Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0553694A2] An electrical switch (1) is proposed on whose operating device (4), which is guided in a moving manner in a housing (2), contact links (8) are arranged which can be brought into touching contact with stationary contact surfaces (11) which, in turn, are located in a base (5) which is attached to the housing (2). Located on two mutually opposite surfaces, which run parallel to the operating direction, of the operating device (4) are two guide curves (14, 15) which have different shapes and into which in each case one pin (19, 20) engages. The two pins (19, 20), which are used for latching, are coupled to one another by means of a connecting element (21) which is elastically deformed in sections during the movement, as a result of the different guidance of the two pins (19, 20). <IMAGE>
