ABSTRACT:
A safety switch built-in with protecting circuit is provided. The safety switch includes a housing having a button shade pivotally mounted thereof. Three pairs of conductive plates is provided and one of the conductive plates is provided with a first platinum conductive boss. The other conductive plate is provided with a alloy plate having a second platinum conductive boss corresponding to the first conductive boss. A push and pull rod having one end being movably passed through an opening and the other end is pivotally connected with the button shade. Characterized in that wherein the alloy plate is made from assembling instead of pressing process. The curvature is formed such that the alloy plate is provided with bi-directional breaking functions. Furthermore, the internal stress structure will not be damaged during the assembling process. Besides, the yield and accuracy of mitering an overload current can be readily attained via the formula of V=IR and W=VA. Furthermore, the alloy plate is provided with a upper and lower supporting rods centrally such that the alloy plate is supported in a seesaw status. A push and pull rod is disposed in an opening of a free end and is connected to the supporting rods. Then push and pull rod has a jumping space (.DELTA.S) such that the alloy plate can be actuated in a recessed or projected position to attain an closed and opened circuits respectively. The configuration is therefore simplified and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Wherein when the push and pull rod and/or button is jammed or malfunctioned, the jumping space (.DELTA.S) is designed such that the alloy plate is deformed and the opened circuit can be still attained and kept. The safety can be therefore ensured.
