MULTI-STATION PUSH BUTTON SWITCH.
Abstract:
A two and ten station mechanical interlocked and manual release, illuminated, snap action, sealed, pushbutton switch assembly is being developed. Each station consists of up to six double pole miniature switch circuits, a front removable lens and lamp and unit which requires no tools to remove, and all circuitry associated with the lamp and miniature switches. A multi-station snap action switch assembly consists of two or more stations on a common frame. All stations are mechanically linked to provide the appropriate lockout, interlock and teaseproof functions. An extra momentary station shall be incorporated to provide manual release of any previously actuated station. Work was stopped about January 28, 1965 because of lack of funds. During this period all parts were fabricated and several subassemblies were built. Work remaining to be accomplished consists of final assembly, drafting, and testing of the finished units.
