Switchlock Assembly With Snap-In Cam

View page
US Patent:
6446475, Sep 10, 2002
Filed:
Jun 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/878636
Inventors:
William Joseph Agnatovech - Hudson MA
Robert Ehrensberger - Imperial PA
Assignee:
ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
E05B 1704
US Classification:
70379R, 70252, 70380, 70466, 70DIG 30
Abstract:
A switchlock assembly with snap-in cam for mounting in a panel from the front with the panel cutout being smaller than the cam radius. The switchlock assembly comprises a switch base, a shell, a plug operable by a key, the cam and a latch clip. The latch clip prevents the plug from being removed from the shell. The latch clip also secures the cam within the plug and prevents the cam from being removed, but does not prevent the cam from rotating when a key is inserted into the plug of the switchlock assembly and turned. Switch tumblers and tumbler splines enable a key to be pulled out in a designated position, but not to allow the key to be pulled out 180 degrees from the designated key pull position.

Illuminated Pushbutton Switch

US Patent:
6974924, Dec 13, 2005
Filed:
Apr 1, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/817031
Inventors:
William Joseph Agnatovech - Hudson MA, US
Frank Mark Domzalski - Wellesley MA, US
Assignee:
ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H01H009/00
US Classification:
200314, 200341
Abstract:
A low cost miniature illuminated pushbutton switch for soldering to a circuit board (), which avoids damage to an LED during such soldering to the board. The pushbutton assembly, which slides between outward and inward positions, includes a molded plastic frame (), sheet metal pushbutton conductors () mounted on the frame, and an LED () having a bulb () lying forward of the frame and having leads () joined to front ends of two of the pushbutton conductors. The pushbutton assembly also has a pushbutton depressing element () with a through passage () that surrounds the bulb and extends forward of the bulb, the pushbutton element having an inward end () that joins to the pushbutton frame through lugs (). A pair of the sheet metal conductors () have inward ends exposed to deflectable housing contact portions (), the sheet metal conductors have middle portions that extend through the frame, and the sheet metal conductors have outer ends forming crimp barrels () that are crimped to the leads.

Miniature Pushbutton Switch Of Modular Construction

US Patent:
D3527000, Nov 22, 1994
Filed:
Dec 22, 1993
Appl. No.:
D/016726
Inventors:
William J. Agnatovech - Franklin MA
Assignee:
Augat Inc. - Mansfield MA
US Classification:
D13171

Rotary Switch

View page
US Patent:
54080622, Apr 18, 1995
Filed:
Jun 22, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/081465
Inventors:
William J. Agnatovech - Franklin MA
Assignee:
Augat, Inc. - Mansfield MA
International Classification:
H01H 1914
US Classification:
200564
Abstract:
A rotary switch includes a keylock housing having a collar disposed therein and a rotor disposed in a switch case housing to provide an internal labyrinth geometry. The collar includes a plurality of spaced mechanical stops to provide multiple mechanical travel options determined by the orientation with which the collar is disposed in the housing. Thus the stop collar may be disposed in the keylock housing in a plurality of different orientations with each of the orientations providing a keylock mechanism disposed in the keylock housing with a corresponding mechanical travel. The internal labyrinth geometry provided by the rotor-switch case housing assembly increases the electrical path length through which an electric charge must travel. Thus, the rotor-switch case housing assembly provides the rotary switch with protection from electrostatic discharge.

US Patent:
53897587, Feb 14, 1995
Filed:
Dec 22, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/171616
Inventors:
William J. Agnatovech - Franklin MA
Assignee:
Augat Inc. - Mansfield MA
International Classification:
H01H 1314
US Classification:
200530
Abstract:
A miniature pushbutton switch of modular construction is provided. The switch can be readily assembled in an inexpensive manner without need for skilled personnel and without need for any special assembly tooling. In a preferred embodiment, the switch includes respective assemblies each of plastic molded construction which are configured to be snap fitted together for final assembly of the switch.

Normally Open Extended Travel Dual Tact Switch Assembly With Sequential Actuation Of Individual Switches

View page
US Patent:
62714872, Aug 7, 2001
Filed:
Mar 21, 2000
Appl. No.:
9/532115
Inventors:
Frank M. Domzalski - Wellesley MA
William J. Agnatovech - Hudson MA
Assignee:
ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H01H 900
H01H 1356
H01H 100
US Classification:
200 1B
Abstract:
A dual tactile feedback, three-state, low profile pushbutton switch comprising an insulated housing, a metal dome, an extended travel molded elastomeric dome or stem having a conductive material on a bottom surface for contacting the metal dome and contacts in the switch housing, a collar having an opening for a top portion of said elastomeric dome to protrude therethrough, and a fixed contact under the metal dome on the base of the insulated housing connected to a switch terminal. A flat plate with four legs is placed above the stem which moves adjacent to the walls of the housing. The plate extends through a frame and openings on the sides of the frame snap on to the sides of the insulated housing. Greater switch reliability is achieved by having the elastomeric dome with a bottom portion comprising a conductive material for contacting the metal dome. An alternate embodiment of the three-state switch comprises a pushbutton disposed above an upper, extruded, elastomeric element for lower cost advantages having conductive material on a bottom surface for making electrical contact within the base of the switch housing and a lower metal dome, when the pushbutton is activated.

Dual Tact Switch Assembly

US Patent:
58981470, Apr 27, 1999
Filed:
Oct 29, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/960005
Inventors:
Frank M. Domzalski - Framingham MA
William J. Agnatovech - Franklin MA
Assignee:
C & K Components, Inc. - Watertown MA
International Classification:
H01H 106
H01H 526
H01H 900
H01H 1370
US Classification:
200 1B
Abstract:
A dual action, convex disc push-button switch assembly providing tactile feedback to the operator. Each convex disc contact comprises four tabs, each tab of which is fitted and secured in the base of the switch assembly making the switch easy to assemble and operate reliably. The tabs of a first convex disc contact are positioned forty-five degrees relative to the tabs of a second convex disc contact. The switch is sealed thereby permitting various ways to secure the switch terminals to an electronic board.
