ABSTRACT:
A solenoid device is provided which includes a bobbin having an armature bore through its center; a plunger partially extending into the bore and serving as an armature of the solenoid; and a coil wound around the bobbin for generating magnetic flux to move the plunger axially in the bore. The plunger includes a first segment which moves axially in the bore of the bobbin in response to magnetic flux generated by the coil. The plunger also includes a second segment which serves as the latching device for the locking mechanism. Finally, the plunger includes a linkage connecting the first and second segments together and mounting devices for mounting the linkage to the first and second segments. This linkage pivots in response to a compressive force applied to the plunger and engages a stop disposed proximate the plunger, preventing the second segment from moving out of a latching position.
