Emergency switch

Claim 1

A SAFETY SWITCH FOR USE WITH A MOTOR VEHICLE HAVING A BATTERY, A CABLE LEADING FROM SAID BATTERY, A FIRST LINE CONTACT CONNECTED TO SAID CABLE, A SECOND LINE CONTACT, AND A PLURALITY OF VEHICLE AND ACCESSORY OPERATING ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS CONNECTED TO SAID SECOND LINE CONTACT, SAID SAFETY SWITCH COMPRISING A CONTACT BRIDGING MEMBER POSITIONED BETWEEN SAID FIRST AND SECOND LINE CONTACTS, A RECIPROCABLE ROD CARRYING SAID BRIDGING MEMBER AND COMPRISING A FIRST SOLENOID CORE, A FIRST SOLENOID COIL SURROUNDING SAID ROD, A LATCHING NOTCH IN SAID ROD, ENERGIZATION OF SAID FIRST SOLENOID COIL MOVING SAID CONTACT BRIDGING MEMBER TO LINE CONTACT BRIDGING POSITION TO ENERGIZE SAID PLURALITY OF CIRCUITS FROM SAID BATTERY; FIRST SPRING MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID ROD NORMALLY BIASING SAID CONTACT BRIDGING MEMBER OUT OF ENGAGEMENT WITH SAID FIRST AND SECOND LINE CONTACTS, A SECOND SOLENOID COIL MOUNTED ADJACENT SAID FIRST SOLENOID COIL, A SECOND SOLENOID CORE IN SAID SECOND COIL, LATCH MEANS ENGAGEABLE WITH SAID LATCHING NOTCH CONNECTED TO SAID SECOND SOLENOID CORE. SECOND SPRING MEANS NORMALLY BIASING SAID LATCH MEANS INTO ENGAGEMENT WITH SAID LATCHING NOTCH, A MICROSWITCH HAVING AN INPUT TERMINAL AND TWO OUTPUT TERMINALS MOUNTED ADJACENT SAID SOLENOID COIL, SAID MICROSWITCH BEING MOVABLE TO CLOSE A CIRCUIT TO ONE OR THE OTHER OF SAID OUTPUT TERMINALS, AN ENERGIZING WIRE LEADING FROM SAID FIRST LINE CONTACT TO SAID INPUT TERMINAL OF SAID MICROSWITCH, A LINE EXTENDING FROM ONE MICROSWITCH OUTPUT TERMINAL TO SAID FIRST SOLENOID COIL, A LINE EXTENDING FROM THE OTHER MICROSWITCH OUTPUT TERMINAL TO SAID SECOND SOLENOID COIL, A SPRING PRESSED MICROSWITCH OPERATING BUTTON NORMALLY BIASING SAID MICROSWITCH TOWARD SAID FIRST SOLENOID ENERGIZING POSITION, AND LOCATED ADJACENT SAID LATCH MEANS, SAID BUTTON BEING HELD IN FIRST SOLENOID COIL ENERGIZING POSITION BY SAID LATCH MEANS WHEN DISENGAGED FROM SAID GROOVE, MOVEMENT OF SAID LATCH MEANS INTO GROOVE ENGAGING POSITION RELEASING SAID BUTTON TO MOVE SAID MICROSWITCH TO SECOND SOLENOID COIL ENERGIZING POSITION, THUS DE-ENERGIZING SAID FIRST SOLENOID COIL, ENERGIZATION OF SAID SECOND SOLENOID COIL MOVING SAID LATCH MEANS TO ENGAGE SAID BUTTON, AND MOVE SAID SWITCH TO FIRST SOLENOID COIL ENERGIZING POSITION THUS DE-ENERGIZING SAID SECOND SOLENOID COIL, A MANUAL SWITCH MOUNTED ADJACENT SAID MICROSWITCH AND HAVING A PAIR OF TERMINALS, SAID MANUAL SWITCH BEING MOVABLE TO CLOSE A CIRCUIT TO EITHER ONE OF SAID PAIR OF TERMINALS AND HAVING A NEUTRAL POSITION, A LINE EXTENDING FROM SAID FIRST SOLENOID COIL TO ONE OF SAID TERMINALS, A LINE EXTENDING FROM SAID SECOND SOLENOID COIL TO THE OTHER OF SAID TERMINALS WHEREBY MOVEMENT OF SAID MANUAL SWITCH TO ONE POSITION WILL CLOSE A CIRCUIT FROM SAID BATTERY TO SAID FIRST SOLENOID COIL TO BRIDGE SAID LINE CONTACTS, AND MOVEMENT OF SAID MANUAL SWITCH TO ITS OTHER POSITION WILL, THROUGH SAID MICROSWITCH, INSTANTLY BREAK THE CIRCUIT TO SAID FIRST SOLENOID COIL AND CLOSE THE CIRCUIT TO SAID SECOND SOLENOID COIL, RELEASING SAID LATCH MEANS, PERMITTING SAID FIRST SPRING MEANS TO MOVE SAID LINE CONTACT BRIDGING MEMBER TO NON-BRIDGING POSITION, INSTANTLY DE-ENERGIZING ALL OF SAID VEHICLE AND ACCESSORY OPERATING CIRCUITS, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY DE-ENERGIZING SAID SECOND SOLENOID COIL BY MOVEMENT OF SAID MICROSWITCH AND ESTABLISHING A CIRCUIT THROUGH THE MICROSWITCH TO SAID FIRST SOLENOID READY TO BE ENERGIZED UPON MOVEMENT OF SAID MANUAL SWITCH.
