Abstract

The present invention relates to a universal device for safety switches which is used to control a conductive strip and serves as On/Off switching agent. The attachment is slopingly mounted in the switch housing. And the push-pull body used to move the conductive strip includes a pull body and an inclined spring element above the pull body. The pull body is in a free state when the conductive strip bounces upward into a deforming position. As a result, the attachment is not connected with the conductive strip; however, they are in a pull-push switching relationship such that the conductive strip is collapsible in a manner of reverse deformation for an electric disconnection in case of overload without restraint of the push-pull body of the attachment. During the ordinary state, the conductive strip maintains the usual (On/Off) switching function. Accordingly, the present invention is applicable to all kinds of safety switches for reaching a multipurpose effect of one object.

Dependent claims

A universal device for safety switches comprising:

a switch housing being a rectangular hollow case;
at least two blades, said first blade having a platinum conductive boss at bottom thereof, the top part of said second blade being formed as bending portion which is joined with a conductive stripe being a double alloy plate and collapsible upward and downward, said conductive stripe having a platinum conductive boss at the top thereof and corresponding to said platinum conductive boss of said first blade;
an attachment being movable in said switch housing and having a push-pull body at inner side thereof for moving a projecting tongue of said conductive stripe into On/Off position by deforming said conductive stripe;
and
an upper and a lower projection being formed at the deforming position of the middle part of said conductive stripe inside of said switch housing;
characterized in that said attachment is slopingly mounted in said switch housing, and said push-pull body used to move said conductive strip includes a pull body and an inclined spring element above said pull body, and that said pull body is in a free state when said conductive strip bounces upward into a deforming position.
