摘要:
A roll or tilt responsive switch includes a housing formed from an electrically conductive material and having an inclined face formed on the bottom to gradually rise concentrically outwardly substantially from the center of the bottom, and a header fixed to the housing to close its open end and having a through-aperture in which a terminal pin is fixed in an insulated relation. A contact is fixed to an end of the terminal pin located inside the housing and has a plurality of feather portions each having a predetermined elasticity and disposed concentrically with the terminal pin. An inertia ball is enclosed in the housing to be located substantially at the center in the housing in a normal position of the switch in a stationary state. The inertia ball rolls when subjected to oscillations, so that the inertia ball slides on the feather portions of the contact except for distal ends of the feather portions such that the inertia ball electrically conducts between the contact and the housing and such that the feather portions are elastically deformed, thereby receiving a force pushing the inertia ball against the bottom of the housing.

A seismosensitive element includes a housing formed from an electrically conductive material and having an inclined face formed on the bottom thereof to gradually rise concentrically outwardly substantially from a center of the inner bottom face, and a header fixed to the housing to close its open end and having through-aperture in which an electrically conductive terminal pin is fixed in an insulated relation. A contact is fixed an end of the terminal pin located inside the housing and has a plurality of feather portions disposed concentrically with the terminal pin, the feather portions having a predetermined elasticity. An inertia ball is enclosed in the housing to be located substantially at the center in the housing in a normal position of the element in a stationary state. The inertia ball rolls when subjected to oscillation, so that the inertia ball slides on the feather portions of the contact except for distal ends of the feather portions such that the inertia ball electrically conducts between the contact and the housing and such that the feather portions are elastically deformed, thereby receiving a force causing the same to be pushed against the bottom of the housing. An acceleration responsive switch includes a receptacle including a housing having a conical face, an inertial ball in the receptacle, and an oscillation damping liquid in the receptacle. The oscillation damping liquid has a viscosity such that the inertial ball terminates rotation when it is subjected to an external oscillation to be rotated.

An acceleration responsive switch includes a receptacle including a housing having a conical face on an inner bottom face and a header fixed to the housing to close an open end of the housing, a lead terminal fixed in a through-aperture of the header, a contact member secured to an end of the lead terminal located in the housing and including a plurality of feather portions arranged radially to be approximately concentric with the housing, an electrically conductive inertia ball enclosed in the closed receptacle so as to be capable of rolling on the inner bottom face of the housing, a plurality of protrusions formed an inner peripheral wall of the housing, an oscillation damping liquid contained in the receptacle and having a viscosity suitable to apply resistance to the inertia ball so that the inertia ball terminates its rotation when the inertia ball is subjected to an external oscillation to be rotated. When subjected to acceleration, the inertia ball rolls to come into contact with one or more of the feather portions of the contact member so that it electrically conducts between the feather portions and the housing. The inertia ball in a rotational motion collides against the protrusion, changing the course of its movement.

A protecting device for a car air conditioner includes a timer for timing a period of the rise in the level of a rotation signal delivered from a rotation sensor for detecting a rotational speed of a compressor with the signal being distinguished from noise. On the basis of the obtained period, a judgment is made as to whether rotation of the compressor is in an abnormal state. An electromagnetic clutch between the compressor and a car engine is controlled on the basis of the judgment. The protecting device is mounted on a housing of the compressor with the rotation sensor so that wiring is executed only in an engine room. The protecting device includes a state holding device for memorizing the abnormal state of the rotation of the compressor. The air conditioner can restart on condition that a conscious operation is performed to reset the state holding device.

A thermally responsive switch includes an elliptic dome-shaped metal receptacle, a header metal plate hermetically secured to the receptacle and having a through-aperture at one of two longitudinal ends, an electrical conductor inserted through the aperture of the header plate and secured with an electrically insulating material such as glass, a support having at one of two longitudinal ends a fixed portion secured to the end of the conductor in the receptacle and a supporting portion positioned away from its other end in the direction of the fixed portion, a bimetal secured at one of its two ends to the supporting portion of the support and carrying a movable contact at the other end, the bimetal having a central shallow dish-shaped portion reversing its curvature with a snap action in response to the temperature, a fixed contact secured to the header plate in the vicinity of its other longitudinal end, and a calibrator interposed between the inner wall of the receptacle and the other end of the support opposing the movable contact. The calibrator is moved, pushing the other end of the support when the receptacle wall corresponding to the calibrator is deformed for calibration of an operating temperature of the switch, so that the support is bent in the vincity of the fixed portion such that a contact pressure between the movable and fixed contacts is varied.

A fixing method and assembly of a temperature responsive element capable of detecting variation in temperature of discharge cooling medium of a compressor exactly and rapidly and preventing the compressor from being burned. A through hole is formed in a cover 6 which covers a path 7B for discharge cooling medium of the compressor. A plug 9 is fixed to the through hole from the side of the path by a fixing member 13. In this case, it is sealed airtightly by means of a packing. Lead terminal pins penetrating the plug 9 is insulatively fixed in the plug airtightly. Leads are connected to one ends of the lead terminal pins projecting outside and the temperature responsive clement 8 is connected to the other ends of the lead terminal pins projecting on the side of the discharge path. The temperature responsive clement 8 is disposed not to come into direct contact with a vessel and the cover 6 of the compressor and is exposed to discharge cooling medium as a whole. Consequently, the temperature responsive element can detect a temperature of the discharge cooling medium exactly and rapidly without influence of external disturbance such as heat from the outside and a path 7A for suction cooling medium.
