Abstract

An electrical switch that can also be used as a conductor and as a crossing device, essentially characterized by the fact that it consists of a base, or fixing plate provided with two projectings that extend ending in two recesses at an obtuse angle capable of seating two supports. on tip of a tilting bridge, of insulating material, operable by pressure from the outside of the cover of the apparatus, fitted to said base, by an opening from which cover one of the opposite ends of the bridge protrudes, in correspondence with which it presents the same, under the cover, respective metallic conduits able to be placed alternately, to close the circuit, between the elastic laminar elements of respective contact pairs to which the constituent conductors of the circuit or governed circuits flow, the tilting bridge being subjected to the traction of a spring that is slidable along a hinge rod established on the bridge, from one end to the other of the same, so that at the same time that the bridge is fixed to the base, it maintains the pressure of the points of articulation of the same in the seats of rotation offered by the aforementioned designs to the a tilt is produced, the bridge persistence being assured in the position that each tilt is made to take by the running of the end of the spring along said crank pin.
