摘要： A rocker-type electrical switch of the kind known as a "quiet switch" includes a manually depressible rocker having two opposed contact surfaces at a small angle to each other from rocker depends a rocker arm terminating in a rocker cam. A slider positioned intermediately of the rocker and the rocker cam is moved back and forth by side-to-side movements of the rocker arm and opens and closes one or more pairs of contacts. Rocker is controlled by a rocker cam leaf spring engaging the rocker cam which spring has a cammed profile traversed by the rocker cam to slow the switch, lock the rocker and provide other desirable effects. The rocker cam spring is housed in a spring chamber longer than itself, allowing the rocker cam spring to float.

摘要： An insulating contact holder (26) is reciprocally movable in sliding engagement between flexible stationary contacts (22, 24) to interrupt the circuit therebetween in one position of the holder and to carry a contact (32) into bridging engagement with said stationary contacts in another position of the holder. A wedge formation (40) on the holder separates the stationary contacts a predetermined distance in the circuit interrupting position, and movement therefrom to the bridging position causes said stationary contacts (22, 24) to converge immediately prior to engagement by the bridging contact (32), thereby to relieve the bias in the stationary contacts prior to said bridging engagement to reduce contact bounce. The wedge surfaces (42) are provided with a matte surface for cleaning the stationary contacts.

摘要： A plastic switch actuator is fitted with a spring so as to impart sliding and rocking motion to a movable contact by virtue of direct engagement between spring and element. The actuator has a depending integral portion received in an opening of the element but it is the spring which keeps the element in contact with the fixed switch contacts. Other embodiments provide for a switch actuator having a movable contact element capable of retention in a "center-off" position wherein the movable contact is held in a stable "off" position in contact with only the center contact. The movable element is readily moved by the depending actuator portion through joint action by the actuator and the spring provided on said actuator.

摘要： An AC switch mechanism utilizes a ball contact to which generally linear motion is imparted by a rockable actuator having a spring providing downward contact force and a spring acting ball pusher leg to provide a snap action. In a single pole configuration disclosed as a typical and basic embodiment of the switch, the ball contact in one extreme position engages and extends as a conductive bridging element between bared conductor wires of an electric cable. The cable thus dispenses with the need for assembling separately made switch terminals with the other components of the mechanism. When moved from the "on" position to its other extreme, "off" position, the ball moves onto sloping ramps having a slight, gradual inclination relative to the lengths of the conductor wires. The construction offers a slow break to provide a minimum arc length before the zero point of the AC cycle, a characteristic of great importance in the design and operation of AC switches. Further benefits are obtained by providing a simultaneous two-point break to divide the arc and therefore reduce the arc's outward extension and tracking of the adjacent areas. The design is additionally effective to produce a fast bounce, free make to minimize contact deterioration caused by arcing at the "make" point of the switching cycle. The need for silver alloy contacts is eliminated by providing a continuously moving point of arc termination which cools the contact surface, minimizing the volume of vaporized material, and condenses out the copper vapor during the zero point of the half cycle.

摘要翻译： AC开关机构使用球接触器，通过具有提供向下接触力的弹簧的可摇动致动器和弹簧作用球推动器腿来提供大致直线运动以提供快动作用。 在作为开关的典型和基本实施例公开的单极配置中，一个极限位置中的球接触在电缆​​的裸露导线之间接合并延伸为导电桥接元件。 因此，电缆不需要将单独制造的开关端子与机构的其它部件组装在一起。 当从“开”位置移动到另一个极限“关”位置时，球移动到相对于导线长度稍微逐渐倾斜的斜坡上。 该结构提供了一个缓慢的中断，在交流循环的零点之前提供最小的电弧长度，这在交流开关的设计和操作中非常重要。 通过提供同时两点断点来分割电弧并因此减小电弧向外延伸和相邻区域的跟踪而获得进一步的益处。 该设计另外有效地产生快速反弹，免除使最小化在切换周期的“制造”点的电弧引起的接触劣化。 通过提供冷却接触表面的电弧终止的连续移动点，使蒸发的材料的体积最小化并在半周期的零点期间冷凝出铜蒸汽，消除了对银合金触点的需要。

摘要： A switch construction including opposed contacts positioned on a base and a bridging sliding contactor slidable between different switch positions. The design of the contacts on the base includes an upper section that defines a first surface engageable by a tab formed on the sliding contactor, and second surface blade portions which provide engagement with wing sections defined on opposite sides of a tab section formed on the sliding contactor. Resilient means press the sliding contactor against this upper section in a fashion such that the wing sections slide over the second surface portions and the tab section engages the first surface portions. The separate engagement of the tab and wing sections provide separate available current paths for the switch; and since either the tab or the wing sections may engage the contact first, arcing is confined to this initial contact area during switch closure. The other section may then act as an inclined plane during switch closure to help lift off the arcing section away from the initial contact area after arcing occurs. The section that is engaged in the maintained state of the switch is thus a clean contact area at which no arcing has occurred. Similarly, upon opening of the switch circuit the initial contact point is also the last point of the sliding contactor that contacts the stationary contact, and thus arcing is again confined to this area.

摘要： A rocker action switch is disclosed of dip configuration to be pluggably mounted in a printed circuit board or mounted to a panel with clips. A carriage having bridging contacts is slidably displaced within the housing to selectively engage the bridging contacts with selected switch poles. A pivotable control knob has a projecting lever that engages and slidably actuates the carriage. The switch may be constructed with interchangeable parts to perform various switching functions such as momentary, double-pole single-throw or double-pole double-throw with positive detent action. Assembly of the switch is simplified by vertically stacking the component parts within the housing.

摘要： A slide switch designed for snap action operation thereof having a pivoted rocker arm engaging flexible elements of the insulated slide member of the switch. These flexible elements are formed of material, preferably such as moldable plastic, which has the inherent elastical power of recovering its initially produced durable shape when a deforming force or pressure causing it to be temporarily deformed is removed. The insulated slide member is provided with upwardly projecting lugs which embrace therebetween the pivoted lever arm by which they are outwardly deflected to store up energy for the snap action of the switch. While the free end of the pivoted lever arm is preferably bifurcated to provide it with flexible extremities which are flexed inwardly simultaneously as the slide lugs are outwardly deflected whereby to augment the snap actuating energy stored up by the flexed lugs of the slide member, the lever arm may be formed as a solid member so that the requisite energy is obtained solely by the flexure of the slide lugs.

摘要： The present invention relates to a double-throw double-pole switch the design of which requires but a minimum number of parts and a minimum requirement for fasteners, adhesives and the like thereby facilitating ease in manufacture. The switch is additionally well adapted for miniaturization in the form of a microelectronic component known as dual-in-line package (DIP). The poles of the switch are in the form of electrical contacts aligned to provide the well-known opposed pairs of electrical leads for the DIP. A lever or cam for actuating the switch is assembled without the need for conventional fasteners, such as screws or adhesives and the like, thereby permitting rapid manufacture of the switch without the time consumption and skill otherwise required for assembly using such conventional fasteners.
