Abstract
925,340. Snap-action switches. OAK MANUFACTURING CO. Aug. 23, 1961 [Sept. 19, 1960], No. 30399/61. Class 38 (5). A snap-action switch has an operating member 29 having one position in which a movable contact 15 engages fixed contacts 11a 13a, another position in which a movable contact 16 engages fixed contacts 12a, 13a, and a central " off " position. Movable contacts 15, 16, have upper portions 15a, 16a, extending into enlarged apertures 156, 16b of blade members 17, 18, made of insulating material, both members 17, 18 being pivoted at 20 to the operating member 29. Coil springs 37, 37a, connected to members 17, 18 and to the operating member 29 provide snap-action operation for the switch. The three fixed contacts 11a, 12a, 13a are attached to the insulating switch base 10 which has a metal housing flange undercut to clear operating member 29 and closed by a cover-plate. The housing limits the outward movement of blade members 17, 18.
