Abstract: 14,577. Statter, J. G. June 26. Switches.-In order to obtain a strong pressure of the brush 1 upon its contacts 2, 3, and at the same time to provide a releasing-device which can be actuated by the application of a small amount of energy, the brush 1 is connected by a link 6 to a crank-disk. The spring 8 tends to force the link downwards, and is at its maximum compression when the pin 7 is at its highest position. The handle is connected through a free-wheel to the crank-disk so that the latter can only be rotated in the direction shown by the arrow A. On turning the handle until the pin 7 is at its highest position, the spring 8 is compressed, and the brush 1 is compressed against the contacts 2, 3. Immediately after passing this position, the spring forces the disk onwards until the projection 9 engages with the stop 10 on the lever 11. The automatic release for an overload is provided by the solenoid 17, which attracts the armature 19 carrying a stop 20, the latter forcing the lever 11 to the right, releasing the stop 9, and allowing the spring 8 to act. To prevent arcing between the brush 1 and contacts 2, 3, a replaceable strip of brass or copper 21, 22 is provided, which breaks contact after the main bridge 1 and takes the arc. Carbon contacts 25, 26 carried by hinged arms 23 may also be provided. These are drawn apart, when the switch is opened by means of toggle arms 32, 33, which engage with a slot 31 in a prolongation of the rod 29.
