3/--- 37 26' /z a/ 4i /3 REMOTE LIGHT-SWITCHING APPARATUS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a new and improved light switch actuating apparatus for manually switching a light switch toggle to either an on or off position from a remote location, such as a position beneath a light switch mounted in a wall.
2. Description of the Prior Art The prior art includes various devices for switching a light switch from a remote location below the switch such as devices of the type disclosed by Devall, U.S. Pat. No. 3,339,051; Coletta, U.S. Pat. No. 2,724,032; Mikolajeski, U.S. Pat. No. 3,004,128; Jones, U.S. Pat. No. 2,919,334; Fullerton, U.S. Pat. No. 3,188,439; Sander, U.S. Pat. No. 3,121,778; Craig, U.S. Pat. No. 3,175,420; and Meistrell, U.S. Pat. No. 2,668,456. These patents disclose devices of varying complexity, all of which are provided for raising and lowering the external toggle end of a pivoted light switch that is normally flush mounted in a wall with the toggle projecting from a switch box cover plate. While these patents disclose various devices for actuating a wall switch from a position directly therebelow, such as by a child or other person unable to reach the elevation of a wall mounted light switch, such prior art devices are relatively complicated and difficult to manufacture and maintain and do not furnish the simplicity of structure and manufacture represented by applicants remote light switching apparatus.
SUMMARY The present invention comprises a new and improved lightswitching actuating apparatus for remote operation of a light switch which is relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture and which can be quickly and easily installed or removed from an ordinary light switch cover plate, without requiring any change or modification in the toggle switch or cover plate and without marring or damaging such toggle switch or removing the cover plate from the switch box.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved remote actuating device for operating a light switch mounted in a wall and including a wire loop or bail slidably mounted in a housing adapted to be positioned on the toggle switch and a rigid pull rod pivotally connected to said wire bail and depending therefrom for manual operation of the toggle switch from a position immediately therebelow.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved toggle switch actuator for remote actuation of a light switch mounted in a wall including a rigid actuator rod and means slidably mounted in a housing attached to the light switch cover plate for engaging the toggle switch near its outer end for moving said toggle switch to off and on" positions.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. I is an isometric view showing the apparatus of the present invention mounted on a light switch cover plate with the actuating rod extending therebelow;
FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 22 of FIG. 1 showing details of construction of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is an isometric view partially broken away showing the means for connecting the push rod to the toggle switch;
FIG. 4 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 4-4 of FIG. 1 showing the apparatus of the present invention connected to a toggle switch, and
FIG. 5 is an isometric view of the bail for connecting the actuating rod to the light switch toggle.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The apparatus of the present invention designated generally A in the drawings includes a rigid actuating rod R having a wire loop or bail B mounted at its upper end for connecting such rod R to a toggle switch T. The bail B is slidably mounted in a housing 1-] that guides the bail vertically upwardly and downwardly as the actuating rod R is pushed or pulled, respectively.
As shown, the housing H comprises a longitudinally extending body having longitudinally extending sides 12 and 13 connected by a front 14 with a longitudinally extending slot or opening 17 formed therein for receiving the upper end of the rod R and the toggle switch T.
Such slot is open at the bottom end but is closed at the upper end by the top 18. Such housing H is secured to the switch box 24 recessed in the wall 26 by means of an upper screw 27 that extends through the face plate 29 and by means of a clip 31 that is secured to the box 24 by means of a screw 33.
As best seen in FIGS. 2 and 3 of the drawings the clip 31 comprises a U-shaped member having a flat base 34 that is parallel to the cover plate 29 and which has a pair of sides 35 extending outwardly from opposite edges of such base with laterally projecting rims or flanges 37 that are disposed generally parallel to the base 34 and which project laterally outwardly from the upstanding members 35. Such flanges 37 are adapted to be received in longitudinally extending grooves or slots 40 which are provided in the opposite sides 12 and 13 of the longitudinally extending body H.
The actuating rod R preferably comprises a tubular member formed of plastic or aluminum or other suitable lightweight material. Such rod is provided with a pair of diametrically opposed holes or openings 41 for receiving the ends of the bail B. As best seen in FIGS, 3 and 5 of the drawings the bail B comprises a pair of longitudinally extending parallel side members 42 having the lower ends 43 thereof bent or turned inwardly facing each other. The upper ends of the sides 42 are bent or turned inwardly to provide inwardly extending top portions 44 which are bent laterally to form U-shaped loop 45 which is disposed at generally right angles with respect to the plane in which the parallel side members 42 are disposed. Such loop 45 extends transversly across the top of the toggle switch T and also extends toward the front of the cover plate 29 so as to engage toggle switches of varying shapes and sizes. The side members 42 are disposed on opposite sides of such toggle switch T and extend downwardly therebelow. The upper end 47 of the rod R terminates below the toggle switch T so that such toggle switch is inserted into the bail B above the upper end ofthe rod R.
The longitudinally extending side members 42 are received in longitudinally extending grooves 48 which are formed in the sides 12 and 13 of the housing H.
In using or operating the apparatus A of the present invention, the bracket or clip 31 is connected to the switch box cover plate 29 by means of the screw 33. With the lower end portions 43 of the bail B inserted into the openings 41 near the upper end of the rod R, the bail B is inserted into the longitudinally extending slots 48. With the rod R extending out of the lower end of the housing H, the loop 45 is hung over the upper end of the toggle switch T and the housing H secured on such switch plate 29 by inserting the flange edges 37 of the clip 31 into the grooves 40 and then inserting the upper screw 27 through the upper end of the housing H above the bail B and connecting such screw to the switch in the switch box 24.
With the rod R extending downwardly below the bottom of the housing 1-1 and with the upper end of such rod connected to the toggle switch T by means of the bail B, the light switch or toggle switch T may be moved upwardly or downwardly by alternately pushing or pulling the rod R. It will be appreciated that a downward pull on the rod R when the toggle switch T is in the upward position as shown in FIG. 3 of the drawings will cause the upper loop 45 on the bail B to engage the upper surface of the toggle switch T and pull such toggle switch into a downward position thereby moving the switch to the off" position. Thereafter should it be desired to reverse the position of the toggle switch T an upward push on the rod R will cause the upper end 47 of such rod to engage the lower surface of the toggle switch upwardly into the position shown in FIG. 3 of the drawing, then turning the switch on."
The foregoing disclosure and description of the invention are illustrative and explanatory thereof, and various changes in size, shape, and materials as well as in the details of the illustrated construction may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
