Abstract

956,877. Snap-action switches. UNITEDCARK FASTENER CORPORATION. Oct. 17, 1961 [Oct. 19, 1960], No. 37200/61. Heading H2B. In a successive actuation switch comprising an insulating housing 12, on depression of a push-button 14, an edge of the arcuate-shaped head 62 of an actuator arm 60 engages a shoulder 36 on the housing and continued downward movement of the button rocks arm 60 about a pin 41 and displaces the arm axially downwardly, the end 64 of the arm pushing down the head 74 of a spring-pressed plunger 70 to force the plunger into an insulating sleeve 76 carrying movable contact 20, and the arm, plunger and sleeve then snapping over as a unit so that the rollers 78 comprising the movable contact 20 engage extensions of fixed contacts 18 located in the housing wall.
