ABSTRACT:
A safety switch has a housing, a conducting assembly, a switching assembly and a resilient member. The housing has an on-end and an off-end. The conducting assembly is mounted in the housing and has two conductors and a bimetal strip. The conductors respectively correspond to the on and off-ends and are attached respectively to two separated ends of a circuit. The bimetal strip selectively connects the conductors. The switching assembly has a rocker and a connecting arm. The rocker is mounted pivotally on a top of the housing. The connecting arm connects the rocker and a contacting end of the bimetal strip. The resilient member is mounted between the on-end of the housing and the rocker to stably position the rocker when the circuit is on or off.
