Abstract

The switch actuating lever is rotatable about its long axis with respect to the switch body. A relatively movable contact support carries a moving contact cooperating with a stationary contact arranged in the switch body. Between the rotary lever and the contact support is a coupling which enables the transition of the lever rotary motion into a sliding motion of the contact support, which results in the moving contact mating with the stationary contact. Preferably the lever actuates a rotor into a swivelling motion for closing further contacts in the switch body. The contact support and the lever coupling may be brought into swivelling motion with the rotor, while a relative motion between the moving contact and the contact support is carried out in a different direction than the contact mounting.
