Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1137029A2] The arrangement has a switch element (14) which exerts the switching force and a flat spring (38) clamped on one side at a clamping point (C). The switching element engages the spring to move it from a rest position to a switching position (48'). The spring forms the switching force threshold when in the rest position. An arrangement (58) for altering the position of the clamping point varies the threshold by altering the clamping point. Independent claims are also included for the following: a pressure measurement device.
