摘要： The thermal circuit breaker and switch has fixed and movable contacts, and non-conductive contact and trip actuators. The movable contact is provided on the free end of a lever arm that normally biases the movable contact toward its open position. The contact actuator transfers movement from a rocker or operator to the movable contact arm when no overload condition exists. The trip actuator is L shaped and rotates in a socket when engaged by a thermally sensitive bi-metallic element so as to allow one end of the contact actuator to float freely, allowing the movable contact arm's bias to open the circuit. The bi-metallic element is so positioned as to engage and rotate the trip actuator only when the bi-metallic element is deformed due to an overheat condition that occurs with an overcurrent. A compression spring acts between the upstanding legs of the trip actuator and the underside of the rocker thus biasing the rocker to the `off` position and biasing the trip actuator to the `reset` position.

摘要： A conventional rocker switch case has a secondary pair of aligned openings to pivotably receive a uniquely configured rocker in which the lost motion spring couples the rocker to a conventional floating contact and also serves to return the rocker from one of two limit positions to the other limit position. The momentary switch thereby provided utilizes a floating contact rather than a pivotal lever type movable contact of the non-sliding variety.

摘要： The electric switch includes a molded dielectric case having an upwardly open cavity containing a movable contact operated by an operating member movably mounted to the case. Stationary terminals are mounted in the switch case bottom wall. A divider wall in the cavity forms sub-cavities which isolate the terminals. A skirt having an H-shaped cross sectional geometry separates the terminals from each other on the switch case body portion underside bottom wall. The unique nesting arrangement of the stationary terminal blade portions are confined within the switch case bottom wall periphery to allow attachment of conventional wire connectors which are crimped to the ends of relatively heavy circuit wires.

摘要： The circuit protector and switch has fixed and movable contacts. The movable contact is provided on the free end of a lever that is made in part from a bi-metallic element. Normally, this lever serves to open or close the contacts as a rocker is moved between "ON" and "OFF" positions. The rocker is biased toward its "OFF" position and has a fixed post that engages the contact lever at least in the "ON" position. The bi-metallic element changes shape to open the contacts in response to an overcurrent/overheat condition.

摘要： An electric rocker switch has a thermally responsive movable contact element that is mechanically closed against the fixed contact, but moves by bimetallic thermal action to open when an overcurrent condition exists. A trip flag also moves between the open contacts whenever the switch rocker is moved to OFF, and will remain in this position even if the rocker is held ON, if the bimetallic element has caused the flag to move between the contacts. Trip-free operation is thereby achieved. A spring acts on the trip flag to provide a positive snap action as the flag moves between the contacts. The same spring holds the rocker ON, and serves to hold the flag lightly against the movable contact in the switch ON condition.

摘要： A toggle switch has a toggle pivotably mounted in a threaded boss of the switch case. The toggle is preferably translucent so light from an internal lamp can reach the top of the toggle. A sleeve is slidably received on the toggle and has an inner end that is shaped to cooperate with an upper end of the boss to define discrete toggle positions. A spring biases the sleeve into a locked position engaging these shaped end portions.

摘要： A miniature switch case has integrally molded mounting wings adjacent the case corners. These wings pivot on axes parallel to but spaced inwardly of the corners, and recesses at the case corners provide clearance for the wings as they are moved during installation of the case into a rectangular panel opening. The miniature case also has two movable contact levers shorter than the internal length of the case cavity to provide space for a lamp, and for a resistor in circuit with the lamp.

摘要： A generally cylindrical lamp of diameter D is provided in a miniature double pole switch case of internal height only 2.times.D. The movable contact levers are shorter than the length of the switch case cavity and an internal divider wall cooperates with skirt portions of the rocker to support these levers during pivotal movement on the upper ends of the center fixed contacts. The levers are spaced apart at least approximately by the dimension D.
