UNITED onossl CONNECT-ina 130A-RD acorporation of levl 1 yinvention.relates to a vcross;-ariannecting` boardto be usd in controiling signal systems and the like. A .1 i A general object of this invention is to provide an improyed cross-connecting board hating 5 simple and improved construction; l
(n. particularobjctmof this invention qis to provide a cross-connecting board that Nsha-11 haye particular ease of manufacture u and assembiy, and with provisionrnade whereby the metallic strips constituting electrical eleirientsA of the ci?oss-corineeti-ng lboaro'lstructure, may be arf ranged in fixed intertting positions with respectl to their supporting insulating sheets` or members and with saidn stripsl restrained from lateral movements iii-'their interltting position; thereby, facilitatingiproper and-speedy assembly of the several elements of said cross-connecting boa-rd Without the use` of conventional fastening means;

AThe cross-connecting board comprises a sheet of insulating i-nateria/lV Ivi)Y constituting a baseplatei and having the genera-1 sha-pe illustrated inA Fig.

24 in the sheet 22, and furthermore these registering perforations coincide with the slitted openings in the metallic strips i3 and their associated circular recesses or cavities I2 in the insulating sheet I6, the purpose intended being to have the perforations of each metallic strip 25 equally spaced apart and with each perforation in each vstrip in vertical alignment with aparticulai' slitted opening I6 located in a particular metallic strip I3, and this with the ultimate end in View of being able to electrically connect any one of the metallic strips 25 with any one of the metallic strips I3, at the intersection points between said strips, the electrical connection being made by means of a screw plug 29 placed at the discretion of the person operating the crossconnecting board. This screw plug in use and after passing through aligned perforations in the metallic strip 25 and the insulation sheet 22,
makes contact by means of its screw end with an aligned slitted opening of .a particular metallic strip I3 selected.
p A third sheet of insulating material 2l' serves as a cover plate, and formed therein is a series of enlarged perforations 28, each perforation positioned to coincide with a particular set of aligned perforations 26 and 24, slitted opening IS, and circular recess or cavity I2. This insulating cover` sheet or plate has ush engagement with the top face of the metallic strips 25 and also the top surfaces of the insulated sheets I and 22, the several insulating sheets, when in assembled position, adapted to be bolted together by means of four bolts 33. It is alsoto be noted that at opposite sides of this cover sheet 2l, depending flanges 21 are provided for covering the end spaces formed by the depressed portion 32 of the insulating strip IU, thereby assuring a completely covered cross-connecting board in its assembled relation `of parts.
The insulating sheet I0, at one side thereof, is also provided with'a series of holes Il cut through the sheet, each hole being in line with one of the shallow recesses II as formed in said sheet iii, the number of said holes being equal to the number of shallow recesses employed. In thisv Furthermore, a metal strip 3I running the full width of the cross-connecting board, is bolted to the underside of sheet I0, and serves as a common contact element for contact straps I9.
Also a paper tab holder 30 is riveted to the top face of cover sheet 21 at the position shown in the drawings, and this for labeling purposes.
It will be manifest from the drawing and the description of parts so far referred to, that the elements of this device are of simple construc-v tion, and that said elements are assembled merely by fitting one to another, the use of bolts or other fastening meansV being employed only in the final assembly operation, it being further noted that the two sets of metallic strips are especially designed to have intertting relation with their insulating supporting sheets or plates as outlined herein.
The principles of operation of this device are not new but compare to the operation of any conventional cross-connecting board. In this connection the contact straps I9 are electrically connected to a series of signal devices or buzzers, and the strips 25 are electrically connected to a suitable program device. When the operator invserts a screw plug 29 in any one of the holes 28 of sheet 21, an electrical connection is made between one of the strips 25 and one of the strips I3, so that when an impulse is emitted from the program device it will be directed t0 the signal device or buzzer through this particular strip 25, connecting screw plug 29, the particular strip i3, and the contact strap I9 having electrical contact with the strip I3 just referred to, it being understood that each of the strips I3 are normally in electrical contact with a separate and distinct contact strap I9. Consequently a plurality of bells or buzzers placed in a building such as a school may be automatically caused to ring at a specified time of day by inserting the connecting screw plugs into predetermined desired positions on the board, and this in accordance with the impulses emitted from the program device.
rlhe bells or buzzers may be manually caused to ring at any time by pushing down on the push buttons I3, thereby making contact between common strip 3l and any one of thecontact straps I9, said common strip 3| being electrically connected to a suitable source of power.
