Abstract

Der elektrische Schnappschalter, insbesondere Mikroschalter weist eine durch eine Feder (30) belastete Schaltschwinge (20) auf, mit der die Schaltstellungen erzielbar sind. Zur Erhöhung der Schaltstellungen weist die Schaltschwinge 2o an ihrem einen Ende zwei im Abstand angeordnete Schwenkachsen (26,27) auf. Hierbei ist in der einen Schwenkrichtung die Schaltschwinge 2o um die eine Schwenkachse (26) bewegbar, während in der anderen Schaltrichtung die Schaltschwinge (20) um die andere Schwenkachse (27) bewegbar ist. Hierbei liegt die Schaltfeder bereichsweise zwischen zwei Vorsprüngen 56 des Betätigungsgliedes (34), wobei bei seiner Bewegung die Schaltfeder und damit die Schaltschwinge aus ihrer Mittelstellung bewegt wird. Die Rückstellung der Schaltschwinge erfolgt durch die gespannte Schaltfeder selbsttätig bei Freigabe des Betätigungsgliedes. The electrical snap switch, in particular microswitch has a rocker arm (20) loaded by a spring (30) with which the switch positions can be achieved. To increase of the switch positions, the rocker arm 2o at one end two pivot axes arranged at a distance (26.27). Here is the one pivoting direction Switch rocker 2o movable about a pivot axis (26) while the shift rocker (20) in the other switching direction the other pivot axis (27) is movable. Here the switch spring lies in regions between two projections 56 of the actuator (34), with its movement the shift spring and thus the shift rocker from its central position is moved. The reset of the shift rocker takes place automatically through the tensioned switching spring Release of the actuator.
