ABSTRACT:
An electrical switch including a body and a rotor mounted on the body for movement relative thereto about first and second spaced and generally mutually perpendicular axes. First and second fixed electrical contacts are carried by the body and are engageable by a first movable contact carried by the rotor. A plunger is movable generally parallel to the first axis by movement of the rotor about the second axis and a second movable contact carried by the plunger is engageable with a further fixed contact on the body. A conductive wire spring including a pair of resilient limbs which, in a rest position of the spring, are resiliently biassed in opposite directions respectively into engagement with the first fixed contact, has one of its limbs movable against its inherent bias by the rotor, during movement of the rotor about the first axis so as to engage the second fixed contact whereby the spring bridges the first and second fixed contacts. A permanent electrical connection exists between the first fixed contact and the second movable contact by way of the wire spring and the plunger.
