SNAP ACTION ELECTRIC SWITCH

摘要

A snap action electric switch including a ball movable between alternate switching positions by a cam for controlling switching conditions. A coiled compression spring presses against the ball in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the ball between said switching positions to assist the cam in snapping said ball to its alternate switching positions and means is provided to permit the ball to move relative to the spring between said switching positions so as to prevent said coiled compression spring from laterally flexing as said ball is moved to its alternate positions.
