Abstract (en)

[origin: DE4439008A1] An electric push switch has a button (13) operable about an off-centre spindle (14) with at least one link (16) transmitting the actuation movement and a contact spring (17) fitted in a housing (1) with connecting contacts (10) and a contact spring (17) with a stamped contact tongue (18). To provide a switch which is without complicated components, is easy to assemble, gives a reliable switching feeling and is also compact, the bracket (16) of the button (13) acts on a spring-mounted pivoting switching component (20) running approximately parallel to the direction of actuation (19) of the button (13), where the pivot (21) of the switching component (20) is opposed to the axis (14) of the button (13) and the switching component (20) bears a cam (22) which acts on the contact tongue (18) of the contact spring (17) fitted parallel to the direction of actuation (19) of the button (13).
