Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to electrical switches, in particular for motor vehicles.
  • a support carries fixed conductive stops and tilting supports.
  • An elastically deformable conductive strip is pivotally mounted for contact with said stops.
  • An actuating member is mounted mobile on the support and includes a finger for punctual contact with said conductive strip and operation thereof.
  • the conductive strip has two main arms, each for support with one of the tilting supports, as well as a secondary arm for cooperation with said finger of the actuating member.
  • the main arms form the branches of a U joined at their root by a central section, said secondary arm being disposed between the main arms and ensures contact pressure of the conductive blade in contact with the fixed stops.
  • the blade carries a movable contact passing selectively from a contact carried by one of the stops to a contact carried by the other stop, causing current breaks.
  • Oxidation phenomena occur as well as the formation, on the one hand, of craters, and, on the other hand, peaks at the level of the contacts.
  • the finger of the drive member slides along the secondary arm to constrain the blade and tilt it, so that the control force is not as low as desired.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages and therefore to create a switch with a long service life, while having a low operating force and providing other advantages.
  • the elastic blade is axially movable by being driven by the finger of the actuating member cooperating with the tongue and a self-cleaning phenomenon occurs.
  • At least one of the main arms first performs a translational movement in contact with the fixed conductive stop concerned, before occupying a second stable position in contact with said stop.
  • the ends of the shaft are each carried by an axial retaining cradle, said end not being in contact with the bottom of the cradle.
  • the tree For local contact with the support, the tree can have a central barrel shape.
  • the conductive strip finds a third point of contact with the support via the shaft, which improves the floating character.
  • the secondary arm has a U shape with branches connecting to the free ends of the main arms, said main arms forming the branches of a U inside of which the secondary arm is housed.
  • the secondary arm has a great length and good flexibility, which is favorable for obtaining a good contact pressure of the blade in contact with the fixed stops.
  • the tongue crosses the plane of the blade and has an inclined portion favoring the tilting of the blade as well as possibly the establishment of a secondary circuit.
  • one of the arms has a projecting contact zone for cooperation with its associated fixed conductive stopper, while the other main arm is smooth for cooperation with a contact zone projecting by its fixed stopper. associated driver.
  • the contact zones can be added contact pads or grains or alternatively tiled or curved zones.
