ABSTRACT:
A variable differential switching apparatus comprising first structure for forming first and second magnetic fields presented sequentially along a travel path, the first field being stronger than the second field; and second structure, including a field responsive element, presented for relative travel along the path in opposite directions, the element and fields and travel path characterized in that as the element encounters the first field during relative travel in one of the directions in unlatched condition, the element is displaced by the first field into a latched condition, and as the element encounters the second field, it remains in the latched condition, and as the element continues to relatively travel in the first direction beyond the second field, it returns to unlatched condition; the element and fields further characterized in that as the element travels oppositely along the travel path, it remains in unlatched condition as the element encounters the second field, and thereafter as the element encounters the first field, the element is displaced into latched condition, and as the element continues to relatively travel in the opposite direction, and beyond the first field, it returns to unlatched condition.
