Abstract
An ultra low pressure switch adjustment system for efficiently differentiating between varying triggering pressures. The ultra low pressure switch adjustment system generally includes a housing including a first aperture and a second aperture, wherein said housing is comprised of a first portion and a second portion, wherein said first portion and said second portion define a cavity between thereof, a first terminal positioned within said cavity, a first adjustment member to engage said first terminal, wherein said first adjustment member extends through said first aperture, a second terminal positioned within said cavity and a second adjustment member to engage said second terminal, wherein said second adjustment member extends through said second aperture.
Claims18
An ultra low pressure switch, comprising:
- a housing including a cavity, a first aperture extending into said cavity and a second aperture extending into said cavity;
- a first terminal positioned within said cavity;
- a second terminal positioned within said cavity, wherein said second terminal selectively engages said first terminal;
- a first adjustment member to engage said first terminal, wherein said first adjustment member extends through said first aperture in an adjustable manner to adjust a position of said first terminal;
- and
- a second adjustment member to engage said second terminal, wherein said second adjustment member extends through said second aperture in an adjustable manner;
- wherein said first terminal includes a third aperture, wherein said third aperture receives said second adjustment member.
An ultra low pressure switch, comprising:
- a housing including a cavity, a first aperture extending into said cavity and a second aperture extending into said cavity;
- a first terminal positioned within said cavity, wherein said first terminal pivots about a first pivot point;
- a second terminal positioned within said cavity, wherein said second terminal selectively engages said first terminal and wherein said second terminal pivots about a second pivot point;
- a first adjustment member to engage said first terminal, wherein said first adjustment member extends through said first aperture in an adjustable manner to adjust a position of said first terminal;
- and
- a second adjustment member to engage said second terminal, wherein said second adjustment member extends through said second aperture in an adjustable manner;
- wherein said second terminal pivots about a third pivot point via said second adjustment member, wherein said third pivot point is distally spaced outwardly from said second pivot point.
An ultra low pressure switch, comprising:
- a housing including a first aperture and a second aperture, wherein said housing is comprised of a first portion and a second portion, wherein said first portion and said second portion define a cavity between thereof;
- a first terminal positioned within said cavity;
- a second terminal positioned within said cavity, wherein said second terminal selectively engages said first terminal;
- a first adjustment member to engage said first terminal, wherein said first adjustment member extends through said first aperture in an adjustable manner to adjust a position of said first terminal;
- a second adjustment member to engage said second terminal, wherein said second adjustment member extends through said second aperture in an adjustable manner;
- wherein said first terminal includes a third aperture, wherein said third aperture receives said second adjustment member and wherein said third aperture is positioned substantially concentric with said first terminal;
- wherein said first adjustment member is substantially perpendicularly positioned with respect to said first terminal;
- wherein said second adjustment member is substantially perpendicularly positioned with respect to said second terminal;
- wherein said first adjustment member is threadably attached to said housing and wherein said second adjustment member is threadably attached to said housing;
- wherein said first terminal pivots about a first pivot point within said housing;
- wherein said first adjustment member pivotally adjusts said first inner member;
- wherein said second terminal pivots about a second pivot point within said housing;
- wherein said second terminal pivots about a third pivot point via said second adjustment member, wherein said third pivot point is distally spaced outwardly from said second pivot point;
- and
- a diaphragm member positioned within said cavity, wherein said diaphragm member is positioned adjacent to said second terminal.
