Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0408466A2] A miniature switch operating mechanism comprises a first toggle (30) with grasp (24) and transmission bar (28), a rotary platen (40) for supporting the contact arm (14), and a mechanical link (48) with breakable connecting-rod formed by a latching hook (50) articulated to the bar (28) and cooperating with the release lever (42). The hook (50) is equipped with a protuberance (70) coming into engagement against a fixed stop (74) of the case (12) in the closed-welded state of the contacts (16, 18), in order to arrest the grasp (24) in an intermediate position S. <IMAGE>
