Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19701470C1] The arrangement has a contact lever (3) and an elbow joint (2,3) used to effect an over dead point position. The overstroke required to generate contact pressure and overcome tolerances and contact burn-off is produced by a movement which changes the length of one elbow joint arm. The arm of the elbow joint forming a latching lever acts directly on a contact lever rotatably mounted on a fixed axle. A switching lever (1) rotates about an axle (1B) and a latching lever is rotatably mounted in it in a bearing point in the form of an elongated hole.
