1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a protective tube for a contact pin, which is intended to protect the contact pin from the effects of any dirt or organic matter and which is designed to permit rapid and reliable assembly and disassembly of the contact pin within the tube.
2. Description of the Related Art
One common application of a protective tube of the above type is in a direct contact electrically operated switch. In such switches a rotatable contact disc is mounted on a shaft and is rotatable between two positions corresponding to two different states of the switch. A contact pin, which is arranged at one end of the shaft, is normally urged to the first position of the contact disc by a return spring. One of the two contact positions of the contact disc is connected to an electrical circuit which can be switched on and off by rotating the contact disc between the two positions. The switch also includes a protective tube which is disposed to cover the contact pin between its end on the contact disc and its end which faces the shaft. The contact disc is normally mounted for rotation in the protective tube with the contact pin contained within it and normally surrounded by the tube. When the switch is to be mounted on a surface it is necessary to ensure that the contact pin extends beyond the tube so that it can be easily inserted into an electrical socket.
One known form of protective tube comprises a tubular body member which is open at one end and has a tubular passage formed in it. The tubular passage forms a sleeve which encloses the contact pin. A metallic cap is threaded into the open end of the body member and is retained in position by a number of radially projecting lugs which engage the inside of the body member. As the metallic cap is tightened in position against the body member a small clearance develops between the inside of the body member and the outside of the cap so that the cap does not abut on the outside of the body member and so does not touch the contact pin when the cap is tightened in position. This arrangement is unsatisfactory since it is difficult to tighten the metallic cap and ac619d1d87
