Abstract: An electromagnetically actuated hydraulic switch unit is provided by an armature plunger which reciprocally shuttles between partially overlapping magnetic paths and operating a hydraulic valve circuit through bistable snap blade means. Snap blades open and close entry ports, exit ports and vent ports to connect various passages in a housing and perform given hydraulic functions. The ratio of the permeances of the two magnetic paths, created by dedicated coaxial coils, is controlled such that one path always overpowers the other by an amount greater than the mechanical gradients of a pair of snap blades in hydraulic fluid filled cavities, to insure plunger movement in either direction.

Abstract: A high speed electromagnetically actuated electromechanical switch is provided by a bistable electric snap blade operated by an electromagnetic actuator. A magnetically permeable yoke directs the flux paths of a pair of coaxial coils. An armature plunger shuttles axially reciprocally in the coils between first and second positions. The snap blade has a pair of cantilever arms extending towards each other to engage the armature plunger in the gap therebetween for lateral flexing actuation. Energization of a given coil provides a primary flux path around that coil through the yoke and the armature plunger, and provides a secondary flux path around both coils through the yoke and the armature plunger. The primary flux path force around either coil is always stronger than the secondary path.

Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator is provided by an armature plunger which reciprocally shuttles between magnetic paths having common overlapping portions through the plunger. A magnetically permeable yoke directs the flux paths of a pair of coaxial coils. When either coil is energized, a first flux path is created around that coil through the plunger and a second flux path is created around both coils through the plunger. The first path pulls the plunger to close an axial magnetic air gap. The second path holds the plunger in place. The ratio of the permeances of the two paths is controlled such that one path always overpowers the other, to insure plunger movement in either direction.

Abstract: A varying voltage is applied across a coil of a contactor. The varying voltage has a characteristic (frequency) which varies as a function of the position of the armature. The varying voltage is transmitted to a coupler which transmits information to a controller. The coupler may include one or more light sources (LEDs) which are sequentially energized and de-energized to sequentially render a phototransistor conducting and nonconducting. The frequency of the output from the coupler corresponds to the frequency at which the phototransistor is changed between the conducting and nonconducting conditions. A controller determines whether the frequency of the output from the coupler corresponds to the intended position of the armature of the contactor or to an unintended position by comparing the frequency of the output from the coupler to known frequencies for various positions of the armature.

Abstract: An improved electromagnetic apparatus includes a core and an armature which is movable relative to the core. A shading ring is connected with the core to provide magnetic flux which is out of phase with magnetic flux from the core. The shading ring includes a base formed a first metal and a layer of a second metal clad to the base. The first metal forming the base work hardens and has a greater resistance to fatigue failure induced by vibration than the second metal of the layer which is clad to the base. However, the second metal forming the clad layer has a greater electrical conductivity than the first metal of the base. The base may be formed of aluminum and the layer of metal clad to the base may be formed of copper. The layer of copper may be clad to the base by an extrusion process.

Abstract: A contactor has an armature, a pull-in coil and a holding coil. When the system is energized through a first switch such as a thermostat, the low current holding coil is energized in preparation for holding the armature pulled in after the pull-in coil is energized and the armature has finished its power stroke. A solid-state switching device and the pull-in coil are connected in series between both terminals of a power source. A control circuit causes the solid-state switching device to be conductive the instant power is supplied to the circuit through the first switch. One embodiment of the control circuit is based on logic gates. RC circuits associated with the gates keep the solid-state switching device and pull-in coil conducting long enough for the armature to pull-in. After the solid-state switching device turns on, the transistor is controlled to turn off, deenergizing the pull-in coil while the holding coil holds the armature in until the first switch opens and power input is discontinued. Another embodiment, based on a programmable timer, delivers current pulses to the pull-in coil at uniform periodicity until the armature is pulled in. After the armature is pulled in, pulse signals are shunted from the solid-state switching device so it turns off, and current pulses through the pull-in coil are discontinued, while the holding coil holds the armature in pulled-in condition until the first switch is opened.

Abstract: A tool for removing a snap-in bushing type toggle switch or the like from a hole in a mounting panel. The tool is molded of plastic material and is provided with a spring-biased self-opening slidable chuck snap-in assembled within a compressor tube and is adapted to squeeze the snap-in collar or skirt of the snap-in bushing so that it becomes released from the mounting panel. The outer compressor tube having a mushroom handle at one end is adapted to slide forwardly over the chuck to compress or squeeze it and the snap-in collar therewithin. A spring-biased ejector pin slidable within the chuck is depressed by the toggle lever of the switch and is loaded by its spring compressed by the compressor tube and serves to snap the switch from the panel hole upon release of the snap-in collar.A first version has an integrally-molded resilient lug on the chuck that snaps out into an elongated slot in the compressor tube wall to snap-in assemble the chuck within the compressor tube for limited sliding movement. A second version has an integrally-molded hook on the chuck that slides along a groove in the compressor tube to engage a catch to snap-in assemble the chuck within the compressor tube for limited sliding movement.
