Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0678881A2] An electrical push button actuated switch has a pair of fixed contacts (14, 16) and a movable contact (19) at the end of an arm (18). The push button actuator (20) moves against a coil spring and the movable contact arm is displaced by an intermediate element (22) that reacts against a projection(18) on the carrier. The movement is controlled by a second spring (24) that has a loop form. This becomes loaded and provides a definite spring return action. <IMAGE>
