Abstract

1,096,824. Piezo-electric and electro-strictive relays. PLESSEY-UK Ltd. March 17, 1965 [March 26, 1964], No. 12971/64. Heading H2B. A relay comprises a piezo-electric or electrostrictive member 12 carrying a contact or contacts 15 engageable with a contact or contacts 16 on body 11 according to the polarity of the voltage applied at electrodes 13, variable magnetic biasing being provided by a magnet 20 attracting an armature 14 on member 12, Fig. 1, or a magnetic element 21 included in the member 12, Fig. 4. A U-shaped magnet 20 holds member 12 in either contactmaking position and also provides for snapactuation of the contacts. Magnet 20 is slidably mounted, Fig. 4, to vary the magnetic interaction between the barium ferrite magnet 20 and the steel shim 21 in the bimorph element or member 12. Bimorph 12 is of lead zirconate titanate strips which have been polarized.
