ABSTRACT:
An electric switch including fixed and movable contacts, the movable contact being carried by a pivoted arm movable between a first position at which the fixed and movable contacts are in closed contacting relationship and a second position at which the fixed and movable contacts are in open noncontacting relationship, a control lever, a pivot mounting the control lever for movement between first and second positions thereof corresponding to the closed and opened positions respectively of the contacts, a toggle linkage including a plurality of links operatively interconnected between the arm and the control lever, a spring connected between the toggle linkage and the control lever for moving the arm from the first position thereof to the second position thereof and vice versa upon movement of the control lever respectively from the first to the second positions thereof and vice versa absent the contacts being welded together in the closed position thereof, the links being disposed generally in-line in the closed contact position and out of alignment in the opened contact position, the control lever having branches which prevent movement of the control lever to the second position thereof upon the contacts being welded together, the branches being effective to abut a lower portion of the arm during immobilization of the arm due to the welded contacts and the retained in-line relationship of the links as the control lever is moved toward but not to the second position thereof.
