摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The switch (1) has an electrical contact arrangement (2), and an operating unit (10) guided at a housing (11) in a movable manner. A locking element (21) is arranged for exerting locking force on the operating unit during operational engagement of the switch such that the operating unit is moved from a resting position to an end position for moving the contact arrangement from a switching condition to another switching condition. A pressure spring (16) produces resetting force for moving the operating unit to the resting position after the operational engagement of the switch. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Electrical switch i.e. mains switch (claimed), for a household appliance i.e. household dishwasher. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The locking element is arranged for exerting the locking force on the operating unit during operational engagement of the switch such that the operating unit is moved from the resting position to the end position for moving the contact arrangement from the switching condition to another switching condition, thus preventing malfunctioning and damage of the switch. The switch is simple in structure. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a side sectional view of an electrical switch. 1 : Electrical switch 2 : Electrical contact arrangement 10 : Operating unit 11 : Housing 16 : Pressure spring 21 : Locking element.
