Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2811500A1] A switch, in particular a battery cutout switch for vehicles and the like, comprising: - a housing (12) carrying at least one pair of fixed electrical contacts (22), - a contact-holder body (28) carrying at least one movable electrical contact (32), the contact-holder body (28) being movable along a longitudinal axis (A) between an open contacts position and a closed contacts position, - elastic means (38) arranged between the housing (12) and the contact-holder body (28) and tending to push the contact-holder body (28) towards the open contacts position, - a handle (44) rotatable about said longitudinal axis (A) between an open position and a closed position, - a cam (64), fixed with respect to said contact-holder body (28), wherein the handle (44) cooperates with said cam (64) to move said contact-holder body (28) from the open contacts position to the closed contacts position to the closed position, upon rotation of the handle from the open position to the closed position, wherein said cam (64) has at least one first and at least one second active surface (70, 72), and said handle (44) has at least one first control member (54), which cooperates with the first active surface (70) and at least one second control member (56) which cooperates with the second active surface (72), said first and second active surfaces (70, 72) and said first and second control members (54, 56) being arranged in such a way that when the handle (44) rotates from the open position to the closed position, the first control member (54) cooperates with the first active surface (70) to move the contact-holder body (28) from the open contacts position to the closed contacts position, and when the handle (44) rotates from the closed position to the open position, the second control member (56) cooperates with the second active surface (72) to move the contact-holder body (28) from the closed contacts position to the open contacts position.
