Abstract

The switch has a contact pad on a fixed carrier Ä24Ü that is selectively engaged by a contact on a movable carrier Ä26Ü that pivots about a point. The motion is produced by a manually operated rocker Ä18Ü that is supported on a central spindle ÄS1Ü. One end of the rocker engages an angled surface Ä17Ü on an element Ä20Ü that can pivot a small amount and is located against a spring loaded slide element Ä16Ü. This moves and causes a spring loaded element Ä14Ü to displace the movable contact carrier to open the contacts.
