Abstract (en)

An electric switch comprises a pair of fixed contacts (10, 20) and a mobile contact (32) having a range of motion with a stopping position (32b) in which the fixed contacts (10, 20) are electrically connected. The mobile contact is a bar (32) of circular cross-section secured at one point (31) of its length such to oscillate in said range of motion and rotate about its longitudinal axis (A). The bar (32) rolls along one of the two fixed contacts (10, 20) towards the stopping connection position (32b). <IMAGE>
