ABSTRACT:
A two-stroke switch to be actuated by two stroke operations comprises a first stationary terminal, a second stationary terminal, a contact element of conductive elastomeric material for establishing a current path between the first and second terminals, and an actuating member provided with a moving terminal for imparting a compressing force to the contact element. When the actuating member is first manipulated to compress the contact element axially thereof, the contact element is rendered electrically conductive, and when the actuating member is secondly manipulated to further compress the contact element which is then enlarged radially thereof, the contact element may be electrically connected to the first and/or second terminals thereby turning on the switch.
