Description

  • This invention relates to an inertia device for interrupting the electrical circuit of vehicles with internal combustion engines, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • An inertia device is known for interrupting the electrical connection between the battery and the power line of an internal combustion engine vehicle in the case of accidents of a certain gravity in order to reduce the risk of fire.
  • The known device comprises an electromagnet acting on an armature hinged to the device casing and arranged to break the electrical connection. This armature comprises a metal or tongue part which is pulled by the electromagnet and is rigid with one end of a ring or rod movable against a spring and carrying the movable contact which effectively makes and breaks said electrical connection. Specifically, the pushbutton comprises chordal projections which, depending on the state of the electrical connection, engage against abutment surfaces provided at different axial distances in seats present in said plastics ring. A compression spring operates in an opposite position to the metal tongue in an eccentric part of said ring, and bears against the casing.
  • This known device has certain drawbacks, as follows:
    • a) assembly is relatively difficult as the pushbutton has to be inserted into the plastics ring of the armature and the combination mounted in one of the half-casings of which the casing is formed, against the action of springs acting both on the armature and on the pushbutton, these springs being difficult to seat and tending to snap out into the surroundings.
    • b) in particular situations the plastics-plastics contact (between diametrical projections on the pushbutton and ring, and the seats with which the projections cooperate) does not sufficiently reliably ensure disengagement between the two, with consequent faulty breaking of the electrical connection.
  • In the case of fire in the vehicle, the said plastics-plastics combination can lead to jamming of the device.
  • The aforesaid drawbacks are obviated by the features claimed in the characterizing portion of claim 1.
  • The invention will be more apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
    • Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of the inertia device of the invention with one of its two half-casings removed; and
    • Figure 2 is a perspective schematic view of the armature.
  • In the figures the reference numeral 1 indicates one of the two half-casings forming the casing of the inertia interruption device of the invention. The figure shows the fixed input and output contacts 2 and 3 respectively, to be connected together by a movable contact 4 mounted movable (against a spring 5 and with its travel limited by split rings) on a cylindrical plastics rod or pushbutton 6. Against the lower end of the pushbutton there acts a compression spring 7 which bears against the base 1A of the casing.
  • In the casing there are provided an inertia switch 8 for example of the type manufactured by First Inertia Switch Ltd. and an electromagnet 9, preferably with a movable core 9A.
  • Half way along its length the rod or pushbutton 6 comprises two projections 10 situated on a chord (and not on a diameter) of the rod 6 and delimited upperly (with reference to Figure 1) by an upwardly inclined surface or face 11, to give a partly wedge-shaped appearance to the projections in question.
  • All this is known, as is the electrical schematic diagram of the device (see for example Italian utility model 198,205 filed on 30.5.84).
  • Also known is the fact that said projections 10 assume two different levels within seats or apertures 30 provided in the armature of the electromagnet, according to whether the movable contact 4 is closed or open, but it is also known that the traditional armatures described at the beginning of this text suffer from drawbacks, which are eliminated by the armature with the improved and innovative form of the present invention.
  • The armature of the invention, indicated overall by 12, is entirely metallic, is of ferromagnetic sheet metal and is supported - via its lateral projections 14 bent for example to form a tube - in supports 13 (only one is visible partly in Figure 2) fixed for example by screws to the electromagnet, for example to its lower flange. The armature 12 comprises a part 15 lying above the electromagnet and provided with a profiled aperture 30A in which there is positioned a reduced cross-section part 9B of the movable core 9A, which is followed by a head 9C to be able to pull the armature downwards. Above the head 9C there is an elastic pushbutton 16 by which the armature can be pushed towards the electromagnet.
  • The armature comprises a downwardly bent part 17, from which there branch mutually parallel, substantially flat right angled flanges 22 comprising identical stop seats arranged symmetrically about the central plane A-A and having the shape and function of those of the said conventional devices, ie to halt the projections 10 (with which they cooperate) in two positions at different levels, corresponding to closure and opening of the movable contact 4.
  • A tension spring 20 positioned between the armature 12 and, for example, the electromagnet applies a moment to the electromagnet.
  • The described arrangement considerably facilitates assembly in that the rod is simply interposed between the two flanges or cheeks 17 of the armature, the armature is of metal in a single piece, and is supported directly or possibly indirectly by the electromagnet, to ensure reliable operation when the inertia device is effectively required to operate.
