referring now particularly to fig1 and 2 , the series switch 10 includes a generally rectangular body 24 with coaxial connector portions 54 and 56 in a horizontal plane which can be switched from a coaxial feeder line connected to a connector 58 at the bottom as shown in fig2 . said body 24 has a plurality of through bolt holes 57 which permit the ganging of a plurality of coaxial switches . the body 24 has an inner cavity 60 created by a longitudinal cylindrical through bore 62 , a cylindrical through bore 27 in the bottom perpendicular to longitudinal bore 62 , and the slide contact assembly guide 66 on the top . the switch is designed so that the cavity 60 maintains the absolute integrity of the impedence in a coaxial line system . the top cover plate 23 of the body 24 has a toggle assembly 11 fastened to it by a plurality of screw fasteners 48 . brass plugs 87 or retainers may be pressed into the cavity above the fasteners 48 as shown in fig9 . a silicon rubber adhesive 33 may be placed between the top cover plate 23 and the body 24 to insure the water tight integrity of the switch 10 . apertures 49 are tapped holes that may be used in connecting the switch 10 to a control panel in conjunction with fasteners 13 and 15 . when fastened to a panel by screws in said holes 49 , the switch 10 will not rotate . the biasing spring 16 forces the handle 14 against the toggle assembly 11 and allows pivoting of handle 14 without the use of fasteners , thus eliminating chips from falling into inner cavity 60 . female pins 26 , 32 , and 38 are held in the connector portions 54 , 56 , and 58 by insulators 28 , 30 , 34 , 36 , 40 , and 42 . the outer insulators 28 , 34 , and 40 are counter - sunk to permit the pin flange to be flush with the inner end of the outer insulators 28 , 34 , and 40 thereby preventing an air gap between the outer insulators 28 , 34 , and 40 and the inner insulators 30 , 36 , and 42 . the pin flange 74 , 76 , and 78 prevents the female pins 26 , 32 , and 38 from being pushed out of the insulators 28 , 30 , 34 , 36 , 40 and 42 when connecting coaxial cables to the connectors 54 , 56 , and 58 . o - rings 55 may be inserted against flanges 74 , 76 , and 78 to seal the cavity 60 against moisture . the outer insulators 28 , 34 , and 40 have a middle section with a larger diameter than the ends . this larger diameter middle section prevents the outer insulators 28 , 34 , and 40 from being pushed into the inner cavity 60 by stopping against a smaller through bore . the outer insulators 28 , 34 , and 40 are prevented from being retracted from the connectors 54 , 56 , and 58 by rings 46 , 47 , and 45 which fit into machined grooves inside the connectors 54 , 56 , and 58 and have a smaller inside diameter than the diameter of the middle section of the outer insulators 28 , 34 , and 40 . the singular design of body 24 allows the connectors 54 , 56 , and 58 to be silver soldered to the body as shown in fig2 at flange 59 . the inner ends of the female pins 26 , 32 , and 38 protrude into the inner cavity 50 and are cut along an axial plane 80 , in a generally slotted configuration to allow the slide contact 50 to connect the feeder line connector 58 to a load connected to one of the horizontal connectors 54 and 56 . low cross talk is accomplished because of the low capacitance due to the slide contact 50 facing the air gap of the axial cut in the pins 26 and 38 as illustrated in fig4 . the slide contact 50 is always captively in contact with the bottom feeder line pin 32 since the slide contact assembly 44 is restricted from moving in an upward direction by the toggle handle 14 and the downward force exerted on the contact assembly ball 20 by the spring 16 . the slide contact assembly 44 is restricted in its lateral movement by the slide contact assembly guide 66 and the slide contact insulator guide 82 . this restriction insures a positive connection between the slide contact 50 and the horizontal female pins 26 and 38 . when the toggle handle 14 is in the phantom line position 14 &# 39 ; to the left , the slide contact 50 has moved into the inner axial cut 80 of the right horizontal female pin 38 , shown in phantom thereby connecting the right coaxial cable load to the feeder line . the toggle handle 14 is prevented from moving from its selected position by the force of the spring 16 against the contact assembly ball 20 unless positive operator action is taken to move the toggle handle 14 to the right . the toggle handle 14 is prevented from remaining in the neutral position by the toggle handle post 22 which raises the toggle handle 14 off of the slide contact insulator 52 when the toggle handle 14 is in a vertical position thereby causing the handle 14 to become unstable and seek a positive position to the left 14 &# 39 ; or right 14 &# 34 ;. when the switch is used in high - humidity environments , moisture is prevented from entering the inner cavity 60 ; first , by the handle 14 being biased against the top of the toggle assembly 11 , second , by the slide contact insulator 82 sealing the inner cavity 60 , and third , by the flexible boot 25 which is secured over the handle 14 by an internal threaded ring threaded onto the threaded portion of the toggle assembly 11 , the o - rings 55 and the gasket 33 between the top cover plate 23 and the body 24 . this sealing gives a military specification to a switch in regard to salt spray tests for reliability . it should be noted that the two holes 57 in the side of body 24 allow ganging of a plurality of switches . the bodies may be ganged in various series arrangements to make spdt , dpdt , tpdt devices as illustrated in fig5 , and 8 . a gang bar 100 may be connected to two or more independent toggle assemblies 11 . the bar 100 includes apertures 102 for receiving handles 14 . the bar 100 is secured to the handles 14 by fastening means 104 through apertures 102 . the cover plates 23 may be easily removed and changed to add ganging features . also the cover plate 23 may be easily removed to remove the toggle switch in order to replace it by a solenoid operated device . the erector set ability of body 24 and the removability of the switch for altering the device when ganged or for solenoid control are additional features of this device . further , in dpdt switches a terminating resistor , not shown , may be built in using 50 , 75 , or 100 ohm noninductive resistors for example . such a switch can terminate a coaxial line , as in video applications . this may be done by removing the slotted , u - shaped pin and replacing it with a resistor to terminate a coaxial line . as illustrated in fig7 when the switches are ganged and the toggle assembly 11 and upper plates 23 are removed , a single toggle 11 &# 39 ; and upper plate 23 &# 39 ; may be used . internally a bar will connect each knife member as shown in fig4 to the single handle 14 movable from above the upper plate 23 &# 39 ;. the upper plate would be twice as high and all the upper ball members ( as shown in fig4 ) are connected to a common bar with an upper ball that is actuated by a single handle . in fig6 if a solenoid is used , the toggle assembly 11 on body 24 &# 39 ;&# 34 ; is removed and replaced by a solenoid means . the solenoid means is two pull type solenoids 106 and 108 designed to be screwed into the switching assembly 10 against o - rings 112 . a common push - pull rod 114 extends into both solenoids and includes a mover 116 having a socket 118 that moves ball 120 . this arrangement allows the solenoid coils to be replaced without changing the rod 114 . the solenoid may be energized into a first or second position . the disclosed switch will handle up to 1 , 000 watts of r . f . power . it should be noted that the handle of the toggle may be replaced by a well known aircraft type locking detent . fig1 discloses the toggle lock arrangement that allows the coaxial line 130 to be stripped and placed in the body 24 . when the locking means 131 is screwed into the body 24 it locks the line into the switch . gaskets 132 are used to waterproof the device . the switch system concept of the erector set switch provides unlimited configurations for switch requirement . this ability allows the system to be built by the silver soldering of any one of a plurality of connectors to be mated with the main body . this reduces the stock on hand of the connectors . this arrangement reduces the weight of the switch that is important in aircraft applications . therefore , literally thousands of switching arrangements may be used . the body 24 is zinc dicasting , premachining brass , navel brass and stainless steel . this allows the switch to be used in all known applications . the instant invention has been shown and described herein in what is considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment . it is recognized , however , that departures may be made therefrom within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art .
