1. A switch actuation device for use in connection with an electrical switch mechanism having an actuatable structure, comprising an actuation mechanism in operable communication with the actuatable structure and configured to urge the actuatable structure of the electrical switch mechanism between a first position to a second position, wherein the actuation mechanism includes:
a housing having a portion movable by an urging force in a first direction, such that at least a portion of the movable portion at least partially contacts at least a portion of the actuatable structure, thereby causing the actuatable structure to move to the first position; at least one spring element engaged with at least a portion of the housing, wherein the at least one spring element is configured to build potential energy when the movable portion of the housing is urged in the first direction, and when the urging force is removed, the at least one spring element urges the movable portion of the housing in a second, opposing direction, such that at least a portion of the movable portion at least partially contacts at least a portion of the actuatable structure, thereby causing the actuatable structure to move to the second position; and at least one contact arrangement comprising at least one first contact element having at least one surface and at least one second contact element having at least one surface, wherein at least a portion of the at least one surface of the at least one first contact element is configured to contact and slide along at least a portion of the at least one surface of the at least one second contact element when the movable portion of the housing moves in the first direction and/or the second direction. |
