Abstract

1,081,610. Press-button retractive switches. ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS Inc. Feb. 10, 1965 [Feb. 10, 1964], No. 5784/65. Heading H2B. A single circuit snap switch has a movable contact member (64) co-operating pivotally with one side of the actuator (80), and a common terminal member 50 co-operating pivotally with the opposite side of the actuator (80), a tension spring 100 joining the contact member (64) and common terminal (50) to provide for snap action of the contact member (64) between spaced fixed contacts 38, 44. The member 50 has a narrow neck portion (49) providing a flexible hinge portion which contributes to the action of the biasing spring 98 of the actuator (80) (Fig. 3, not shown). An insulating pushbutton 86 operates the metal actuator part 82 against the biasing spring 98. Both the movable contact member (64) and the terminal member 50 are generally U-shaped, with spaced arms engaging pivot grooves such as 94, 92, in the actuator part 82 (Fig. 3, not shown).
