US Patent:

43018297, Nov 24, 1981

Filed:

May 1, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/145525

Inventors:

Richard A. Rowe - Louisville KY

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Louisville KY

International Classification:

F16K 2118
F16K 3300

US Classification:

137387

Abstract:

A flood control arrangement for dishwashers in which the in-flow to the dishwasher tub from the water supply line is automatically terminated in the event the tub water rises to a flood level. The arrangement includes a sealing plunger disposed in a plunger body member housing installed downstream of the water fill valve. The sealing plunger tends to be moved to the sealing position by the line water pressure to shut off in-flow to the dishwasher but is blocked from movement to this position whenever the water level is below the flood level by the stem of a float positioned in the dishwasher tub. When the water level in the tub approaches the flood level, the float rises in the tub to a position whereat the float stem releases the sealing plunger to allow it to move to the sealing position and shut off further flow to the dishwasher. The float stem either causes the sealing plunger to be tilted off a sealing face or prevents it from moving laterally in the line to the sealing position in order to produce the blocking action.

Abstract:

An electrical switch panel including a switch actuating assembly is disclosed for intermittently altering the electrical condition of a switch. A base member is formed to include a plurality of chambers each dimensioned for receiving and retaining the electrical switch actuating assembly is positioned on a support member carrying the switch. An insulative tactile film is arranged on the base pad providing a touch area covering the chamber openings. An axially movable member disposed in the chamber is operable by movement of the film to engage a cantilever switch actuating member whereby the axial movement of the film transmitted through the axially movable member causes an amplified movement of the cantilever switch actuating member which is effective in altering the electrical condition of the switch.
