Abstract

Bei einem Wippenschalter, bei dem eine Kontaktwippe durch eine federbelastete Schalthülse einer Betätigungswippe verschwenkt wird, wirkt der Spitzenteil der Hülse mit vom Mittelabschnitt der Wippe nach oben vorstehenden Vorsprüngen oder Höckern derart zusammen, daß eine seitliche Verschiebung der Wippe bis zu einem Anschlag erfolgt, wodurch die sichere Kontaktgabestellung aufrechterhalten wird, bis in einer außermittigen Schnappstellung die Kontakte schlagartig und irreversibel geöffnet werden. Bei der Öffnungsschaltbewegung gleiten die Kontakte im Sinne einer Selbstreinigung aufeinander.

Figure 00000001
In a rocker switch in which a contact rocker is pivoted by a spring-loaded switching sleeve of an operating rocker, the tip part of the sleeve cooperates with projections or protrusions projecting upward from the central section of the rocker in such a way that the rocker is laterally displaced up to a stop, as a result of which the secure contact position is maintained until the contacts are suddenly and irreversibly opened in an off-center snap position. During the opening switching movement, the contacts slide on each other in the sense of self-cleaning.
