Abstract (en)

A balanced slider (60) comprises a movable equipment (62) rotating about a shaft (72) and provided with two movable contact arms (65, 66) cooperating with corresponding fixed contact arms (67, 68), the rotating movable equipment (62) being actuated by a snapping mechanism essentially comprised of a rigid tang (20) resting at a first end on a cantilever protrusion (24) of an anchoring bracket (12) and operating between two each other opposed reliefs (58, 59) integral with the movable equipment (62) and held in position by a spring (16) connected at a side to the rigid tang (20) and at the opposed side to a prolonging protrusion (18) of the supporting bracket (12) itself. To cause the snapping of the above mentioned mechanism, an intermediate point of the spring (16) is actuated by a force (42) directed essentially perpendicular with respect to a longitudinal axis of the spring (16) itself. <IMAGE>
