Abstract
The pressure switch, constituted by a cylindrical body, comprises two portions which are interconnected; also, a first of the portions is connected to a micro-switch and the second to an inlet for pressurise fluid delivery. A stem is housed inside the cylindrical body and oscillates alternatively between an inactive position, with the micro-switch deactivated, and an active position, with the micro-switch activated by pressing. Elements for slowing a translation velocity of the stem are included between the stem and the inlet.
Claims4
A damped pressure switch, comprising:
- a cylindrical body having an inlet and internally containing a pressure-controlled stem which is free to oscillate alternatingly translatingly from an inactive position to an active position in which the stem protrudes from the cylindrical body;
- wherein the switch comprises means for reducing a translation velocity of the stem from the inactive position to the active position, which means for reducing are interpositioned between the stem and the inlet.
