Abstract: 15,427. McIndoe, J. B. Nov. 2. [Cognate Application, 6258/16.] Interlocked switches; cases; switch mechanism interlocking with lids.-Relates to interlocked combined electric switches and couplings of the kind in which the fixed contacts of the switch connected to one set of leads B<1>, Fig. 3, are mounted on a plug member so that when the plug is inserted correctly in the switch casing A the contacts may be engaged by the knife-blade or other movable contacts D of the switch connected to the other set of leads B. According to the invention, the plug member comprises a tubular support E, preferably cylindrical, within which the contacts are fixed so as to be exposed by a cut-away part of the support, as shown, the contacts being covered, when necessary, by a sleeve surrounding the support and capable of rotary or longitudinal movement in relation thereto. In the construction shown in Figs. 3 and 6, when the plug member is in position in the casing, the sleeve is fixed to a flange of the casing by a pin.andslot connexion and the union F<2>. The support E, which has a bearing E<1> in the other end of the casing. may be rotated within the sleeve by the handle G. The ends of the support and the sleeve are pressed together by an adjustable spring, and a ball E<2> interposed between the ends co-operates with recesses in the end of the support to determine the positions in which the cut away parts of the sleeve and support are in register and completely out of register, respectively, and to retain them in these positions against accidental movement. The support may be fixed to the casing, and the sleeve rotated by an external turn-button mounted in the inner end of the casing, which serves also as an inner bearing for the sleeve. The switch can be closed only when two holes in the sleeve and support respectively are in register to permit the pin H, connected through the link H<1> to the switch arm, to pass therethrough. These holes are only in this position when the plug member has been inserted correctly into the casing and the contacts exposed by a rotation of the sleeve or the support. While the switch is closed, the plug-member cannot be removed, and the cover of the casing is locked also by a sliding bolt engaging the cover and operated through a link by the switch handle. The switch plug may be combined with a fuze controlled by an auxiliary switch R, Fig. 16, which, by reason of the pin R<1> connected therewith engaging a hole in the axle of the plug switch D, cannot be closed until the plug switch is closed and the plug switch cannot be opened until the auxiliary switch is opened.
