Sealed operating mechanism producing a sharp and rapid transition for use in an electric switch, uses two isolated chambers each containing snap action switch with motion coupled by magnets on each switch

摘要

The operating mechanism has two chambers isolated from each other by a rigid wall, and each contains a snap-action mechanism. Operation of the primary switch (4) is transmitted through the wall by an attached magnet (9), which slides over the dividing wall and which displaces magnets attached to the second switch to operate the switch contacts.
