2,633/ 67 U.S. CI. 200-159 Int. Cl. H01h 3/12, 3/14, 13/64 6 Claims ABSTRACT F THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to a switching device, especially suitable for application to printed circuit boards. Such switching devices comprising push button operating means are used for instance in pushbutton sets for pulsing in telephone instruments. These pushbutton sets which must be mounted in the space provided for the conventional dial, must not be bulky, whereby the design of the device presents a problem, especially as the space available for the required contact springs is limited.
A known design uses reed contacts that are located substantially in parallel relationship to thecircuit board and conveniently secured to the same. When actuated, the movable springs make or break the contact with fixed contacts provided on the board. In this arrangement, however, it becomes necessary to use short contact springs, which has inherent disadvantages, such as a bad contact sliding at the closure moment of contact engagement, which may jeopardize an effective operation, as well as cause a relatively high deflection stress on a short spring length.
In another known construction, reed springs of U-form are mounted on a support projecting from the board, so that the arms of the U-formed springs are placed perpendicularly to the board. 'By this arrangement an increased spring length is obtained in comparison with the first-mentioned arrangement. The ends of the spring arms are inserted into holes in the board to cooperate with fixed contacts arranged on the edges of the holes. Ihe spring movement is obtained by displacement of the push button in a direction tangential to the spring. In order to obtain the required magnitude of the movement of the contact it is necessary to provide the spring with a deflection that is laterally displaced when pressing the button. This device, however, has the disadvantage that the deflection of the contact spring might cause fracture t of the spring.
The device of the invention is similar to this lastmentioned construction in that the springs are located on supports projecting vfrom the board and have contact arms that are substantially perpendicular to the board. It constitutes, however, an improvement of the known device in that the detlection length of the spring is considerably greater although the spring still occupies a reduced space. The spring furthermore is not subjected to bends that are likely to cause a fracture. These advantages are obtained by the contact springs being made of resilient 3 ,433 ,9 14 Patented Mar. 18, 1969 ICC wire and the spring arm carrying the movable contact at an intermediate portion having a coil spiral of cylindrical form, the center axis of which is parallel to the plane of the board.
These and other advantages of the invention will be understood from the following description that is made with reference to the attached drawing.
In the drawing FIGURE 1 shows an exploded view of the pushbutton mechanism and FIGURE 2 shows the position of the contact spring in three different phases of the pushbutton movement.
The pushbutton mechanism is supported by a base plate 1 of insulating material that may be common to a plurality of pushbuttons. The base plate has secured thereon an elastic support 2 for each pushbutton mechanism. A pushbutton 3 has a center shaft 4 that tits into a hole 5 in the base plate 1, which hole serves as a guide for the shaft. As an additional guiding means for the pushbutton 3 a cover plate 6 with a square hole 7 is provided, through which hole the upper square portion of the pushbutton may protrude. To mount the mechanism, the shaft 4 is inserted into the hole 5, whereafter the cover plate 6 is placed over the upper part of the pushbutton and in a convenient manner secured to the base plate 1 at a predetermined distance from the same. For holding the buttonv in an inactive position the button is provided with a helical spring 10, located on an upper part 8 of the center shaft, which spring normally pushes the button 3 upwards, so that its flange 9 rests against the bottom side of the cover plate 6.
On the bottom side of the base plate a circuit board 11 with printed4 circuits (not shown in the figure) is provided. The switching device further comprises two movable contact `springs 13 and 14, one being a mirror image of the other. The contact springs are made of resilient wire and designed to be mounted on the support 2. For this purpose they are provided 'with a coil spiral 19 at their upper part, which coil spiral fits into a recess 21 in the support 2, where it is retained without being squeezed. The recess 21 has an upper opening that is somewhat narrower than the outer diameter of the coil spiral. The coil spiral may, however, be pushed down through this opening because the support 2 is made of an elastic material.
`Each spring has at the end of one 'arm a cylindrical contact 17 for cooperation with a fixed contact '12. At an intermediate portion of this arm is provided with a coil spiral 20 which partly serves to absorb the deection stresses during the actuation of the spring and partly serves as an actuation surface for the pushbutton, thereby providing a convenient trigger point as is explained below. The other arm of the spring is straight and, when mounting the spring in the support 2, this arm is inserted into a hole 25 through the base plate 1 and the printed circuit board 11, so that this arm may be soldered to a printed circuit on the bottom side of the circuit board as shown at 15 and 16 (FIG. 2). The cylindrical contact 17 provided on the end of the other arm is inserted into another hole 26. The fixed contact 12, made in form of a wire, is located in a groove 27 in the bottom side of the base plate and has a V-formed portion 18 for cooperation with the contact 17. The wire 12 may at a convenient place cross the circuit board and be connected to a conductor on this board. a
The pushbutton is provided with an actuation member 23 for actuating the springs. The actuation member is at its lower end provided with two symmetrical curved recesses 24 for actuating the coil spirals 20 of the springs 13 and 14. At the first moment of actuation the vertical diameter of the coil spirals are practically in the same plane as the vertical side of the respective actuation member, a fact that produces the desired trigger point effect (see FIG. 2). A person pressing the pushbutton has, in order to overcome the reaction of the spring, to increase the force so that the springs are displaced laterally thereby making contact with the fixed contacts. At the moment this occurs he cannot avoid pressing down the button to its lowermost position, whereby the actuation member slides down between the coil spirals 20 Iof the contact springs, the coil spirals resting against the side surfaces 28. By this trigger point etfect a minimum length of the spring movement is obtained.
I claim:
