ABSTRACT:
A fluid pressure device for detecting two or more fluid pressure levels from a varied range of fluid pressure includes a housing having a cylindrical bore and a pressure inlet in communication therewith. A piston member is reciprocably movable within the cylindrical bore. A piston rod extends from the piston member and projects outward of the housing where a switch-operating arrangement is secured. The switch-operating arrangement includes an interlocking arm and a number of blocking elements corresponding to the number of switch devices to be operated. Guide slots formed in the interlocking arm allow adjustment of the position of the blocking elements, thus affecting a change in the operating points of the switch devices. Surrounding the piston rod within the housing is a multiple-spring arrangement which opposes the movement of the piston and which exhibits a nonlinear spring coefficient. The multiple-spring arrangement includes a plurality of springs arranged serially and a plurality of middle body members disposed between the plurality of springs for limiting the compression on the plurality of springs.
