ABSTRACT:
The electric switch has an angular movable contact element formed by a pair of angled legs interconnected at a bend, with the outer surface of the bend bearing on a support. A movable contact at the end of one leg of the contact element is engageable with a fixed contact. A spring-loaded swivel member bears against that side of the leg, carrying the movable contact, opposite to the side facing the fixed contact, at a point spaced from the bend, and is operable by a slidable switch actuator movable in a contact element displacement direction. A loading spring has one end engaged in the swivel member and its opposite end engaged in the actuator. The swivel member carries a movable contact or is formed with a contact surface which, responsive to movement of the actuator in a switch closing direction, is engageable with an additional fixed contact of the switch. A camming device is cooperable with the swivel member to effect a direct engagement, as distinguished from a sliding engagement, of the swivel member contact or contact surface with the associated fixed contact.
