Abstract (en)

[origin: US6548774B1] A device for switching an electric connection, especially a hinge switch includes a pin that can be actuated form outside the device. The device further includes an actuator arranged on the pin and interacting with a switch that switches the electric connection once a switching point is exceeded. The device allows the switching point to be adjusted and readjusted simply and permanently with relatively few constructive elements. The actuator is displaced in a radial and/or an axial direction in relation to the pin by an adjusting device in such a manner that the switching point can be adjusted to a given angel position of the pin.
