Abstract: Commercially available filter-monitoring switches suffer from problems related to over sensitivity and reliability. Accordingly, the present inventors have devised, among other things, various embodiments of filter-monitoring switches and related components, subassemblies, methods, and systems. One exemplary filter-monitoring switch includes a diaphragm operably couple to move a conductive element back and forth between a pair of fixed terminals in response to pressure differences across the diaphragm. The conductive element is mounted to an insulative pin of substantially uniform width, and the terminals include leaf contacts that constantly engage the pin or the contacts throughout normal operation of the switch, thereby reducing flexure of the contacts and effectively providing a self-cleaning and self-healing electrical switch.

Abstract: The control apparatus of this invention is for controlling the operation of a mechanism in response to repeated long-term changes in fluid pressure; e.g., a fiber-conveying air stream, wherein the fluid also is subject to short-term pressure changes such as are attendant to turbulence of an air stream, for example. The apparatus comprises a flexible diaphragm movable in response to both repeated long-term and repeated short-term pressure changes and also includes time delay means connecting a movable means, which is movable between first and second positions by the diaphragm, to the mechanism for effecting a desired response in the mechanism at such times that the movable means occupies a selected one of the first and second positions for a predetermined long-term period of time established by the time delay means and thereby avoiding rapidly repeated intermittent responses of the mechanism as a result of the shortterm pressure changes acting on the diaphragm.

Abstract: A switching assembly is for an electrical switching apparatus. The electrical switching apparatus has a base. The switching assembly includes a printed circuit board structured to be coupled to the base, at least one switch mechanically coupled to and electrically connected with the printed circuit board, and an actuation member structured to be coupled to the base. The actuation member has at least one actuation portion having a button portion and an arm portion extending from the button portion. The arm portion is structured to engage and actuate the switch. The actuation portion is structured to move between a FIRST position and a SECOND position. When the actuation portion moves from the FIRST position toward the SECOND position, the button portion moves the arm portion toward engagement with the switch in order to actuate the switch.

Abstract: A pressure switch for pressures up to a maximum permissible pressure (pmax), with a housing (1) and a membrane (2), whereby the membrane is fastened in the housing. The membrane has an exposed face on which a pressure can act, and it is deformed when a pressure acts upon it. The pressure switch comprises a means (4) that converts the membrane deformation into a stroke, as well as an electric contact system that interacts with this means. The means causes a membrane deformation to actuate the electric contact system. The pressure switch also comprises a cast solid abutment member (5) that completely fills a cavity between an inner wall of the housing and the face of the membrane opposite the exposed face when the membrane is exposed to the maximum permissible pressure pmax.

Abstract: Sensors for mounting in fluid chambers respond electrically to low pressures in the fluid, while resisting damage or leakage at high pressures. A flexible diaphragm, mounted at one end of a housing, is sandwiched between first and second annuli, leaving a center portion free to move in response to fluid pressure changes. The diaphragm moves a cylinder, which reciprocates in the second annulus against an adjustable spring bias. Travel of the cylinder away from the fluid is limited by a stop. Once the stop is reached, increased pressure on the diaphragm forces it against a fixed wall composed of a face of the second annulus and a face of the cylinder. The forces on the diaphragm are then all compressive. This enables the use of an easily flexed diaphragm for low pressure sensitivity, while resisting damage from high pressures. The moving cylinder is used to move a magnet that actuates a Hall effect switch, a Hall effect analog output transducer, or a reed switch. In alternative embodiments, the cylinder actuates a mechanical switch or variable resistor.

Abstract: A pressure actuated switch has a diaphragm mounted across a piston having a piston head. Movement of the piston under pressure variations acting on the diaphragm actuates the pressure switch. A support disc is provided for the diaphragm, the support disc being mounted between the diaphragm and the piston. The support disc is preferably made of a high tensile elastic material and has an outer annulus that extends beyond the piston head, an inner disc that is smaller in diameter than the piston head; and a flexible intermediate annulus cantilevered between the outer annulus and the inner disc.

Abstract: An integral housing and body case contain a diaphragm having one side exposed to an external signal pressure and another side exposed to a chamber in the integral housing and body case so that the diaphragm is able to flex in response to a pressure differential between the sides thereof. A rod in the integral housing and body case is movable in response to the flexure of the diaphragm and loosely carries a movable contact which can engage at least one fixed contact in the integral housing and body case. A first spring biases the movable contact toward the at least one fixed contact so that when the rod is moved by a signal pressure, the resulting movement of the movable contact causes the movable contact to engage with the fixed contact and be maintained thereagainst by only the force of the first spring.
