Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2735609A1] The inverter mechanism (10) includes three fix contacts (11A,B), connected to two terminals (12A,B), and a conducting brush (13) attached to the input contact (11A). A rocking button actuates the brush which comes in contact with the two output contacts. The terminals have an identical structure which includes a body (16), with a hole (17) engaged by an electrical conductor, and a screw (18) engaging a threaded hole (19) perpendicular to the conductor hole. The mechanism is housed inside a box (20) with a lid (22). The box body presents two lateral tongues (30) which can be used to fix the box inside a recess.
