Definitions

  • both operating member 36 and movable contact 37 revert to the respective original positions by the resilience of the plate spring 38 and the contact portion 37a returns to position X1, while the contact portion 37b returns to position Y1, whereby the fixed contacts 32 and 35 cease to conduct and the change-over of contacts is performed.
  • the operator operates the operating member 36 while grasping a side portion of the case 41.
