MOMENTARY PUSH BUTTON SWITCH WITH IMPROVED NON-CONDUCTIVE CAM FOR NORMALLY RETAINING MOVABLE LEAF SPRING CONTACTS IN A NON-OPERATIVE POSITION

摘要

An electrical switch of the push-button type including an actuator movable through a switch housing, with the actuator providing a cam head which when in its original or unactuated position, physically separates the contact ends of the switch blades within the housing, thereby preventing undesirable closing of the switch resulting from shock, vibration, or teasing, while permitting a full actuating movement and harmless overtravel of the actuator so as to positively assure proper and complete switch blade closure.
