switches could be used. Still further the switches could be constructed having a greater number of transfer contacts and the cam surfaces could be formed to have different numbers of surface levels.
Thus there has been shown and described a novel fused switch device which fulfills all of the objects and advantages sought therefor. Many changes, modifications and variations of the device as illustrated by the preferred embodiment shown and described herein will become apparent to those skilled in the art after considering the specification and the accompanying drawing. All such changes, modifications and variations which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are deemed to be covered by the invention which is limited only by the claims which follow.
