ABSTRACT:
An electrical switch which has a body, a contact base at one end of the body, a cam member positioned for rotation within the body, and a plunger positioned within the body for nonrotating movement. The cam member has a conductive bridge contact portion and has cam followers which engage the cam surface in the base to move the cam member between a make position in which the bridge is in contact with contacts on the base and a break position in which the bridge is spaced from the contacts on the base. The plunger has an actuatable pushbutton portion extending from the body and has driving portions which engage driven portions on the cam member to rotate the cam member upon nonrotating movement of the plunger. The plunger engages the cam member to provide a rotating first camming action, while the cam member engages the base to provide a nonrotating second camming action.
