Y., assignor to Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated, New York, N. Y., a corporation of N ew York A@application .uly 11, 1940, Serial No. 344,891
(Cl. 7d- 532) 9 Claims.
This object is attained, in accordance with a feature of the invention, by pivotally mounting a centrally apertured -guard member on the faceplate of the switching key and providing thereon an integral bolt or latch which, when the key lever is moved to any of its switching positions,
is automatically moved in behind the lever shank to lock the lever in its operated position.
Another feature of the invention resides in a novel type of spring biasing arrangement for maintaining the guard in its latching position.
A' further feature of the invention is embodied in a finger-grip, formed integrally with the guard, which facilitates the movement of the guard from its latching position.
These and other features of the invention will be readily understood from the following dee tailed description made with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
1 is a side elevation of the key-guard of this invention associated with a three-position lever type key, and shows the guard in its latching position;
Fig. 2 is a top view of the structure disclosed in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a top view, corresponding to Fig. 2,
and illustrates the guard in its unlatching position;
Fig. 4 is an end view 'of the structure shown in Figs. 1 and 2; and
Fig. 5 is an end view of the structure shown in Fig. 3.
In the drawing, the key-guard I5 is shown mounted on the key face-plate Eil by means of the shoulder pins I6 and.' i8, The shank of shoulder pin I5 passes through a circular hole at one end of the guard and is screwed into, or otherwise permanently associated with the faceplate. The -guard is capable of pivotal movement about the pin IB. At its other end, the
guard is provided with a slot I l, which is slightly I;
arcuate. The shank of shoulder pin I8 passes through this slot and is xedly associated with the face-plate Ill. The extent to which the guard may be pivotally moved about the pin I6 is limited bythe length of slot Il. To permit the movement of the guard by hand, a finger-piece 22 is integrally formed on the guard and located near the slotted end thereof. The bosses 23, formed integrally with, and located on the under- 3 side of the guard, provide bearing surfaces for the guard in its movement over the face-plate.
The :guard I5 may be stamped or otherwise formed of sheet metal. A substantial portion of the metal is removed from the center of the guard to furnish an aperture I9 through which a portion of the lever I2 and its handle supporting shank I3 protrude when the guard is in position on the key structure. At the upper edge (viewing Figs. l and 2) of the aperture I9, the metal is turned up at right angles toform a substantially semi-elliptical integral projection 2), midway of whose curved edge there is formed an inwardly projecting bolt or latch 25. At the junction of the portion 2@ and the main portion of the guard l5, a small aperture or slot 26 is provided, through which a humped portion 2 of spring 28 protrudes. The spring 28 is located between the face-plate It and the guard I5 and has one end partially encircling the shank of shoulder pin i6, while the other end is terminated in a hook which nts around the shank of shoulder pin I8 and is free to move longitudinally, relative to the pin I8.
In Figs 1 and 2, the key lever has been actuated to one of its switching positions. Prior to such operation the key lever would occupy the normal position illustrated in Fig. 3. In this position, the front edge of latch 25 abuts the shank i3 of the lever, as clearly shown in Fig. 5, and the spring 28 is boweddue to the action of the back face of projection 2li on the spring hump 2l when the guard is caused to pivot about the pin It.I During this action on the spring 28, the hooked end thereof moves from the position illustrated in Fig. 2 to that shown in Fig. 3. Thus, when in the position shown in Fig. 3, the guard i5 is held, under the tension of spring 28, with the edge of latch 25 abutting the lever shank i5. rWhen the lever is actuated to the right or left from its mid-position, the lever shank i3 rides oli the latch 25 and, under the action of spring 23, the latch is snapped into position behind the lever shank to effectively lock the lever in its actuated position.
In the event that the key must be operated from either of its actuated positions to its other actuated position, or to its mid-position, the guard is pivotally moved about the pin I6, the operator or attendant pushing on the iinger-grip 22 with one hand and grasping the knurled handle I4 of the key with the other hand and moving it to the new position. Pivotal movement of the guard removes the latch 25 from the operating path of the lever shank I3, thus permitting unimpeded movement of the lever. When the lever is moved to its new position, the guard is released so that, under the action of spring 28, the latch snaps into position behind the lever, if the lever is now in one of its actuated positions, or into engagement with the lever shank I3, should the lever have been moved to its mid-position.
The face-plate Ill is provided with a series of holes II through which screws or the like may be passed for engagement with the frame 33 which supports the key structure. It is to be `understood that the particular structural details of the :key may be of any well-known design. vThe key which applicant has elected to disclose is of the well-known lever type in which an inverted U-shaped mounting bracket or frame 33 is used, and between the legs of which the circuit controlling springs are mounted. The bridge of the U-shaped bracket 33 is secured to the face-plate I .in any suitable manner and 1s provided'with two oppositely disposed depending integral lugs 34 upon which the contact operating lever is pivotally mounted, the said lever carrying means for electrically bridging certain of the contact springs or for otherwise actuating the Contact springs.
