Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0981145A2] The switch has a tiltable actuation element (1) with two pressure feet (2,3) on the sides on opposite sides of the tilt axis and that alternately engage a plate (7) spanning two pressure switches (5,6) when the element is tilted. A force of one intensity applied to one side of the element activates the switch on that side; a force of a second, greater intensity actuates the second switch. A third switch (10) associated with one of the two sides of the actuating element is actuated when a force of a second intensity is applied to that side of the element.
