Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0708464A2] The switch has an actuating element (4) operated against a coil spring for changing over at least one contact system, whereby the changeover is caused, when the actuating element is operated, by an actuation cam (24) mounted on the actuating element with a restoring force in the direction towards a contact bridge (12). The restoring force acts upon an arm (22) pivotably mounted on the actuating element. The actuating cam is mounted on side of the arm facing the contact bridge at a distance from the bearing point (23) about which the arm pivots.
