ABSTRACT:
A rocker switch comprises a contact spring in the shape of a loop, supported against a pivot member. The spring has a catch in the free end of the loop. The contact spring can be pivoted by means of a rocker lever into its open or closed position. The rocker lever is mounted on a roll provided with two additional cams in the form of a rocker. By means of an elastic switching arm arranged on the slide, the rocker is actuated by overrunning, thereby effecting the pivoting of the end support cam over the pivot member. This in turn yields movement of the contact springs into their open or closed positions. The contact springs may be arranged in series adjacently to each other and/or on a common axis successively to each other with their loop openings in the same or in opposing directions.
