Title:
INNLINE SWITCH
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5380575
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An in-line switch is provided for an electrical circuit where the in-line switch can be connected in the circuit through pairs of spaced stabs on opposite sides of the switch housing which can penetrate a conventional line cord and make electrical contact to conductors of the cord. A single pair of stabs can also be used. The in-line switch is totally enclosed by an insulation housing. An internal molded articulated structure is contained within the housing to support all switch components including a conductive chassis, an elongated linearly adjustable potentiometer, a sliding operating member, and power switch contact members. The articulated housing then receives the sliding member which actuates the potentiometer in order to operate the switch contacts and/or to dim load devices in series with the switch. The switch members are identical in construction and consist of flexible leaf members having contacts at one end thereof and stab elements at the other end thereof.
