Adjustable indicating device for load position
Abstract
An indicating device designed to provide an electrical signal relative to the position of a load is described. The device has a central housing with two wing structures on each side which support conventional switch means having cantilevered arms. Extending through the housing is a movable shaft that is spring biased to a forward extended position and adapted to respond against a load being positioned. The rear end of the movable shaft has an adjustable cam means which acts upon the cantilevered ams to cause a switching action upon shifting of the movable shaft by a load.
