摘要 The invention relates to double pole contact switches for use on automobile electrically operated systems such as the doors, windows and seats and, more particularly, to double pole contact switches wherein each contact set of the movable contact carrier is made up of a plurality of laminated sheet metal blades, with one blade having a movable contact, and a second blade having an independently movable arcing contact. The arcing contact is arranged and constructed to contact a stationary contact prior to electrical contact being made with the stationary contact by the movable contact. The function of the arcing contact is to extinguish or dissipate any contact arcing that may occur across the movable contact and stationary contact to prevent contact pitting.
权利要求
1. A switch mechanism comprising a housing, a stationary contact mounted in said housing, a contact carrier formed from three separate resilient sheet metal sheets having a laminated relationship in their assembly also mounted in said housing, said carrier having a first blade with a movable contact mounted thereon opposite said stationary contact, a second blade adjacent to and in engagement with said first blade and having an arcing contact at one end, adjacent to said movable contact and which extends beyond said movable contact toward said stationary contact, a third blade adjacent said second blade in contact therewith along a portion thereof and being spaced apart from the second blade at the arcing contact end, and an actuator lever pivotally mounted in said housing opposite said stationary contact and also in contact with said third blade, said movable contact having a portion thereof that extends through an opening formed in said second blade and is in contact with said third blade, whereby said movable contact is moved into engagement with said stationary contact after the arcing contact first engages said stationary contact by continued movement of that portion of the movable contact that extends through the opening in said second blade through the movement of the third blade by the actuator lever, said contact carrier having a second group of blades and contacts formed opposite and diagonally across from the first mentioned group of blades that are interconnected with said first group of blades, by separate integral members of resilient sheet metal, said contact carrier being attached to the housing adjacent said stationary contact means at the interconnected members with said two groups of blades being inclined away from said stationary contact toward said actuator lever, to loosely engage said actuator lever and bias it to the neutral position when the switch mechanism is not being used.
