ABSTRACT:
A switch mechanism is disclosed which is readily adaptable to a multiple pole switch mechanism wherein a removable card is supported in a housing. First and second contacts make up a switch pair and are mounted in the housing for mutual cooperation with the first contact having a mounting portion, a movable contact portion and a movable actuable portion. The removable card provides a selective actuation means to actuate the first and second contacts between open and closed circuit conditions. The card has abutment means to engage the movable actuable portion of the contact blade or blades. Also, the card has alternative areas which do not actuate respective ones of the contacts and this may be provided by apertures in the card so that no material of the card is present to engage the contact blade actuable portion. Accordingly, either open or closed circuit conditions may be achieved. Where the switch mechanism is a multiple pole switch, the card may have apertures and abutments as desired to achieve a desired combination of open and closed circuit conditions. The foregoing abstract is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or application, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
