ABSTRACT:
An adjustable pressure switch is disclosed which has a generally cylindrical plastic case with a cylindrical cavity formed in one side. A mating, cylindrical pressure plate fits within the cavity and is spaced away from the bottom of the cavity by a resilient annular member. A top electrical contact member is mounted to the pressure plate and a bottom electrical contact member is mounted in the case, with the two contact members being normally maintained in spaced relation by the resilient member. A compression ring fitting within a groove in the cavity in the case holds the pressure plate firmly in position. Force applied to the pressure plate urges the same toward the bottom of the cavity until the two contact members make electrical contact. The amount of force required to close the switches can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the top contact member, formed as a set screw threaded into the pressure plate, or by selecting the shape or material of the resilient annular member.
