Abstract (en)

[origin: US4841106A] A symmetric percussion switching device is provided using a bistable dead point over-run device including an actuator movable between at least two positions and a control member whose movement causes rocking of the actuator from one to other of the two positions, after passing through the dead point, said device further comprising two switches whose actuating members cooperate with the actuator, respectively in the fractions of the stroke thereof adjacent said positions, said switches then being actuated by percussion so that the drawbacks of the conventional switching devices of this kind are avoided in which the pressure of the mobile contact on the fixed contact is substantially zero in the vicinity of the dead point changeover.
