Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2192604A1] The device has a modulation unit for modulating forces (FO) exerted by a return spring (29) to define a peak of force at a point of travel of a rod (21) beyond which a switch is operated. The modulation unit includes a cam (20) attached to the rod. The cam includes slopes (25), high points (26) and counter-slopes (27) on which a circular element (22) i.e. spherical ball, is supported in succession when the rod is operated from a stable position to a position at which the switch is operated.
