Abstract

1485224 Mechanical switches AMF Inc 28 Aug 1975 [17 Oct 1974] 35602/75 Heading H1N An electrical switch has a slidable contact 18 mounted in a carrier 22 which is movable relative to stationary contacts 12, 13, 14 by a rocker handle 40 pivotally mounted between fixed side brackets 36, a compression spring 55 being mounted between the handle 40 and at least one of the side brackets 36 to provide a snap action movement for the handle 40 and contact carrier 22. The rocker handle 40 includes fingers 44, 45 for engaging and imparting horizontal motion to an upstanding portion 24 of a plastics contact carrier 22 when the handle 40 is pivoted from one switching position to another. The compression spring 55 may comprise a generally U-shaped wire spring having a base portion 58 received in a groove 61 in the handle 40 and having segments 57 received within holes or slots 63 in a pair of side brackets 36 attached or integral with the switch housing 27. The spring may alternatively comprise only one segment 57 received in a slot 63 of one of the side brackets 36.
