United States Patent 3,335,248 THREEPOLE-SWITCH FOR WALL MOUNTING WITH CONTACT DAMPENING MEANS Ermanno Bassani, Corso di Porta Vittoria 9, Milan, Italy Filed Apr. 5, 1966, Ser. No. 540,380
Claims priority, application Italy, Apr. 12, 1965, 8,138/65 6 Claims. (Cl. 200-166) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A switch for wall mounting comprising a housing, at least one fixed contact, at least one movable contact in the housing movable in and out of engagement with the fixed contact and provided with dampening means to prevent rebounding of the movable contact during engagement with the fixed contact.
This invention relates to a threepole-switch conceived, built and sized so as to be set on a small frame to be placed under the wall plaster, in substitution for, or in combination with other such electric devices new or already used in the same manner, as, f.i., unipolar-switches, bells, sockets and the like.
The object of this invention is to obtain a threepoleswitch especially adapted for supporting electric powers up to four and five kw., of reduced size, so as to be set into a wall, with the system comprising other such electric devices.
A further object of this invention is to provide a threepole-switch of the aforesaid kind suitable for large series manufacturing at low cost, whereby the switch although of reduced size, it is in condition to ensure a quick opening and closing of its contacts, without any rebounding so as to assure a long life of the threepole-switch.
According to the invention, the threepole-switch comprises an external casing of such size so that it may be mounted along side of further electric devices and set-up together with them onto a supporting frame for their enclosing into a wall.
A further characteristic of this invention is that the mobile contacts are supported by elastic, arcuated blades for conducting the electric current, and fastened to small levers, whereon an insulating member is due to act with the help of appropriate compression springs after it has acquired a certain speed, thus ensuring a clear and rapid opening of the contacts, and consenting to the closing of the contacts, due to the action of said springs, together with the elastic contact holders, they compose an elastic damping system which impedes any rebounding of the mobile contacts, when they connect with the fixed contacts.
Still a further characteristic of the invention is that the fixed contacts which are located adjacent each other are separated from one another by appropriate electrically insulating walls.
Another characteristic is that in the rear portion of the casing of the threepole-switch, there are provided, on opposed rows, the terminals for the connection of the electric conductors, said terminals being separated and protected by insulating walls.
An embodiment of a switch according to the invention is shown by way of a non limiting example on the herewith attached drawings and described hereinunder, as follows.
Of said drawings:
FIGURE 1 shows the threepole-switch with a small supporting frame, whereon it is set up;
FIGURES 2 and 3 represent partially in cross section, the disposition and the movement of the mobile contacts;
FIGURE 4 represents in perspective view the threepoleswitch;
FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of the threepole-switch in combination with other electric devices to be enclosed within a wall; and
FIGURE 6 shows the setting-up of the threepole-switch on a supporting frame for the disposition of a unique device.
In FIGURE 1, the switch according to the invention is constituted by a casing 1 having a rectangular cross section, presenting a front lever 2 for control purpose, projecting from said casing and being surrounded by a fastening band 3 connected to said casing by means of clasping means 4 encompassing projections 5 protruding from said casing. Said clasping band 3 is provided at its upper and lower portions with small tongues 6 and 7, by means of which it is fastened on a small supporting frame 8 of known kind, to support electric devices of various nature. Said small frame shows one or more small windows or apertures 9 set next to each other.
In correspondence of each aperture 9 there is provided a lower split 10, wherein tongue 7 is introduced, and an upper split 11, wherein tongue 6 is fitted and locked by means a wedge like tongue 12 conveniently bent by means of an appropriate tool. Fastening of said clasping band 3 in the said manner will result that lever 2 projects through the aperture 9 and from the window of a plate 13 (FIGURES l and 5), which has so many small windows as said small frame and coinciding with the windows of the latter.
Within the remaining windows of said small frame there may be placed further devices to complete the desired combination of controls.
In the example of embodiment shown, the represented devices are (FIGURE 5) a bell contact 14, a simple electric switch 15 and a socket 16, to which a small plug 17 is connected.
As shown in FIGURES 2 and 3, lever 2 instantly displaces either to the one -or the other direction a rigid member 18 by means of a catch per se known. The member 18 has the function to move the movable contacts of the threepole-switch, only two of which are visible on the drawing. These movable contacts 19 are supported by elastic arcuated blades 20, respectively integral with small levers 21 fulcrumed at 22, and provided at their upper portions with projections to interfere with the aforesaid member 18.
As shown in FIGURE 2, when contacts 19 are contacting with the fixed contacts 24, the member 18 is remote from said projections 23. Thus, when lever 2 is actuated for the opening of the threepole-switch, the member 18 will acquire a certain speed before it engages proso as to displace the latter with considerable quick opening of the movable contacts, against the force of springs 25 acting on levers 21.
When lever 2 is actuated for the closure of the threepole-switch as per this invention, the member 18 will be rapidly displaced, under the action of springs 25, so that the latter can turn said levers until contacts 19 will engage with contacts 24. The elastic blades 20 form together with said springs 25 a damping system to avoid any rebounding of the movable contacts from the fixed confacts.
The opening and closing of the threepole-switch will be thus free of any sparking which could provoke welding or destroying of the contacts in short time.
As it may be observed from FIGURES 2 and 3, the fixed contacts are respectively separated by electrically insulating walls 26, which protect the contacts against the formation of electric arcs, in particular during the opening step.
As shown in FIGURES 2, 3 and 4, the fixed contacts and the movable contacts are connected to terminals 27', 28, respectively, to which the electric Wires are attached. Said terminals are separated from each other by means of separating walls 29, whereby said contacts are electrically and mechanically insulated.
FIGURE 6 illustrates how a threepole-switch can be installed as single device. In this case, the small frame 30 used will receive the form as shown in FIGURE 6, that is with a single window or aperture for the passage of lever 2, and with means for fastening to said small frame 30 by means of a plate or cover of adequate sizes. Said small frame is also manufactured with slits 10, 11 for the insertion of the small tongues 6, 7, respectively.
Of course the invention may be realized in various forms differing from that described in the specification and illustrated without departing in any way from the spirit of the invention.
