Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2261765A2] The electric switch (1) has an actuator (2), which acts together with a deflecting unit (3) such that the actuator is deflected in a direction from a neutral position to a pivot position in a pivot plane. The actuator acts together with a lever (10) such that the pivoting movement of the actuator is converted into a transformed rotating movement of the lever, and a switch element (6) is switched in the pivot position of the lever.
