161 Switch device US10652784 2003-08-29 US20040045801A1 2004-03-11 Keiichi Shimizu; Yasuhide Tanaka
A switch device for rotating and stopping a DC motor includes a first switch element having two moving contacts, two normally open NO contacts and two normally closed NC contacts, a second switch element having one or two normally closed NC contacts, and an operating element. The operating element serves to connect the two moving contacts individually to input terminals of the DC motor, the two NO contacts to a voltage source line at a higher voltage, and each of the two NC contacts of the first switch element to another voltage source line at a lower voltage such as the ground potential, each through the NC contact, or one of the two NC contacts, of the second switch element. The NC contact of the second switch element is maintained in an open condition during a period from when either one of the NO contacts begins to change from a closed condition to an open condition until the corresponding NC contact of the first switch element finishes changing from an open condition to a closed condition.
162 Method and apparatus for interrupting current through deionization of arc plasma US09676547 2000-09-29 US06667863B1 2003-12-23 Edward A. Mallonen; David J. Benard; Paul T. Nolden; Mark Clayton
A technique is provided for enhancing performance of a circuit interrupter by deionizing arc plasma developed during an interruption event. A source material is disposed in a secondary current carrying path parallel to a primary current carrying path through the device. Upon movement of a movable contact in the primary current carrying path, current begins to flow through the source material, causing surface ablation of a material which deionizes arc plasma, resulting in greater voltage investment in the arc and more rapid extinction.
163 Magnet switch for starter US10403022 2003-04-01 US20030189472A1 2003-10-09 Tsutomu Shiga; Masami Niimi
In a magnet switch for a starter, a first contact portion and a second contact portion are connected in parallel between a battery and a motor. The first contact portion makes contact through a resistive component so that the motor starts rotation at low speed. By this, a pinion is pushed in an axial direction by an axial component of splines and brought into mesh with a ring gear in a condition that its rotation is restricted. Thereafter, the second contact portion makes contact in accordance with further movement of a plunger so that electric power is fully supplied to the motor through the second contact portion, thereby starting engine. A fixed contact of the first contact portion is made of a carbon material. The resistive component is provided by the carbon material.
164 Arc discharge suppressive connector US10059391 2002-01-31 US20020106921A1 2002-08-08 Hiroki Hirai; Kouji Ota; Yoshitsugu Tsuji; Hiroto Ueno; Shigeki Sakai; Kenji Inoue; Takeshi Tsuji; Yoshiyuki Miyazaki
Disclosed is a connector having a terminal which is rendered into an electrically connectable state with a counterpart terminal by engaging with the counterpart terminal; a housing for accommodating the terminal therein; and an arc suppressive member which is provided at such a position as to be electrically connectable to the terminal and rendered into contact with the counterpart terminal when the terminal is being disengaged from the counterpart terminal so as to keep on electrically connecting the terminal and the counterpart terminal. The arc suppressive member has such a construction that an amount of discharged arc when the arc suppressive member is detached from the counterpart terminal is smaller than an amount of discharged arc when the terminal is disengaged from the counterpart terminal. With this arrangement, arc discharge at the disengagement of the terminals is suppressed.
165 CURRENT LIMITING CIRCUIT BREAKER US09745019 2000-12-20 US20020092829A1 2002-07-18 William Weizhong Chen; Frank Ehrenberger; Aaron Bottorff; Matt Sortland
The present invention provides a current limiting circuit breaker having a current responsive device for opening a pair of contacts or switch upon short circuit conditions. The current responsive device utilizes an insulating object driven by a magnetic force caused by a short circuit current. Upon opening of the contacts with the use of the insulating object, let-through current flows through a secondary contact, positioned on the insulating object, to a positive temperature coefficient resistivity element which limits the current and arcing in the contacts. The PTC elements could be pure metallic materials such as pure tungsten, pure iron, etc. Conductive polymer and ceramic PTC materials could also be used for some specific applications. The present invention also provides a method of electrically connecting a drive plate and a line terminal on the current limiting circuit breaker.
166 Switch contact configuration US09606992 2000-06-29 US06388215B1 2002-05-14 James G. Sepelak; Michael J. Holland
A switch which permits the use of high contact spring force without the correspondingly high mechanism actuator force typically needed with a switch which utilizes a high contact spring force.
167 Bi-stable battery switch US09559679 2000-04-27 US06310529B1 2001-10-30 Edwin J. Luetzow; Richard L. Luetzow
The present invention is for a bi-stable battery switch incorporated preferably for internal use into a remotely switchable storage battery, or, in the alternative, for external use with a battery. A bifurcated contact assembly incorporating dual bus bars is pulse actuated by a solenoid and cam arrangement to engage or disengage across opposing contacts. When engaging the contacts and when associated with high inductive loads, the first bus bar to advance initiates contact and assumes the arcing load, while the second bus bar to advance assumes the current load. When breaking contact and when associated with high inductive loads, the first bus bar to retreat breaks the current load and the second bus bar to retreat breaks the arcing load. Thus, the loads are shared to increase the durability and length of service of the switch.
168 Contact unit for electromagnetic relays US09461386 1999-12-15 US06300854B1 2001-10-09 Johannes Oberndorfer
For increasing the reliability of contact closure in safety relays, a contact spring (10) is provided with two contact pieces (15, 16) which are disposed at the free end of the contact spring (10), spaced transversely of the longitudinal axis thereof and cooperate with contact pieces (17, 18) disposed on a common fixed contact. The contact spring (10) has a zone (19) in which it is not only flexible but also sufficiently torsional about its longitudinal axis in order to ensure the closure of both contact couples. Disposing the free end of the contact spring (10) carrying the contact pieces (15, 16) at an angle with respect to the fixed contact (12) achieves smooth and low-bounce contact closure and at the same time provides the function of a pre-contact and a main contact.

One of the terminals (7) of the auxiliary contacts (4) and one of the terminals (6) of the main contacts of the same phase are located above each other on the same side of the switching device. The auxiliary contacts (4) close before the main contacts (3) and open after same. A rigid resistor (8) is connected between the terminals (6) and (7) of each phase. The rigid resistor (8) facilitates upgrading of existing electromagnetic switching devices (1) with resistors (8) that are required for switching of capacitive loads.
173 Slide switch US690998 1996-08-01 US5672854A 1997-09-30 Minoru Nishio
A slide switch opening and closing a circuit for supplies electricity to a load by making and breaking contact between a movable contact and a stationary contact. The stationary contact is integrally formed with an arc generating portion for generating an arc when the circuit is opened or closed. The arc generating portion protrudes in the direction of movement of the movable contact and has a width which gradually decreases from its base portion towards its tip portion. The slide switch is capable of preventing the arc generating portion and the movable contact from having a groove due to wear.
174 Contact spring arrangement for a relay for conducting and switching high currents US335741 1995-05-09 US5583471A 1996-12-10 Josef Weiser; Robert Esterl; Gerhard Furtwangler; Horst Tamm
The contact spring arrangement has an elongated contact spring having a rigid connecting leg which extends approximately parallel to the contact spring and conducts the switching current in a direction opposite to the contact spring. On the side opposite the connecting leg the contact spring has a contact piece which co-operates with an opposite counter-contact element having a contact piece. The repulsive forces between the connecting leg and the contact spring become so long that even in the case of the highest short circuit currents no welding of the contacts results when in the case of contact pieces made from silver or a silver alloy the length of the gap formed between the contact spring and connecting leg is at least 20 times larger than the average spring spacing in the gap.
175 Electrical switch having arc-protected contacts US784695 1985-10-03 US4616112A 1986-10-07 Michael D. Galloway; William H. Rose; David T. Shaffer
An electrical switch comprises a dielectric base member having parallel stationary contact assemblies provided with aligned contact segments, each of the contact segments including an exposed contact section and a dielectric section. A spring-biased movable contact assembly is disposed between the stationary contact assemblies and includes cantilevered arcuate contact sections springably engaging respective aligned contact segments. The exposed contact sections have parallel projections and the dielectric sections have a projection along which the arcuate contact sections move, one of the parallel projections being longer so that, when the arcuate contact sections move from the contact sections onto the dielectric sections or vice versa, the arcuate contact sections engage the longer projection last or first so that an electric arc, if it occurs, will occur therebetween rather than between the short projections and the arcuate contact sections.

An electric switch having a tactile feel and capable of carrying high current without requiring the use of relays, the switch being resistant to arcing damage by effecting sequential making and breaking at different contact points.
178 Electrically operated, mechanically held electrical switching device US410804 1982-08-23 US4430579A 1984-02-07 Dominik M. Wiktor
An electrical switching device having an actuator reciprocable between two extreme positions, the switch being open and closed, respectively, when the actuator is in its two extreme positions. An electrical operator, such as a solenoid having a movable armature, responds to successive momentary energizations by moving the actuator first to one extreme position and then the other. The actuator is mechanically held in each extreme position by a spring-biased element which also serves to transmit movement of the actuator to the switch contacts. The actuator may have a cam surface shaped to cause opening and closing of the switch contacts, the cam surface also cooperating with the spring-biased element for urging the actuator toward each of its extreme positions. The switching device may be used for interrupting electric power to a customer of a utility by being located between a watt-hour meter and the customer's load, or in other similar applications.
