ABSTRACT:
A pneumatically actuated switching device comprises a pneumatic bulb including a base plate for anchoring the bulb by frictional contact with surfaces in contact therewith. The base plate further having pneumatic seal about an outer periphery thereof, and an actuator dome having a convexly extended pneumatic activation wall supported by an outer peripheral annular rim engaged with the base plate for pneumatic sealing with the seal to define a pneumatic pump chamber. The bulb further including a conduct for conducting a quantity of air pressurized by operation of the dome and, electrically conductive switch responsive to the discharge of a volume of air pressurized by the pneumatic bulb for producing a corresponding electrical signal. The activation wall of the dome includes a circular ring wall section having at the inside diameter thereof a depressed projecting central wall from where there extends a support post at the inside of the actuator dome for maintaining elasticity of the pneumatic pumping chamber acted on by the circular ring. The base plate includes an array of protrusions for anchoring of the pneumatic bulb.
