1,009,731. Thermal switches; cam-operated switches; control systems for heating resistors- ROBERTSHAW CONTROLS CO. Jan. 16, 1963 [Jan. 23, 1962], No. 2042/63. Headings H2B and H2H. A control device for an electric oven having a " bake " heating element and a " broil " heating element comprises a control dial on a dial shaft 54 for adjusting the setting of a temperature responsive element 30 which has a stationary base part 40 and a movable stem 38 operating contacts 124, 126, in the " broil " circuit in advance of contacts 138, 140, in the " bake circuit. A cam 70 on shaft 54 engages a cam follower 82, Fig. 6, on an L- shaped member 94, 96, pivotally supported in a tapered slot 98 of cover 24 of the switch assembly such that the movement of cam 70 as shaft 54 rotates is transmitted through portion 96 and a push-rod 102 to a resilient contact-carrying arm 108 of a further pair of contacts 110, 112, in the " bake " circuit. Continued movement of rod 102 first opens contacts 110, 112 and then further contacts 109, 111, in the " broil " circuit at the " off " position of the control dial, in which position the element 30 has been set by shaft 54 such that stem 38 has opened both contact pairs 124, 126 and 138, 140, Fig. 7. In one " on " position of cam 70 contacts 109, 111 and 110, 112 are biased closed and " broil " contacts 124, 126 held open so that the " bake " element only is energized, the " bake " contacts 138, 140 cycle on and off under control of temperature responsive element 30 when the pre-set " bake " heat is attained. In a second " on " position of cam 70, contacts 109, 111 and 110, 112 are biased closed and both heating elements are energized until stem 38 opens " broil " contacts 124, 126 with increase of temperature and causes " bake " contacts 138, 140 to cycle on and off at a pre-set higher temperature. In a third " on " portion of cam 70, the " bake " contacts 110, 112 are kept open and the "broil" element only is energized, the " broil " contacts 124, 126 undergoing thermostatically controlled cycling when the pre-set " broil " " temperature is attained. An adjustable abutment screw 146 carried by the arm 122 carrying contact 138 determines the point at which contacts 138, 140 open after the arm 120 carrying contact 124 is moved by stem 38 to open contacts 124, 126, in response to movement of thermally responsive element 30, which is of the tube-and-capsule type construction. |
