Position indicating electric switch

Claim 1

A POSITION INDICATING ELECTRIC SWITCH WHICH COMPRISES A CAPSULE OF NON-CONDUCTIVE, NON-MAGNETIZABLE MATERIAL, A PAIR OF MAGNETIZABLE ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE REEDS SEALED IN SAID CAPSULE, HAVING SPACED, OVERLAPPING, PORTIONS WHEN NOT MAGNETIZED AND BIASED INTO CONTACT WHEN MAGNETIZED AND HAVING TERMINALS OUTSIDE SAID CAPSULE, A MOVABLE PERMANENT MAGNET HAVING A MAGNETIC FLUX SUFFICIENT TO MAGNETIZE SAID REEDS TO DRAW SAID REEDS INTO CONTACT, SAID MAGNET BEING OUTSIDE SAID CAPSULE AND MOVABLE TO A POSITION TO MAGNETIZE SAID REEDS TO DRAW THEIR OVERLAPPING PORTIONS INTO CONTACT AND MOVABLE TO A POSITION TO RELEASE SAID REEDS FROM CONTACT, AND A SOLENOID ENCIRCLING SAID CAPSULE AND BETWEEN SAID CAPSULE AND SAID MOVABLE MAGNET TO PRODUCE, WHEN ENERGIZED, A MAGNETIC FIELD OF A POLARITY AND MAGNETIC FLUX SUFFICIENT TO NEUTRALIZE THE MAGNETIC FLUX OF SAID MOVABLE MAGNET THROUGH SAID REEDS THEREBY TO DEMAGNETIZE SAID REEDS, SAID POSITION OF SAID MAGNET WHEREIN THE REEDS ARE IN CONTACT BEING SUCH THAT ONE POLE OF SAID MAGNET IS ORIENTATED ADJACENT TO THE TERMINAL PORTION OF ONE OF SAID REEDS WITH SAID MAGNET EXTENDING PARALLEL TO AND IN THE DIRECTION OF THE OUTERMOST EXTREMITY OF THE TERMINAL PORTION OF SAID ONE REED, SAID POSITION OF SAID MAGNET INDUCING A MAGNETIC POLARITY ACROSS SAID REEDS THE SAME AS THAT MAGNETIC POLARITY PRODUCED BY SAID SOLENOID WHEN ENERGIZED, WHEREBY SAID MAGNET, WHEN IN REED OPERATING POSITION, IS REMAGNETIZED BY SAID SOLENOID.
