Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0777246A2] The switch has an essentially linearly movable actuating element (7) which is moved against a spring force and acts on a contact bridge to move it into a switch position, whereby the contact bridge bridges fixed contacts (11) in the switch position. The actuating element acts on a switching ring (9) which is designed to only undergo a limited linear movement under the action of the actuating element and to perform a rotary motion under further action. The contact bridge is a rotatably mounted contact element (10). Elements mounted on the switching ring and contact element are brought together by the linear movement of the switching ring, so that when the switching ring rotates the contact element is turned into the switch position.
