2 Claims. (Cl. 173-324)- The invention here disclosed relates to contact terminals such as used on the starter switches for fluorescent lamps.
- Terminals of this type usually have the wires of the switch or other device secured thereto by solderlng.- These soldered connections are ob- Jectionable as time-consuming and relatively expensive and they are not always satisfactory since the effectiveness of the joint depends entirely upon the care and skill of the operator making these soldered connections.
Objects of the present invention are to do away entirely with these soldered connections and to secure the wires to the terminals wholly by mechanical means and means of such a character as will insure both mechanically and electrically perfect connections.
Other related objects are to provide a solderiess connection for terminal contacts which can be quickly and easily made up by unskilled labor at relatively low cost. i
- Other objects and the novel features by which the purposes of the invention are attained are set forth or will appear in the course of the following specification. I I
The drawing accompanying and forming of the specification illustrates some of the present forms of the invention but it is to be understood that structure may be further modified and changed, all within the true intent and broad scope of the invention as hereinafter defined and claimed.
In the drawing, Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a starter switch having the invention incorporated in the contact terminals of the same:
Fig. 2 is an enlarged broken sectional detail of the contact terminal shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view of the terminal 'as on substantially the plane. of line 3-3 of Fig. 2:
Figs. 4, 5, 6 and 7 are broken sectional views illustrating other, modified forms of the invention; v
Fig. 8 is a'detail view of a form of securing element which may be used in the terminal.
Fig. 9 is a broken sectional detail of another embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 1 illustrates a fluorescent lamp starter switch having a base portion i and contact terminals ll. These terminals, only one of which appears in Fig. 1, as to external appearance and operation may be the same as in general use, that is,'with a projecting, stem portion i2 and an enlarged contact head i3.
Also, as appears more fully in Fig. 2, the body of the terminal first shown is of typical design I art 2 in that it is of tubular form having a passage It extending entirely therethrough. This passage is to receive the wire or wires extending from the switch parts, in this particular instance one wire it from the glow switch II and one wire II from the condenser it.
These two wires are of considerably smaller diameter than the passage in the terminal post and so can be readily inserted in said passage.
The present invention involves the securing of these inserted wires, substantially for the full length of passage ll, instead of Just at the outer end as by the usual soldered joint, by a driven fastening, in the nature of a tack II.
This tack element may be of copper or other relatively soft, deformable, good conducting material. Preferably it may be pointed as indicated at 10, and it may have a head as at ii.
In this first form of the invention the parts are assembled by inserting the wires through the back end of the stud and then driving the elongated terminal tack it in through the front end of the stud to crush and squeeze the wires against the side wall of the bore it, more or less after the manner indicated in the cross sectional view, Fig. 3. After being driven fully through the passage the pointed projectingend of the tack,
The wedge pin is may be of circular, angular or other cross sectional shape best suited to effecting a crushing, squeezing engagement of the wire or wires in the passage.
This new form of connection is particularly suitable for a two-wire Joint since, as indicated in Fig. 3, the wedge will then normally and naturally effect a more or less balanced threepoint physical engagement of the members, that is, the two wires and the wedge pin, in the bore,
assuring firm, positive engagement and securing of each and all these three elements.
If desired, the trimming of the wires may be effected as a part of the operation of driving the fastener.
Thus as shown in Fig. 4, the tack-like fastener may have a sharply cornered lower edge 23 which and shearing of! of any excess in the length of the wire or wires being fastened.
In the Fig. construction, substantially the same results are accomplished by forming the head I! of the drive pin with a chisel-like lower corner edge II to cooperate with the more or less flat floor It of the cavity 22.
Fig. 6 showshow the wire cut-ofi' may be effected by using a punch 21 for driving the wire fastening and by providing the punch head with a sharp edged annular flange 28 which will enter the cavity and cooperate with the bottom wall of the same to sever any projecting wire ends.
If greater surface area' is desired at the contact end of the terminal, such end of the terminal may be left closed. as indicated at 29, Fig. 7, and in such event the wedge pin I8 is inserted and driven in from the opposite, wire end of the terminal. In this view also the wedge pin is illustrated as of headless construction.
If additional mechanical interlock is desired, the wedge pin may be grooved, roughened or the like. In the case of grooving, such grooves may run longitudinally, be inclined or be more or less helical, after the manner indicated at in Fig.8.
The invention provides a quick, easy and secure way of making mechanical and electrical connections between wires and the contacts to which they are to carry or to receive current from. The wires are positively gripped substantially the full length of the passage in the terminal stud, with extensive metal-to-metal surface engagement between the wires, terminal stud and wedge, and similarly the wedge, which is of good contacting material, has substantially full length extensive surface engagement with the stud. Full electrical conductivity is therefore assured with no introduced resistance. Also the full length securing of the wires braces and reinforces these wires so that in the case of a starter switch such as illustrated, they can more firmly and reliably support and position necessary elements such as shown. such as the glow switch and condenser parts.
Actually in many cases the wedge or securing pin l8 need not be of conducting material. This is true where care is taken to effect full engagemerit of the wire with the wall of the passage in the contact or terminal member and the pin is employed only or primarily to fix the wire in engagement with the wall of the passage. Also, the connecting pin need not necessarily be of relatively soft, deformable material. It may in fact be hard enough to effect a deformation of the conducting wire against the wall of the passage.
An example of a case in which it is desirable to have the wire securing-pin of metal and oi good conducting metal is illustrated in Fig. 9 where the terminal I: is shown as constructed with less than the full contact head I3 and the head 2la of the connecting pin Iii is widened to take the place of and constitute in fact the con- In cases where the sole purpose is to mechansuch constructions it is usually preferable to have the connecting pin ll of good conducting material to serve as an electrical connection between the wires as well as the means for wedging and binding the wires in their mechanically connected engagement in the wire receiving passage. In carrying out the operations illustrated in Figs. 4, 5 and 6, the wires are pinched or sheared by the head of the fastener or the driving tool. This pinching or shearing action cuts or weakens the wires so that the projecting portions will either drop off or may be easily broken loose. Thus the wires are in effect automatically and uniformly terminated, where they should be, right at the end of the terminal and without leaving any projecting portions such as might interfere with the proper engagement of such terminal with the coacting contact in a receptacle or the like. The heads of the studs or tacks used for the fasteners vary to some extent in size due to inaccuracies in manufacture, and such variations may affect the extent to which the wires are actually cut, sheared or indented, but in all instances the shearing action is sufficient to weaken the wires to the extent that they will uniformly separate at this point.
Further details of method and mechanism for uniting the parts are disclosed and covered in copending application for patent, Serial No. 678,557, filed June 22, 1946.
