Abstract:
1. A module for use in making a limit switch for selectively making and breaking an electrical circuit which comprises in combination: a body portion having a plurality of holes, extending therethrough, for mounting said body portion to an object and having first and seconds ends; a mechanical operator head mounted on said first end of said body portion; an actuator arm member for contacting an object operatively mounted on said operator head; target means mounted in said operator head and operatively connected to said actuator arm member; said target means being positioned so as to selectively extend into said body portion in operative relationship with a proximity sensor when a proximity sensor is positioned in said second end; whereby when a module is assembled into a complete limit switch mounted on an object and said actuator arm member contacts a movable portion of said object said target means is moved to actuate a proximity sensor positioned in said body second end to make/break an electrical circuit.
