DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to a switching device and more particularly, the present disclosure relates to an improved switching assembly with provisions to accommodate front plate of different designs.

BACKGROUND

Switch assemblies are electrical devices that are configured to switch electrical appliances ON or OFF by closing or opening an electrical circuit. Switch assemblies include components such as contacts, and switch body components that facilitate the flow of electrical current. Also, a wiring harness that holds the switch and provides a location for electricity to enter or exit. Switch body components include a base plate, and a cover plate installed over the based frame by way of snap-fit mechanism. Generally, a cover plate or a front plate includes a flat design to make a switch board according to the room aesthetics, the whole cover plate needs to be replaced. Alternatively, the cover plate is coupled with another plate to match the room's aesthetics and therefore, reduce overall manufacturing cost.

There are some limitations associated with the current design of the cover plate. For instance, the current design employs a separate front plate and the cover plate adapted to be glued together using collared fittings over the cover plate. Such design, firstly, utilizes greater number of components to be jointed while installing a switch board. Secondly, the attachment mechanism of the separate front plate, i.e., glass plate, with the cover plate becomes a cumbersome task while matching the aesthetics of the room with the switch board and may be susceptible to breakage while trying to remove and replace the glass plate from the cover plate. Moreover, the use of a greater number of parts increases the overall cost, and increases the installation and the maintenance cost of the switch assembly. Therefore, there is need for a switch assembly having a cover plate that can be utilized with multiple front plate designs without gluing or collar fitting.

SUMMARY

This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention. This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.

The present disclosure relates to a switch assembly. The switch assembly includes a base plate. The base plate includes a slotted section and a plurality of holes adjacent to the slotted section of the base plate. The plurality of holes are square shaped elongated channels with ends converging to have a firm lock. The slotted section is adapted to receive a rocker assembly. The base plate corresponds to an inner plate having at least two holes integrated on the either side of the base plate. The at least two holes are adapted to receive one or more fasteners to install the base plate to an electrical fitting. Further, the switch assembly includes a cover plate that is snapped over the base plate. The cover plate includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is cast with a grooved section on either end of the cover plate. The grooved section includes at least two ends that extend orthogonally outwards from the first surface.

The second surface includes a plurality of snaps and each of the plurality of snaps extends orthogonally outwards from the second surface. The plurality of snaps is configured to be received by the plurality of holes of the base plate. The plurality of holes of the base plate holds the plurality of snaps firmly with the base plate. Further, the cover plate includes a frame that is disposed over the cover plate between the at least two ends of the grooved section. The grooved section snap-fits the frame and restricts the sliding movement of the frame out of the cover plate. The frame slides inside the grooved section prior to the coupling of the cover plate with the base plate. Such sliding action of the frame increases the options of changing multiple frames within the cover plate.

According to the present disclosure, the cover plate corresponds to a housing that accommodates the base plate on the second surface and the frame on the first surface. The frame is slidably pushed from one end to the other end between the at least two ends on the first surface of the cover plate. The sliding movement of the frame facilitates an easy-to-operate action of changing and replacing the frame aesthetically with respect to a wall. Further, the replacement of the frame requires a simple sliding action along the first surface of the cover plate therefore eliminating forfeiting of the switch assembly. Such utilization of the cover plate enhances the durability of the switch assembly. Further, the cover plate is also employed over the present electrical fittings with conventional switches and rocker assemblies.

Figure 1 to Figure 2C illustrate various views of a switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, Figure 1 illustrates the switch assembly 100 whereas Figure 2A illustrates an exploded view of the switch assembly 100. Figure 2B illustrates another exploded view of the switch assembly 100. Figure 2C illustrates another exploded view of the switch assembly 100.

The switch assembly 100 may be designed to be installed at an indoor location, such as a wall of a room or at an outdoor location. The switch assembly may be an electrical appliance that may be installed at multiple locations within the room. The switch assembly 100 may include a cover plate 102 and a frame 104 coupled to the cover plate 102. The frame 104 may have multiple designs and colours to match with the colour of the walls and thereby aesthetically enhancing the room. The cover plate 102 may have a modular design to detachably couple the frame 104 with the cover plate 102. The frame 104 may be replaced or changed according to a user and the room requirements. The switch assembly 100 may include the cover plate 102, the frame 104, a plurality of switches 106 coupled to a rocker assembly (not shown).

The cover plate 102 may include a grooved section 108 carved between at least two ends 110. The grooved section 108 may correspond to an elongated channel that may be formed between the at least two ends 110 of the cover plate 102. Further, the at least two ends 110 may be bent to extend orthogonally outwards from the cover plate 102. It may be noted that the at least two ends 110 and the grooved section 108 may form a C-shaped structure. The at least two ends 110 of the cover plate 102 may have the tapered ends 110-1 and 110-2. The at least two ends 110 of the grooved section 108 may be tapered from the outer side. The frame 104 may also have tapered ends 104-1, 104-2, to have a smooth finish on an outer periphery of the switch assembly 100. The cover plate 102 may include one or more slotted sections 112 grooved on either edge of the cover plate 102. In one example, either edge may correspond to an inner edge of the cover plate 102. In some embodiments, the one or more slotted sections 112 may facilitate attachment of the switch assembly 100 with the cover plate 102. The cover plate 102 and the frame 104 are described in greater detail in conjunction with Figures 2A-2C in the subsequent paragraphs.

Figure 2A illustrates the exploded view of the switch assembly 100. The switch assembly 100 may include a base plate 114. The base plate 114 may have a slotted section 116 and a plurality of holes 118. The slotted section 116 is a cut-out rectangular section to accommodate a rocker assembly 120. The rocker assembly 120 may be snap-fitted within the slotted section 116. The slotted section 116 may have a pair of snap-locks 122 disposed on the top and the bottom sides of the cut-out rectangular section. The pair of snap-locks 122 may extend orthogonally inwards from the base plate 114 and are adapted to receive and lock the rocker assembly 120 within the slotted section 116 by way of a snap-fit mechanism. In some embodiments, the pair of snap-locks 122 may correspond to a lock of the rocker assembly 120.

The plurality of holes 118 may correspond to elongated channeled sections with converging ends that are adapted to receive a plurality of snaps 124 of the cover plate 102, as illustrated in Figure 2C, firmly within the plurality of holes 118. The base plate 114 may include at least two holes 126 that are integrated on either side of the base plate 114 to attach the switch assembly 100 over the wall via one or more fasteners (not shown). The at least two holes 126 may be integrated on a left side and a right side of the base plate 114, as in case of conventional switch assemblies. Further, the base plate 114 may be integrated with one or more thorough slots 128 adjacent to the at least two holes 126. The one or more thorough slots 128 may have a T-shaped geometry to adjust various protrusions of the cover plate 102. Further, the base plate 114 may be cast with a collared boundary 130 along periphery and adjacent to the plurality of holes 118, the at least two holes 126, and the one or more thorough slots 128, to facilitate space between the cover plate 102 and the base plate 114. The collared boundary 130 will be described in greater detail in conjunction with Figures 4-5F.

As illustrated in Figures 2A-2C, the cover plate 102 may have a first surface 132 and a second surface 134. The first surface 132 may include the grooved section 108 resting between the at least two ends 110. As discussed earlier, the grooved section 108 is an elongated rectangular section within the first surface 132 of the cover plate 102 between the at least two ends 110. The grooved section 108 may be either machined from the first surface 132 or cast as a monolithic piece. The at least two ends 110 may extend orthogonally outwards from the first surface 132 of the cover plate 102. The cover plate 102 may have another slotted section 136 having equal dimensions with respect to the slotted section 116 of the base plate 114. The frame 104 may have another slotted section 138 similar to the cover plate 102 and the base plate 114. Such uniform slotted sections of the cover plate 102, the frame 104, and the base plate 114 may be adapted to ensure the plurality of switches 106 coupled to the rocker assembly 120 have frictionless and smooth working operation.

Further, the grooved section 108 may be adapted to receive the frame 104 between the at least two ends 110. The frame 104 may be adapted to slide from either the left or the right side of the first surface 132. Such assembly of sliding the frame 104 into the grooved section 108 may facilitate a quick and easy installation process of the switch assembly 100. It may be noted that the height of the at least two ends 110 may be equal to a width of the frame 104. The equal height of the at least two ends 110 and the width of the frame 104 may ensure uniformity to an outer surface of the switch assembly 100. Further, the tapering of the outer side of the at least two ends 110, i.e., the tapered ends 110-1, 110-2, and left side and the right sides of the frame 104, i.e., the tapered ends 104-1, 104-2, may ensure uniform cross-section along outer circumference of the cover plate 102 and therefore, may enhance aesthetics of the switch assembly 100.

As illustrated in Figure 2C, the second surface 134 may be integrated with the plurality of snaps 124. The plurality of snaps 124 may extend orthogonally outwards from the second surface 134. The plurality of snaps 124 may be configured to be received by the plurality of holes 118 of the base plate 114. It may be noted that the plurality of snaps 124 may correspond to vertical elements having varying cross-section that are adapted to be locked within the converging ends of the plurality of holes 118 of the base plate 114. In some example embodiments, the second surface 134 may include at least four snaps with two snaps adjacent to an upper side of the another slotted section 136 and two snaps adjacent to a lower side of the other slotted section 136. Similarly, the base plate 114 may have at least four holes with two holes adjacent to the upper side of the slotted section 116 and the two holes adjacent to the lower side of the slotted section 116. It may be noted that the plurality of snaps 124 and the plurality of holes 118 may be aligned to have uniform coupling between the base plate 114 and the cover plate 102.

The cover plate 102 may correspond to a rectangular housing that may be adapted to receive the base plate 114 within the second surface 134 by way of snap-fit mechanism between the plurality of snaps 124 within the plurality of holes 118. The rectangular housing may have at least four sides 140 to enclose the base plate 114. The one or more slotted sections 112 may be grooved on either edge, e.g., the left edge and the right edge, of at least two sides of the least four sides 140. It may be noted that the one or more slotted sections 112 may be adapted to snap-fit with the outer boundary of the base plate 114. The at least four sides 140 may have a width greater than a width of the base plate 114.

In one example, the frame 104 may be disposed over the cover plate 102 within the grooved section 108 between the at least two ends 110. The frame 104 may be made from a material selected from a group of materials such as but not limited to a glass, a wood, a marble, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the frame 104 may be designed to have a combination of materials to aesthetically match the wall. It may be noted that the color combinations of the frame 104 and the wall is an important aspect while designing the cover plate 102, such that multiple frames may be selected and replaced accordingly. In an embodiment, the switch assembly 100 may be designed without a wall mount, as shown in Figure 3A-3F, considering aesthetics of the room.

Figures 3A-3F illustrate different views of the switch assembly 100 without a wall mount, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically referring to Figure 3A illustrates a front view of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3B illustrates a rear view of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3C illustrates a left side view of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3D illustrates a right-side view of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3E illustrates a top side view of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3F illustrates a bottom side view of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The switch assembly 100 may be mounted over the wall via the at least two holes 126 of the base plate 114 that are adapted to receive one or more fasteners (not shown), as in the case of the conventional base plates. It may be noted that the dimensions of the base plate 114 may vary according to the size of the rocker assembly 120 and therefore, the plurality of switches 106. In some embodiments, the cover plate 102 may be designed to have uniform cross-section when the frame 104 is inserted within the grooved section 108. Successively, the plurality of switches 106 may be aligned within the slotted section 116 of the base plate 114, the another slotted section 136 of the cover plate 102 and the another slotted section 138 of the frame 104. Considering the aesthetic of the room, the plurality of the switches 106 and the frame 104 may be selected of varying or the same colors, as per the users requirements.

The switch assembly 100 may be designed to have electrical insulation, such that the cover plate 102, the frame 104, and the base plate 114 may ensure electrical operation of the plurality of switches 106. In some example embodiments, the electrical insulation of the switch assembly 100 may be facilitated by materials of the cover plate 102, the frame 104, and the base plate 114.

Figure 4 illustrates an isometric view of the base plate 114 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 illustrates different views of the base plate 114 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Figure 5C illustrates a top view of the base plate 114 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5D illustrates a bottom view of the base plate 114 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5E illustrates a left side view of the base plate 114 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5F illustrates a right-side view of the base plate 114 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In an embodiment, the base plate 114 of the switch assembly 100 may be coupled with the cover plate 102 from a front side and to the wall from rear side. The coupling of the base plate 114 with the cover plate 102 may be facilitated by the snap-fit mechanism of the plurality of holes 118 and the plurality of snaps 124. The connection of the base plate 114 with the wall may be facilitated by the one or more fasteners screwed through the at least two holes 126 of the base plate 114. The base plate 114 may be designed in a rectangular or square shape with a central portion, i.e., the slotted section 116 cut-out is adapted to receive the rocker assembly 120. As mentioned earlier, the collared boundary 130 may be integrated along the periphery and adjacent to the plurality of holes 118, the at least two holes 126, and the one or more thorough slots 128. The collared boundary 130 may correspond to a rectangular shaped-boundary or square-shaped boundary with the corners tapered. Also, the collared boundary 130 may protrude outwards from the surface of the base plate 114.

As mentioned earlier, the plurality of holes 118 may be the elongated channeled sections with converging ends. These elongated channeled sections may have one end towards an outer surface and the other end towards an inner surface. It may be noted that the elongated portion of each of the plurality of holes 118 may be towards the inner surface of the base plate 114. Each hole of the plurality of holes 118 may have a smaller portion protruding outwards from the outer surface of the base plate 114. The height of the protruding portion of each of the plurality of holes 118 may be equal to or less than the height of the collared boundary 130. It may be noted that the height of the collared boundary 130 may be greater than the remaining ends of the one or more fasteners to be screwed into the at least two holes of the base plate 114. In some embodiments, the collared boundary 130 may facilitate space between the cover plate 102 and the base plate 114.

Figure 6 illustrates an isometric view of the cover plate 102 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 illustrates different views of the cover plate 102 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically referring to Figure 7A illustrates a front view of the cover plate 102 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7B illustrates a rear view of the cover plate 102 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure Figure 7C illustrates a top view of the cover plate 102 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7D illustrates a bottom view of the cover plate 102 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7E illustrates a left side view of the cover plate 102 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; and Figure 7F illustrates a right side view of the cover plate 102 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As mentioned earlier, the cover plate 102 may have the grooved section 108 carved between the at least two ends 110. The grooved section 108 may be adapted to receive the frame 104. In some embodiments, the grooved section 108 along with the at least two ends 110 may correspond to a cassette structure that is configured to snap-fit the frame 104 within the cover plate 102, prior to coupling of the cover plate 102 with the base plate 114. It may be noted that the frame 104 may be coupled to the cover plate 102 prior to installation over the switch assembly 100. Such a mechanism may reduce time consumption. The cover plate 102 may be rectangular, square shaped housing plate with the another slotted section 136 cut-out to receive the plurality of switches 106. In some example embodiments, the cover plate 102 and the base plate 102 may be made from a material selected from a group of materials of plastic, polyvinylchloride (PVC), polycarbonate (PC), or a combination thereof.

Figure 8 illustrates an isometric view of the frame 104 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 9 illustrates different views of the frame 104 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically referring to Figure 9A illustrates a front view of the frame 104 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Figure 9E illustrates a right side view of the frame 104 of the switch assembly 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As mentioned earlier, the frame 104 may be a rectangular slab having the another slotted section 138, and may be slidably coupled within the grooved section 108 resting between the at least two ends 110. As illustrated in Figures 1- Figure 2C, the frame 104 may be made from wood, plastic, transparent glass, opaque glass, marble, stone, alloy steel, or any combination thereof. It may be noted that the frame 104 may be selected from a combination of materials and colors to aesthetically match with the wall.

In some example embodiments, the switch assembly 100 may facilitate a sliding action of the frame 104 within the grooved section 108 to increase the options of changing multiple frames within the cover plate 102. The frame 104 is slidably pushed from one end to other end between the at least two ends 110 on the first surface 132 of the cover plate 102. The replacement of the frame requires a simple sliding action along the first surface 132 of the cover plate 102 therefore eliminating forfeiting of the switch assembly 100. Such utilization of the cover plate 102 enhances the durability of the switch assembly 100. Further, the cover plate 102 is also employed over the present electrical fittings with conventional switches and rocker assemblies.

While specific language has been used to describe the present disclosure, any limitations arising on account thereto, are not intended. As would be apparent to a person in the art, various working modifications may be made to the method in order to implement the inventive concept as taught herein. The drawings and the foregoing description give examples of embodiments.
